The music world is mourning the loss of Dolly Parton, and the tributes are nothing short of beautiful. John Mayer took the stage at a SiriusXM concert in Amagansett, New York, and delivered a tender electric cover of “I Will Always Love You” right before his song “Gravity.” Fans in attendance described it as a moment of pure reverence, with Mayer letting the guitar do the talking.
He wasn’t alone in honoring the country icon. Harry Styles played Dolly’s original recording during his Madison Square Garden show, stopping to thank her and say, “Dolly, we love you.” Meanwhile, Jack White performed “Jolene” live in London, proving once again that Dolly’s songwriting transcends every genre. Reba McEntire also shared a heartfelt public remembrance, writing, “Dolly, thank you for all the wonderful things you did for us here on earth. There will never ever be another you.”
Dolly Parton’s influence stretched from country to pop to rock, and these tributes show just how deeply she touched artists across the board. Her songs are the soundtrack to so many lives, and hearing them performed live this week has been a beautiful way to honor her legacy. What’s your favorite memory tied to a Dolly Parton song?
