Sorry! Dolly Parton Never Sends Texts.

In a digital age where texting has become the norm, legendary country singer Dolly Parton stands out as a self-proclaimed “low-tech girl in a high-tech world.”

The 77-year-old music icon recently shared on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ that she refuses to send text messages, emphasizing her desire to avoid the constant influx of communication.

Parton explained, “I always say I’m a low-tech girl in a high-tech world, but I surround myself with all these people who are into this high-tech world. I don’t want to talk to everybody who wants to talk to me. I don’t text because I don’t want to have to answer.”

The iconic singer, known for hits like “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” values a more selective and intentional approach to communication. “If somebody calls me, I’ll answer if I want to talk to them, or I’ll call them back when I can. Otherwise, I got too much to think about to clutter my mind up with everything else. I’m certainly not a stupid person,” she added with a characteristic twinkle in her eye.

Parton’s decision not to embrace texting aligns with her overall approach to technology. While she acknowledges that she could learn it if she wanted to, she prefers the simplicity of her fax machine for communicating creative ideas with her team. “I’d rather just have my fax machine, call in my creative stuff to my crew, and I’ve got the best crew in the world,” she proudly declared.

Beyond her tech choices, Dolly Parton has also been known for her apolitical stance throughout her illustrious career. In a previous revelation, she shared her aversion to politics, stating that she “hates” the subject. The award-winning star fears alienating a portion of her diverse fan base by making explicit political statements.

Parton’s approach reflects a conscious effort to keep her art and music a unifying force. “I don’t want to make a statement that’s going to offend someone just because of their political views. I’m an entertainer. I want to entertain. I don’t want to say, ‘Well, if you’re not this, you can’t be in my fan club.'”

In a world often marked by division, Dolly Parton remains a beacon of inclusivity and authenticity. Her commitment to simplicity in communication and reluctance to wade into political waters underscore her desire to connect with fans through the universal language of music, transcending the boundaries of technology and ideology. As she continues to navigate a high-tech world, Dolly Parton remains true to herself, embracing a low-tech charm that has endeared her to generations of fans around the globe.
