Elle King recently gave a very drunken performance at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville Tennessee. The audience, as well as several celebrities (including Dolly Parton's sister) have taken to social media to express their frustration with her performance. During her show, she was attempting to pay tribute to Dolly's birthday by singing one of her songs, but rather she botches the song by forgetting the lyrics, yells profanities at the crowd about being 'hammered', and eventually even mocks them saying 'Y'all bought tickets for this ****, y'all ain't gettin' your money back!" The Grand Ole Opry even took to X and issued a public apology for her slurred and profane performance. Check out the performance, the Opry’s apology, and Dolly’s sister’s take on the situation below:

When you disrespect someone in my family you have disrespected every one of us. I choose to speak up on my own personal platforms because it’s my prerogative. I know a lot about being disrespected in the music industry. However, I no longer stay silent when I see people — Stella Parton (@StellaParton) January 23, 2024

 

 

Hi Judas, we deeply regret and apologize for the language that was used during last night’s second Opry performance.
