Elle King Returns to the Stage After Dolly Parton Tribute Incident
Dolly Parton Reveals What She Told Elle King After Birthday Tribute Drama (Exclusive)
Elle King is back to workin’ 9 to 5.
The “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer returned to the stage for the Extra Innings Festival in Arizona March 1, over a month after her drunken performance at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry in honor of Dolly Parton‘s 78th birthday.
King—who postponed several shows following the debacle—hit the mic at Tempe Beach & Arts Park wearing a red long sleeve top, a scarlet snake print miniskirt and dark sunglasses covering her eyes for the show.
Back on Jan. 19, the 34-year-old faced backlash for admitting she was “f–king hammered” onstage, even forgetting the words to Parton’s songs while honoring the country legend, who was not in attendance.
“Don’t tell Dolly,” King told the audience in a video seen online. “Holy s–t. I swear if any of you guys tell Dolly.”
“I’m not even gonna f–king lie. Y’all bought tickets for this s–t?” she continued. “You ain’t getting your money back.”
The iconic venue later spoke out to apologize for the expletive-filled show, saying in a statement, “We deeply regret and apologize for the language that was used during last night’s second Opry performance.”
