The Grand Ole Opry has issued an apology for Elle King's use of inappropriate language during a Dolly Parton tribute performance. The singer appeared to be intoxicated during the event.
On January 19, the Grand Ole Opry held a birthday celebration for Dolly Parton at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Although Dolly Parton herself was not there, other musicians performed her songs as a tribute. However, singer-songwriter Elle King disrupted the performance by appearing on stage visibly intoxicated. At one point, she even confessed to being drunk and forgot the lyrics to Dolly Parton's songs during her set.
The following day, the Opry expressed a casual apology to a concertgoer on X (previously known as Twitter).
The official Grand Ole Opry account expressed sincere regret and apologized for the inappropriate language used during the second Opry performance last night. They responded to a fan who expressed disappointment on Twitter, stating that Elle King's performance was ruined due to her being intoxicated and using profanity.
Hello Judas, we want to express our sincere remorse and offer our apologies for the inappropriate language that was used during last night's second Opry performance.
Rolling Stone reached out to the Grand Ole Opry and Elle King for comment, but representatives from both parties have not responded yet.
Several country music artists, including Lauren Alaina, Terri Clark, Tigirlily Gold, Ashley Monroe, Dailey and Vincent, were selected to perform at a special Friday night event. The event took place at the Ryman Auditorium and was broadcast live on 650 AM WSM, instead of the usual venue, the Opry House. However, Lauren Alaina withdrew from the performance before it even started.
After engaging in a brief conversation with some individuals seated near the stage, King addressed the audience, adding, "There's something else I want to share with you all." She introduced herself as Elle King, but also admitted to being heavily intoxicated. A reliable source informed Rolling Stone that WSM, the radio station, had received complaints from its listeners, although the exact number of complaints remains undisclosed.
On TikTok, there are videos showing King's bandmates trying to salvage the performance by suggesting that she play one of her own songs instead. King responded by saying that she can barely play another person's song and will try playing one of her own. Just moments before, she struggled through singing Dolly Parton's "Marry Me," admitting that she didn't know the lyrics and asking not to tell Dolly since it was her birthday.

The hashtags used include elleking, grandoleopry, nashville, countrymusic, dollyparton, tributeshow, countrymusictiktoks, cancelled, dollyfam, dolly, drunk. The video features the sound effect "Oh No No No Laugh."
Additionally, King informed fans that their attempt to obtain a refund would not be fruitful. When someone mentioned that they wouldn't even want their money back, she responded assertively by saying, "That's fine, because you won't be receiving it."
The singer was shocked that anyone would have actually paid to attend the event and expressed her disbelief by saying, "Wow. I can't believe it. Did you all really buy tickets for this?" A portion of the ticket sales, specifically five dollars, went towards the Opry Trust Fund as a tribute to Dolly Parton. This fund has been providing assistance to members of the music community in need for over five decades.
