Dolly Parton’s Unconventional Birthday Wish
It’s no secret that Dolly Parton marches to the beat of her own drum, and when it comes to celebrating her 75th birthday, she’s keeping things just as unique as ever. “I plan to be on the cover of Playboy magazine again,” she says with her signature twinkle in her eye. “I did Playboy years ago, and I think it’d be such a blast if they’d go for it again—imagine me at 75!” Dolly first graced the iconic magazine’s cover way back in 1978, and now she jokes that some things haven’t changed. “Boobs are still the same!”
Work, Laughter, and a Whole Lot of Heart
Dolly Parton’s charm lies not only in her music but also in her down-home sense of humor and zest for life. Retirement? Not on her radar. “As long as I’m alive, I’m working,” she says with a laugh. And according to an insider speaking exclusively to Closer, Dolly has the energy of someone half her age. “What many people don’t realize about Dolly is that she can’t sit still. There’s never a dull moment when you’re around her,” the source reveals. Her enthusiasm for life and creativity is nothing short of contagious.
A Birthday Celebration Like No Other
For Dolly, birthdays aren’t about slowing down—they’re about turning up the volume. Normally, she’d throw a grand party, inviting all her celebrity pals like Jane Fonda and Reba McEntire. But these days, things are a bit different. Due to the pandemic, Dolly is planning a virtual celebration around her January 19 birthday so fans worldwide can join in the fun. “She’s always thinking of ways to connect with her audience,” says an insider. And if that’s not enough, there’s more to come. In December, her manager Danny Nozell confirmed an exciting global Dolly Fest tour to honor her 75th year. “Expect Dolly Fest to go global in 15 stadiums,” he announced, ensuring fans that the celebration will be one for the ages.

Even with a birthday to celebrate, Dolly’s plate is full of creative endeavors. Before the holidays, she released A Holly Dolly Christmas, a delightful new Christmas album, and Songteller: My Life in Lyrics, a fascinating book featuring 175 of her most beloved songs. In this compilation, Dolly shares personal stories behind each track, offering fans a glimpse into her life and emotions. “There are pictures of my childhood, my early career… I tell the stories about where I was emotionally and physically when I wrote them,” she explains. It’s a treasure trove for any fan eager to understand the woman behind the music.
Midnight Musings and Relentless Creativity
Dolly’s creative process is as fascinating as the woman herself. Jad Abumrad, host of the podcast Dolly Parton’s America, tells Closer, “She wakes up at 3 in the morning and does a lot of her songwriting at that hour.” For Dolly, inspiration doesn’t wait for the clock. The Dolly Abumrad sees is relentless, driven by a passion that never fades. “The Dolly I see is just relentless,” he emphasizes. And with more music set to drop in 2021, fans can expect even more from this legendary artist.
