In honor of the 4th of July this year, Dolly Parton posted a photo of herself in her best sparkly stars and stripes. In the comments of the social media post, several fans begged the Queen of Country to "save" them from the current administration.
"Happy 4th of July ❤️🤍💙" she captioned the Instagram post. In the photo, the "9 to 5" singer is wearing a blue hat with red and white stripes on top and sparkly stars around the rim. Her blouse is red and white stripes with a blue collar and matching sparkly stars on her lapels. She even has on red, white, and blue hoops and fire-engine-red lipstick to match.
