If you don’t believe in Dolly… you’re good as gone to her. The country mega star recently celebrated the 40th grand opening of Dollywood in March, and in addition to talking with the crowd at the show and also participating in the Dollywood parade, Dolly Parton did quite a bit of media. It was in the immediate wake of the loss of her husband, Carl Dean. But possibly the most important advice she gave during all the interviews came from her conversation with Forbes, where she spoke about the pushback she received when she wanted to start Dollywood in 1986, and her accountants and lawyers told her it would be a huge mistake. Well, she fired them all, replaced them with others who saw her vision, and the rest, as they say, is history: “When I first had the big idea to start Dollywood, my accountants and lawyers all thought I was making a big mistake. But I felt a calling to do this. So I got rid of all of them and brought in people who had faith in me. I told them, ‘You need to listen to what my dreams are. I don’t need to dream your dreams; you need to help me carry out mine.’” She says it ultimately worked out for her: “I was found out to be right, and they were found out to be gone.” While the park now has over 3.5 million visitors a year, it’s not like Dolly has never failed at something, though sometimes it does seem that way… She recalled her variety show, Dolly, which aired on TV and featured guests like Merle Haggard, Bruce Willis and tons of other big names and celebrities. She became the highest paid variety show host in history, but it ultimately flopped, which is honestly hard for me to imagine, but it is true. She couldn’t make it work, and butted heads with some of the powers that be about how it would be run: “I wanted to do a variety show, not the old kind, but my version of it, my personality, things that would touch the all-American people. But everyone kept trying to bring back the old format through me. They all pushed and shoved until I got so frustrated I just said, ‘Oh hell, let’s try it your way.’” She still got paid all of the money, but after the show was canceled in its first season, she still says she would’ve rather had the show be a huge hit than make any money from it: “Looking back, I still would rather have had the show be a hit than have that money.” Dolly has learned to trust her gut and go on feeling, which has clearly lent itself to be a great strategy, and she’s still doing great business deals to this day. “It’s been a long time, but now I know to go by what I feel. I’d rather do without it than do it wrong. I think it’s amazing what’s happened through the years. If you live long enough with a good reputation, you can build your brand, and people know they can trust that. I take a lot of pride in that.” And if your brand is being Dolly Parton, then it’s as sterling and blemish-free as a human’s can pretty much be. During that same trip to Dollywood, she thanked fans for all their love and support, saying how much she will love and miss her husband: @dollymoments♬ original sound – Dolly Moments The post Dolly Parton Fired All Of Her Accountants & Lawyers When She Started Dollywood: “Brought In People Who Had Faith In Me” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

That’s one way to make an entrance. There is nothing like making your way to the stage in style; fans love a good walk out. We’ve seen it with how popular Morgan Wallen’s walk out moments have become. It’s now a cultural phenomenon as he invites famous folks from all walks of life to join him on his journey from the green room to the stage, not unlike a UFC fighter making their grand entrance. However, Tyler Childers might be giving Wallen a run for his money for most legendary walk outs after his show in Oklahoma City last night. Childers typically does not show himself backstage when he comes out to the front, but last night, he decided to switch it up, giving fans a show before the show. So what made this entrance different than others? He had a noble steed to ride in on. I mean, it’s only fitting to come in on a horse in Oklahoma, right? Well… a horse of sorts. Tyler Childers made a grand entrance on a ride on a children’s horse. Yes, folks, the one where you push down on the “stirrups,” making the horse’s legs, which are on wheels, move in and out to propel you forward. A concert attendee who captured the moment for social media shared that he was not expecting Childers to come out on a “horse-cycle,” getting a kick out of the moment. In the video, Childers looks smitten as he sits on top of a white and pink “unicorn” pony being escorted to the stage by his security, who ride behind him on brown and bay horses. This moment might top his monologues about the fans you meet during his shows. Check it out. @rockykruegermusic I was not expecting Tyler Childers on a “Horsecycle” #tylerchilders #tylerchildersmusic #tylerchildersconcert #okc #oklahomacity ♬ original sound – Rocky Krueger One commenter on the post even liked it more than the star-studded entrances that Morgan Wallen does. See, I wasn’t kidding when I said he was giving Wallen a run for his money. “10x better than Morgan Wallen’s entrance” There must be a handful of these ride-on horses backstage in Oklahoma City because this is not the first time we have seen an artist riding on one before hitting the stage. Before opening up for Alan Jackson at Paycom Center, Megan Moroney shared a video of herself riding a pony freaking out she was about to open for for the living legend. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Whiskey Riff (@whiskeyriff) I think it needs to be a requirement that anyone who plays at the Paycom Center must have footage of themselves on these horses. I personally love Childers’ usage of the children’s toy, and I am sure it got fans hyped up to sing along with him throughout the night. And per usual, he put on one helluva show.
