This is an extremely rare honor for a non-governmental/political figure ...
Because although Dolly was from the Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Tennessee, Dolly's personal donations, investments, and charity projects such as "Imagination Library" made a huge impact in Appalachian Kentucky.
For which Dolly officially became a Kentucky Colonel in 2024.
Since Beshear made the half-staff order at state building yesterday, surrounding states have followed suit - particularly those in Appalachia.
As of this morning, President Trump also ordered flags to be at half-staff for one week.
THAT is especially remarkable - because although Dolly never openly said her political party, as mentioned in the below post, she made it clear that she was a Christian liberal - but she never criticized Trump himself or any other politician - just supported liberal policy.
Even the Empire State Building in NYC lit up pink in Dolly's honor, last night ...
Taylor Swift and Beyonce on Dolly's passing, which as per their usual, succinctly summing up how we feel.
Taylor Swift ...
Beyonce ...
Even rapper Eminem chimed in with a note Dolly wrote him ...
Though a trite phrase often said when people pass, in Dolly's case, it's true - the world just isn't the same without her in it, her loss is almost palpable - the world needed her.
But there will never be another Dolly.
We will always love you, Dolly 😢
