Why is Taylor Swift ‘leading’ tributes to Dolly Parton?

[HereBeFuckery]

It’s irritating the ever living shit out of me. Fuck off Taylor, go and think up another publicity stunt. A woman with actual talent has died, this isn’t a bandwagon for you to jump your plastic ass on. Have you read her torrent of drivel - she manages to shoehorn herself into the spotlight throughout. It reads as if she views Parton as laying the groundwork for her own career - monumental fuckwittery.

You are clearly completely clueless about Dolly Parton.

It’s weird and attention seeking for you to use the death of a woman who you clearly know nothing about and share no values with, to take misogynistic pop shots at another celebrity. I’m sure you’ll get the attention you were looking for and a woman only had to die to give you your chance.

Gross behaviour.

What a foul bitchy unnecessary thread

Wow how bitter and jealous of Taylor (also another incredibly talented woman) are you? A woman who was a huge country music star giving tribute to another huge country music star? Who’d have thought it. 🙄🥱 get a life luv.

No.

Just you picking fault where there is none to be had because you don't like TS.

There are hundreds of tributes from all kinds of celebrities that talk about how they were inspired and influenced by Dolly Parton.

It is so depressing in 2026 that Taylor Swift is still the target of so much bile. Eminem posted a copy of a note DP had sent him, is that attention seeking and shameless self promotion? Or is it only massively successful women you object to?

I am so sick of people tearing a successful woman down, and especially when she’s just expressing her sorrow over someone’s death. If you are a woman, shame on you.

Well, you're clearly not a Dolly fan are you OP so why are you weighing in?

If you were a Dolly fan you'd know that the last thing she'd ever do is try and tear down another successful, talented woman. Dolly liked TS, TS was inspired by Dolly and is currently one of the world's biggest female music stars, so it's entirely appropriate for her to pay tribute, and for media outlets to then focus on this.

Your post is an angry, bitter rant for no apparent reason. Try and be inspired by Dolly, like Taylor was. Be more Dolly.

Nope most tributes are personal and often refer to how the individual feels and is affected by the death.

It’s quite offensive to Dolly’s loved ones to suggest tributes are all fake and self promoting. Stop shitting all over it.

Op, your misogyny is on show!! Go cover up quick!

Well no, because those references aren't there.

First paragraph: Dolly's legacy and impact on the world, how much of a loss she is to everyone.

Second paragraph: Taylor uses the pronoun 'us' a few times as she expands upon what Dolly meant to the public, to other artists, to her fans - this is all about Dolly as a role model to millions. Taylor is included among those who look up to Dolly, but very clearly here as part of a much wider collective. Taylor counts herself among the other fans who are mourning Dolly. It would read very strangely if Taylor used 'they' instead and didn't include herself as one of many who admired Dolly.

Final paragraph: Dolly as talented artist, philanthropist and inspiration. Starts off with Dolly's talent and her literacy work and charity, finishes with the only use of 'me' in the whole piece when again Taylor counts herself as one of many girls who grew up dreaming of being like Dolly.

Seriously, have you ever written a eulogy for example? You would always talk about the impact the deceased had in their life on you and all the other people who loved them. Talking about how profoundly another person shaped your dreams, encouraged you and inspired you is paying tribute to that person, not making it about yourself when you put it in the context - as Taylor does - of how they did the same for others, how their life made the world a better place and how their death leaves behind a wonderful legacy along with the grief.

Taylor’s tribute is graceful and respectful and a completely normal example of this kind of text, and to read self-absorption into those words is very strange. Very much not in the spirit of Dolly, who I am sure would have really liked what she said.

What is wrong with you you absolute weirdo.

Wow you really don’t like Taylor do you. I’m no Swiftie but even I can see she also has talent. And I don’t believe she has a plastic ass.

being an ex country singer it’s very possible that Dolly totally inspired Taylor. Aka laid the groundwork for her career 🤷‍♀️

Misogyny is hatred of women. I don’t hate women. I hate shameless self promotion by those who lack talent. Please don’t keep saying TS is talented. It makes you look a bit dim. She’s manufactured, auto-tuned and should be viewed in the same light as other manipulators of teen girls.

She could lead the tributes by carrying on Dolly's charitable works. In fact, we all could.

My understanding is that she made a multimillion donation to one of Dolly’s charities just last month following her wedding.

Brilliant

LOL, the hatred towards this successful, gifted, beautiful young music star (from some posters) on here is ridiculous. You sound so angry and bitter @HereBeFuckery I think you need a strong coffee with some whiskey in it, and a nice lie down.

What extreme visceral hatred for someone you don't even know.

Calm down.

Also R.I.P. Dolly.

I'm not a taylor swift fan. But she has done more charity work than you or I ever could. She was clearly inspired by the amazing work of Dolly Parton. If you aren't misogynistic, why did you feel the need to bring her looks into your comment? Why couldn't you state your opinion in a way that doesnt insult her femininity? Yor post is dripping with misogyny. You're no true Dolly fan if that's how you speak about other women.

Keep digging @HereBeFuckery although you are probably better off doing it internally though to figure out what is lacking in your life that you are so irritated by this.

Did TS perhaps steal your man? Have you had a long standing yearning for Travis Kelce that you are only just realising?

Ts is a huge donator. A quick Google search will show you.

Erm, maybe look up Taylor Swift's charitable donations 😅

It’s just the way newspapers write.

Another one I constantly see is ‘So and so breaks their silence about…’

You just have to take it with a large pinch of salt. All exaggeration.

Her and her husband gave millions to Dollys book charity when they got married. Dolly did a video thanking them for their generosity.

Maybe we could ignore the OP's misogynistic little tantrum and talk about some of the cracking things Dolly said and did
One that always makes me smile is when she was asked about people perceived her as a dumb blond
She said I ain't dumb and I'm definitely not blonde
🤣🤣

This. ^ The OP's posts drip with misogyny, hatred, and bitterness. What an awful thread! Such anger!

Like a pp, I wonder if Taylor stole the OP's man! 😆

Or maybe the OP's man fancies the hell out of Taylor, and she's jealous.

.

Where does this Taylor Swift hatred come from? I don't understand it at all. She's not any of those things you're saying.
If I were you I'd go out and do something nice, you're sounding crazy bitter about this.
