Dolly Parton Has A Huge Announcement About The ACM Awards

It has been a busy few weeks for country legend Dolly Parton. On Feb. 2, 2022, it was announced that she was nominated to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in May 2022, according to NPR. 

On the same day, it was revealed that the upcoming documentary, "Still Working 9 to 5," based upon the movie "9 to 5," would be premiering at the South by Southwest Film Festival in March, according to Variety. The 1980 movie, which starred Parton, empowered women to take up more space in the American workforce. 

Parton will be making an appearance (or two) in the documentary, which will feature a brand new version of Parton's "9 to 5" song, recorded by Parton and Kelly Clarkson, along with other interviews with the film's stars, like Lily Tomlin, to discuss the legacy of "9 to 5."

Recently, Parton also announced that she would be releasing a new album, "Run, Rose, Run," to accompany a novel of the same name that she wrote with author James Patterson, which is set to be released in March 2022. 

"The album mirrors the story of a young woman who leaves home for Nashville, TN to pursue her music-making dreams and the dark secret from her past that threatens it all," reads an official description of the book, according to NME.

On Feb. 3, it was revealed that Parton will also be taking on another high-profile project in the coming months.
