The country and western legend revealed that she doesn’t want to be caught out if she has to flee her bed in an emergency, so she chooses to sleep in her makeup
Dolly Parton sleeps with her make-up on so that she can look glamorous in case an earthquake hits. The country and western legend doesn’t want to be caught out if she has to flee her bed in an emergency.
Dolly, 79, said: “I sleep in my make-up when I’m in California. With the earthquakes, I never know when I’m going to have to run out in the middle of the street. “I’m not going to be on the news and look like hell, which I do without make-up. So I leave a little bit on.”
The singer, who has sold more than 100million records, also told how she has no plans to retire any time soon.
She believes artificial intelligence will be good for music, but added: “But I’d rather have my own voice out there, good or bad, instead of somebody recreating me using AI.” And the icon, whose husband Carl Dean died last month, pledged: “I will hopefully be working till my last breath. If I live to be in my nineties, I’ll be standing in these high heels and I’ll still be writing and singing.”
Dolly, who is worth around £500m, said she knows her own mind, and had always stood up for herself.
She explained: “I’m not afraid of men. I have six brothers, my dad, my uncles and my grandpas that I loved. I always stood my ground at home, so I figured I could stand my ground wherever I went. It’s not easy to boss me around.”
She added: “All through the years, people have thought that I was too gaudy. Too this, too that. As far as how I wear my make-up, how I dress, I don’t care what people think.”
The Daily Star recently reported that the country music star recently teamed up with pop icon Sabrina Carpenter, but the 79-year-old issued a clear warning to the Please Please Please singer ahead of their recording session.
Dolly Parton gave Sabrina Carpenter four rules before they collaborated.
Dolly told Knox News: “Of course she can talk a little bad now and then. I told her: ‘Now, I don’t cuss. I don’t make fun of Jesus. I don’t talk bad about god and I don’t say dirty words on camera – but known to if I get mad enough!”
She even changed the lyrics to one of Sabrina’s most iconic lines.
