Country music icon Dolly Parton, who celebrated her 79th birthday on Sunday, is beloved not just in the country music world but across the globe. Her birthday has become a cherished occasion, with annual celebrations, including a special tribute at the Grand Ole Opry. As a result, the singer has been a frequent topic of headlines, especially over the weekend.
One such headline raised the question of whether Parton had indeed declined the Presidential Medal of Freedom three times. According to Snopes, the answer is yes. Both President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump extended the prestigious honor to Parton, but on each occasion, she turned it down, citing extenuating circumstances. While she hasn’t publicly detailed all the reasons, her decisions have sparked curiosity among fans and political circles alike.
