If seeing Dolly Parton in concert is on your bucket list, you better get on it. In an interview with “Pollstar”, she said she won’t be doing full tours anymore. She’s NOT retiring, but she is slowing down. She’ll still do shows here and there, but now that she and her husband are “getting older” she wants to stay close to home. She’s still recording that rock album, so they asked if she has any “dream duet partners”. She’s planning to ask Ed Sheeran, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, her goddaughter Miley Cyrus, and Chris Stapleton.

Thomas Rhett says one of his favorite parts of touring is trying wild new foods on the road, which sounds adventurous and expensive. Meanwhile Dylan Scott keeps it a little more backyard chaos at home, admitting he’ll wander into the kitchen at midnight and cook a full meal like it’s noon. His wife wakes up confused; he’s making dinner round two. That’s not a snack, that’s a second shift.
