9 to 5 to make up for this mistake. Singer Elle King found herself in some hot water for slurring her words during a performance to celebrate Dolly Parton’s 78th birthday at Nashville, Tennessee’s Grand Ole Opry on Friday. “Elle King ruined the night with her horrible, drunk, and profane performance,” one fan wrote in a scathing post on X (formerly Twitter). “Dolly Parton would’ve been mortified.”“For our first time at The Opry, it was a shame we all had to witness that,” the user continued.

The venue replied to the tweet, stating: “We deeply regret and apologize for the language that was used during last night’s second Opry performance.” “It was such a disappointment to spend $300 on tickets for a show where one of the artists ruined an entire night,” the user replied. “I mean it’s The Opry, the greatest country venue in the world.

That performance was like lackluster karaoke performer wasted out of their minds. Awful.”The Post reached out to the singer for comment.King, 34, has yet to apologize for the incident.In a video uploaded to TikTok, King, 34, admitted that she did not know the words to Parton’s 2001 hit “Marry Me.” “I don’t know the lyrics to these things in this f – – king town,” King sang, before adding: “Don’t tell Dolly ‘cause it’s her birthday.”The singer, who is also the daughter of actors Rob Schneider and London King, then began to antagonize fans who mocked her performance. “You spent money for this s – – t,” King slurred.
