Dolly Parton closed out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony

Dolly Parton closed out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony with a performance of a new rock song.

The country icon was inducted during the ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday night, where she celebrated her newfound rock star status and reiterated plans to release a rock album in her speech. “I’m a rock star now!” she said. “This is a very special night for me.”

Addressing her previous decision to remove herself from the nomination process, Parton said, “I’m sure a lot of you knew that back when they said they were gonna put me in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I didn’t feel like I had done enough to deserve that. I didn’t understand at the time that it’s about more than that, but I’m just so honored and so proud to be here tonight.”
