Country Singer's Dolly Pardon Tribute Was So Bad The Grand Ole Opry Issued an Apology

Elle King, actor-comedian Rob Schneider's daughter, stirred up controversy. She was at Dolly Parton's 78th birthday tribute concert. And guess what? Her performance was... let's say, unique.

King sang Dolly’s "Marry Me." But there was a twist – she didn’t know the words! “I don’t know the lyrics to these things in this fucking town. Don’t tell Dolly,” she confessed on stage. The audience? Shocked. Videos caught it all.

But wait, there's more. King admitted something else – she was drunk! Yes, on stage. This revelation led to some awkward moments. She wasn't shy about using profanity either. USA Today counted over a dozen times.

King even joked about the ticket sales. “Y’all bought tickets for this sh*t, you ain’t getting your money back,” she announced. Her performance became the talk of the town, overshadowing the event. Fans weren't thrilled. Criticism poured in.

The Grand Ole Opry had to step in. They apologized for the language used. “We deeply regret and apologize for the language that was used during last night's second Opry performance,” they tweeted. The night was supposed to be all about Dolly in Nashville. But now, it's about King’s performance.

The Opry and fans are disappointed. And King? She hasn't said a word about it yet. We are keeping an eye on the story.
