Dolly Parton has always been firm with her decisions - whether it was accepting recognitions or turning down offers.
With the Super Bowl weekend only months away, the conversation on who should be worthy of performing at the annual musical and sporting event has been revived.
Turns out, Dolly Parton has been offered to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show multiple times already.
Dolly Parton Declined Super Bowl Halftime Show
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, the "Jolene" singer candidly admitted that she has been offered multiple times the huge gig.
"Oh, sure. I've been offered that many times," she said. "I couldn't do it because of other things, or I just didn't think I was big enough to do it - to do that big of a production. When you think about those shows, those are big, big productions. I've never done anything with that big of a production. I don't know if I could have. I think at the time that's what I was thinking."
However, things are pacing a little differently now. Parton, who is due to release her new rock album this November 2024, feels like she now have the material to do a huge production.
"It would make more sense. That might change. I might be able to do a production show," she said.
The Super Bowl weekend in 2024 is already stacked with a performance from Usher. The R&B royalty has been preparing for his biggest performance yet.
