Let’s talk about legends, shall we? Country music icon Dolly Parton is no stranger to making headlines, and now she’s setting the stage for a major celebration as she gears up for her 75th birthday in January 2021. The legendary singer, who just turned 74, has revealed her plans to mark another trip around the sun by gracing the cover of Playboy—again.

During an appearance on 60 Minutes Australia on March 8, Dolly let the world in on her bold birthday wish. With her signature wit and charm, she shared, “I don’t plan to retire. I just turned 74 and I plan to be on the cover of Playboy magazine.” She added with a laugh, “See, I did Playboy magazine years ago, and I thought it’d be such a hoot if they’ll go for it—I don’t know if they will—but if I could be on the cover again when I’m 75, that’d be something!”

A Look Back: Dolly’s First Playboy Cover

Back in October 1978, Dolly Parton made waves when she first posed for Playboy at the age of 32. Clad in the iconic black bunny ears and a low-cut bodysuit, she became a cultural sensation. When asked if she’d consider wearing the same outfit for her 75th birthday cover, Dolly playfully responded, “Maybe! My boobs are still the same, so I could probably rock it again.”

“I could probably use it,” she revealed, showing her signature humor and self-awareness. This kind of confidence is what makes Dolly so beloved by her fans. She’s not just a singer; she’s a legend who knows how to have fun with her image.

Dolly’s Perspective on Aging

Dolly also opened up about her approach to aging, sharing that she doesn’t anticipate any drastic changes in her appearance. “I’ve had about all the nips and tucks I can have,” the nine-time Grammy Award-winning artist confessed. But she added with a smile, “The good part with me is, I have my own look. I look kind of cartoonish, and cartoons don’t really age that much.”

For Dolly, aging gracefully isn’t about trying to hold onto youth—it’s about embracing who she is and continuing to live life to the fullest. “Even when I’m 90, I’ll still probably look about the same way. Just thicker makeup and bigger hair,” she joked. That’s the spirit, Dolly!
