Dolly Parton Surprise Guest at Newport Folk Festival, Crowd Goes WILD, July 27, 2019 

Dolly is so hard to describe. She's little but she's huge. She's tacky but she's pure. She's simple but she's smart. She's humble but she's proud. God love her.

Don’t blink. You won’t find a better ambassador of the human race. Thank you Dolly!

Only the finest of Appalachian folk voices. The respect she shows for the younger artists is great to see.

I’ve never considered myself a c&w music fan but I love Dolly Parton, think the world of her and amazed how good she sounds and looks after all these years. Her self deprecating manner and she presents herself a humble and warm hearted. A national treasure in every way.

This lady is one of the greatest artists of ALL Time. She really walks in the light. The Orville and this too. What a blessing. Thank you so much for posting this surprise.

"It takes a lot of money to look this cheap." Dolly Parton. Always ready with a little self deprecating humor, on top of EVERYTHING else. And I'm not a country music fan, but everyone loves Dolly.

Dolly is the best of us , humbling us all with her grace

Dolly is nothing short of a national treasure. Not only is she a colossal talent, she's simply one of the best, kindest, most big-hearted people in the world. I worship her.

Her voice is still so sweet and powerful. Amazing.

I love how talent finds other talent even if they are different.

Dolly Parton is a USAmerican treasure. What a class act. This was wonderful!

Dolly is always genuine and gracious. Entertainers today can learn a lot from her.

Dolly’s phenomenal singing and songwriting talent is undeniable, but I think it is her generosity of spirit that endears her to so many across the globe. She is adored by those who normally can’t stand rhinestones and big hair as much as those who love that type of style. Dolly crosses all boundaries with her intelligence, warmth, kindness and humility. She is an example to us all, I think.

She’s tearing me up this morning with the lyrics of this song, I’ve never heard before. Tears into my coffee. You know its amazing to me someone could be so glittery and bright be so deep and honest in her delivery.

I'm so glad Dolly surprised everyone. They all have wonderful voices sounds like the voices of angels singing

Omg 73 what an inspiration to all women around the world. Gooooo Dolly. Stay safe

Dolly is proof that it is possible to become an icon while remaining true to oneself, staying genuine and humble, having confidence in one’s talent, and never treating others unkindly. She has, without fail, been supportive of other artists/ her competition. She is a brilliant businesswoman who never bemoaned the cost of celebrity. And the job base she created in Her hometown area is phenomenal. And when you think you can’t admire her more, remember that she has personally caused tens of millions of children’s books to be given to countless children around the world through her imagination library. Yes, it’s a carefully crafted and guarded public persona that she maintains, allowing her private life to be private, but who can blame her? She’s totally candid with what she chooses to share and doesn’t share what she feels is nobody’s business. That’s called class. She exemplifies how to share one’s talent and use the results to spread love in the world. An incredible role model for everyone, male and female, young and old. One of the top three people I’d give an eye to spend a day with getting to know.

"She is an eagle when she flies". This is the song my heart has been searching for. I first heard Dolly's songs when I was in Kenya. It was around 1994. Good humans like Dolly inspire others to keep on loving life.

Dolly is a Tennessee and National Treasure. I think in the early eighties Barbara Walters interviewed Dolly and Barbara said Dolly may be the smartest woman she ever met. Faithful to her husband who stayed out of the Limelight. She said her favorite thing to do is ride in their RV. Dolly says she loves waving at people when they ride down the road. She is a lady that kept her famous life mostly private and loves the simple things life has to offer. What a singer. Writer , performer and mostly a God loving woman. She is bigger than a Legend.

I love how quiet the crowd gets when Dolly starts to sing.

I love Dolly Parton! She has always seemed to be a genuinely nice person. Amazingly talented! She is a national treasure.

I just love her!! A true national treasure! We must protect her at all cost!

“She’s a sparrow when she’s broken She’s an Eagle when she flies.” Brilliant, Dolly. That is my new tattoo.❤️

The fact that she showed up for you is exactly why we love Dolly for more than her music. 🥰

As usual Dolly comes out and lights up the world! and still sounds amazing too!

She’s a gift to humanity

Wow! When is Dolly NOT fantastic? It seems that she never has an "off" day. She is a national treasure.

