Dolly Parton refused to pick political sides for decades: ‘I’m not in politics, I’m an entertainer’

The country legend, who died Tuesday at 80, turned down offers from both the Trump and Biden administrations

Dolly Parton spent decades singing about love, heartbreak, faith and working "9 to 5," but there was one arena the country music legend repeatedly resisted entering: partisan politics.

"I am not political, and I refuse to get caught up in political things," Parton told USA Today in a 2020 interview.

Parton, who died Tuesday at 80, maintained that position through the presidential elections, pointed questions about President Donald Trump, offers of the nation's highest civilian honor and controversies involving some of her fellow entertainers.
