Elle King Postpones Tour Dates Until March Amid Drunk Performance At The Grand Ole Opry

Posted January 25, 2024

Elle King recently performed at the Grand Ole Opry for a Dolly Parton tribune to celebrate Dolly’s 78th birthday!

We shared with you the videos of King’s performance and to say it was bad would be an understatement.

King went on the Opry stage extremely intoxicated.

At first King went on the stage and performed Dolly’s hit song “Jolene” with no issues…

But when she returned for the second show this happened…

King didn’t know the words to a Dolly Parton song, yelled at the audience, faked a Southern accent and then proceeded to tell the audience she was extremely drunk.

Here are the quotes King said while drunk on stage:

I went to Robert’s…I don’t give a sh*t…

Don’t tell Dolly. Holy sh*t. I swear to God if you guys tell Dolly…”

“Everyone’s like, ‘Holy sh*t, we bought tickets for this sh*t?’ I’m not even gonna lie. I’m not even gonna lie.

Holy sh*t. I’m not even gonna f*ckin’ lie. Y’all bought tickets for this sh*t? You ain’t gettin’ your money back.

I’ll tell you one thing that’s true. I’ll tell you one thing more.

Hi, my name is Elle King. I’m f*cking hammered.”

We all know that Dolly Parton is a well loved and adored icon in the South, and we sure as heck know NOT to disrespect Miss Dolly!

So people across the nation were extremely disappointed and frustrated at King’s “performance.”

Dolly Parton’s sister, Stella, was FURIOUS with the performance by King and went to social media to share her thoughts.

Since we’re comparing apples to oranges on here. I’m still stewing and thinking bout how any lil spoiled brat with an opportunity to sing on the Opry to pay tribute to a legendary songwriter like Dolly Parton would just piss on the star circle on the stage. Taylor Swift wouldn’t.
