Dolly Was Honored At ACM Honors
The Academy of Country Music announced in July that Parton would receive the ACM Poet’s Award for her extraordinary contributions as one of country music’s most influential songwriters.
The award recognizes her decades-long impact on country music and her songwriting legacy.
While other country stars gathered in Nashville to celebrate the honorees, Dolly was unable to be there.
Instead, she shared a special video message.

Dolly Sends A Message To Fans
Parton has recently had to miss several public appearances because of ongoing health issues.
Just days before the ACM Honors, she also shared a video message explaining that her doctor had advised her not to travel after she experienced dizziness and dehydration.
In that message, Dolly reassured fans that “all is going well on the medical end of things” and said she was continuing to work on several projects.
Her latest video message now gives fans another opportunity to hear directly from the country icon.
Her Fans Continue To Show Their Support
Dolly’s absence has understandably caused concern among fans, especially after she canceled several appearances earlier this year.
However, she has continued to reassure everyone that she is improving and remains focused on her work.
She is currently involved in several major projects, including her upcoming Broadway musical Dolly: A True Original Musical, the SongTeller Hotel and the Life of Many Colors Museum.
Despite missing the ACM Honors, Dolly’s presence was still felt throughout the evening.
Her songwriting has influenced generations of country artists, and the ACM Poet’s Award adds another major honor to an already extraordinary career.
