Dolly Parton has told Tennessee lawmakers that actually, no, she doesn't want a statue of her erected at the Tennessee Capitol.
Earlier this year, a Tennessee representative proposed the statue idea to honor Parton for her contributions to the state.
Fittingly, the statue would have faced Ryman Auditorium, a venue which, throughout her career, has become "something of a second home" for Parton.
But Dolly said no.
"I am honored and humbled by their intention but I have asked the leaders of the state legislature to remove the bill from any and all consideration," she tweeted.
"Given all that's going on in the world, I don't think putting me on a pedestal is appropriate at this time."