I grew up listening to Dolly. She is just pure talent and joy.

I worked at Dollywood for 3 years and we took pictures with Dolly every year. I am short, too, so I always wound up in the front row with Dolly. She's a sweetheart!

The wagon wheel Nudie suit makes for a beautiful book-end effect to compliment her early days on tv with Porter Wagoner, who always wore Nudie suits. What a classy and elegant tribute. Beautiful lady!

wow at 73 still a songbird dolly parton she is the living legend still pretty looking fabolous

Oh, Amy! What an amazing gift. Thanks for capturing and sharing it with us!

I'm a longtime Brandi Carlile fan, and to watch her introduce one of her idols and see her sincere excitement gave me all the goosebumps. And oh Dolly, you've still got it. ❤️

If only we could bottle up that "Dolly happiness, kindness, and overall generosity " in a jar and sell it, this world would certainly be a much better place!!!! 🍾

Her voice just like her days in 20s, your a true legend, love you Dolly

A true American legend and gem. I've been a fan of hers since I was 4 years old and I just turned 47. Wish I was at the Newport Folk Festival for this.

Dolly loved by all and always has a kind word for all. Truly a Class Act. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Her rendition of Johnny comes marching home sends chills down my back

If you don’t love Dolly Parton......something’s wrong with you!

I met dolly Parton at my dentists office in Nashville. She is just like you imagine and hope she would be. Sweet as can be!!

Ok but can we take a moment to wrap our heads around the fact that she sounds exactly the same after 50 years of singing? Seriously.

I love the throwback to the Porter Waggoner Jacket. Dolly does no wrong.

I can just imagine seeing the Highwomen and wondering "How could this ever get any better?" And then they answer that question by bringing Dolly Parton out. If you bought a Newport Folk Festival ticket this year, you hit the lottery.

She's truly amazing.

Dolly Parton the sounds of your voice is so precious, real and natural. Love from Kenya😘

Incomparable, the great Dolly.

As surprises go, that's pretty huge. How amazing to be that close up to a true music legend.

Dolly's still got it!! She is absolutely one of the greatest all-around talents and just precious!!

I hope everyone is able to see how incredible Dolly is. Living Legend.

I would love to meet Dolly Pardon in person when I was a teenager I listened to her songs and still do she truly is a amazing beautiful person. God Bless You

Man, she will NEVER lose it. She will always have a tight grip on my heart.

Just love Brandi,she is so cool!

They harmonies SSSOOOOO well.....what real beautiful voices!.....and if sounds this good on you tube it must sound awesome there.....

Love it! So gracious! She models kindness and strength.

Dolly is such a gift to us all

Love Dolly. She is a generous caring and loving woman. It doesn't get any better than this.

When I was young, I remember watching Porter Waggoner and Dolly Parton. Dolly Parton's jacket reminds me of some of Porter's outfits.

Dolly you are my favorite singer😍😍

She popped up at a modest event we had at Dollywood. She is so sweet.

We love you Dolly, don't ever stop!!!!!

when she flies! and she does fly baby, she does fly.... fantastic!!! love you Dolly! that voice still sends shivers down my spine...

My heart is bursting with happiness watching these women. Amazing. 💜

Dolly is such an American treasure! So good, it almost makes it hard not to be jealous of her, but then you remember how gosh darn sweet she is, and ya wouldn't have it any other way. God bless Dolly Parton!

The 16 people who dislike this video do not have blood running through their veins. 🤣

Wow! How much talent can you have on one stage!! Beautiful! Dolly really is just magical! ❤️🙌❤️

At age 73 it’s amazing how wonderful Dolly’s voice still is. If you haven’t seen the Netflix movie “Dumpling” with music by Dolly you should. 💜

Dolly's voice is still gorgeous!

Such a generous performance no showboating just one of the band, lovely to watch.

I think all I would of done was cry if I were there. Love Dolly so much that I'd be speechless if she every crossed my path.

Seeing clips from this concert circulate has been so joyous and beautiful.

I was there for this. What an awesome surprise!!!

Always a delight to see Dolly. Grew up listening to her songs. Love her in Steel Magnolia, one of my fav movies.
