Dolly Parton took to her social media channels to share a fun throwback pic to kick off the weekend. The legendary country singer is grinning ear-to-ear, donning a blue dress with long, flowing sleeves. Fans gushed over the “gorgeous” look in the comments as Parton proclaimed: “I’ve always been a sucker for blue!”
The throwback photo is a clever tie to Parton’s latest song, “Blue Bonnet Breeze.” It’s the latest track to release from Parton’s upcoming album, Run, Rose, Run, which will release hand-in-hand with her novel of the same title, co-authored with bestselling author James Patterson.
“I came up with the idea for ‘Blue Bonnet Breeze’ because two of the characters decide to begin working together on a song,” Parton previously said in a statement. “I thought, what song would that be? What song would they write? So, I just chose a Romeo and Juliet kind of story and made the music very slow, very emotional, and it's actually one of my very favorites from this album. It could be a movie of its own!”
Parton’s Run, Rose, Run album is due out March 4. The novel will follow on March 7. See her proof that she’s “always been a sucker for blue” here:
