On August 25, 2026, Nashville fell quiet with the passing of Dolly Parton at the age of 80 — a woman who did not merely inhabit country music but expanded its very walls. Over six decades, she wove together Appalachian roots and universal longing into a body of work that crossed every boundary the industry tried to place before her. Her death closes a chapter in American cultural life, though the songs she left behind ensure the story is far from over.
