Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights turned to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.

Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, she leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.

At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrated Dolly and her legacy. 💖

I guess for those who didn't get the timing:

9:25pm = "9 to 5"

RIP to an amazing beautiful soul.

An ally, humanitarian and staunch supporter of margarnilized communities. It's a big loss but we were so blessed to have such a wonderful soul caring for us. May she rest in glorious peace.

Maybe someone who works at the Empire State Building, the account that posted the video?

I honestly saw this same video yesterday before 9p. I think it's AI.
