And while many spent the night of January 29 taking shots at President Trump, Dolly preferred to delicately skirt the issue, in the way only she can.
“Thank you…aww that’s so sweet of you,” Dolly said as many in the crowd gave her a standing ovation. “Greetings from Dollywood, Hollywood. I almost didn’t get in. Seriously, I didn’t. They were holding me backstage, they kept wanting to see my I.D.’s. Well, I think they wanted to see I.D.’s ― maybe it was just double D’s. I’m glad to get that off my chest. Of course, Jane and Lily are not my only two famous girlfriends.”
