It’s hard to believe that anyone out there isn’t a fan of Dolly Parton. Dolly’s decorated career, which has spanned practically her entire life, has been widely celebrated recently. She was honored at the 2019 Grammy Awards with a tribute that she also performed in. She was also chosen as the 2019 Person of the Year by MusiCares, the charity of The Recording Academy. A musical in her honor, 9 to 5: The Musical, is even premiering on the West End. It was while discussing the musical that Dolly mentioned ever-so-casually that her husband of over 5 decades, Carl Thomas Dean, is not actually a fan of her music.
Say what now?
According to People, Dolly revealed during a Good Morning Britain appearance that Carl has only seen her perform a handful of times. The reason? It makes him nervous to see her on stage.
“He felt like he’d get nervous if I messed up and all that. He’s not necessarily one of my biggest fans [of] my music,” Dolly explained.
Carl is apparently more of a “hard rock and Led Zeppelin and bluegrass music” fan, but that’s not the only way he differs from his wife. He’s also a very guarded, private person. He rarely makes public appearances with his larger-than-life wife.
Dolly made sure to emphasize that although her music isn’t Carl’s cup of tea, he’s still very supportive of her career.
“He doesn’t dislike it, [but] he doesn’t go out of his way to play my records, let’s put it that way,” she explained. And it certainly hasn’t stopped the couple from enjoying a blissful 53 years together!
