Dolly Parton Reveals She Was Whipped by Grandfather Over Clothing Choices

Dolly Parton has revealed that she was whipped by her grandfather over her clothing choices when she was a child. In a new interview with The Guardian, the country music icon said that her grandfather, who was a preacher, would punish her physically for wearing clothes that he considered to be too revealing.

"I was willing to pay for it," Parton said. "I'm very sensitive. I didn't like being disciplined -- it hurt my feelings so bad to be scolded or whipped or whatever. But sometimes there's just that part of you that's willing, if you want something bad enough, to go for it."

Parton's grandfather was not the only one who disapproved of her clothing choices. Her father, who was also a preacher, also scolded her for wearing clothes that he considered to be too flashy. However, Parton refused to let their disapproval stop her from expressing herself through her fashion.

"I always knew I was different," Parton said. "I didn't want to be like everybody else. I wanted to be myself. And that meant dressing the way I wanted to dress."

Parton's unique sense of style has become one of her trademarks over the years. She is known for her flamboyant outfits, which often feature big hair, bold colors, and lots of sequins. Parton has said that her fashion is a way for her to express her personality and her confidence.

"I dress for myself," Parton has said. "I don't dress for anybody else."

Swifties Take on NFL Turf After Taylor Swift's Boyfriend Travis Kelce Suffers Injury

Swifties, the passionate fans of singer Taylor Swift, are taking to Twitter to demand that the NFL ban artificial turf. The movement began after Swift's rumored boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, suffered an ankle injury on the artificial turf at Arrowhead Stadium during a game on September 24, 2023.

Swifties are using the hashtag #BanTurf to share their stories of injuries that they or their loved ones have sustained on artificial turf. They are also pointing out that artificial turf is not only dangerous for players, but it is also bad for the environment.

Many NFL players have also spoken out in favor of banning artificial turf. In 2021, a group of players filed a lawsuit against the NFL, alleging that the league is putting players at risk by forcing them to play on artificial turf.

The NFL has not yet announced any plans to ban artificial turf, but the pressure from Swifties and other fans is growing. It remains to be seen whether the league will ultimately decide to make the switch to natural grass.

The Swifties' campaign to ban artificial turf is an example of how fans can use their voices to make a difference. By speaking out about the dangers of artificial turf, Swifties are raising awareness of the issue and putting pressure on the NFL to take action.
