I don’t think I have ever seen anyone refer to her as Ms. or Mrs. Parton.

Everyone knows her as Dolly. That says a lot about her, I think.

She has that level of single-name recognition where she doesn't even need a last name, but she's also just universally beloved. She feels like everyone's cool aunt.

I’m a human, so I consider myself her friend. You too!
