The official answer is 79 years old. But the real answer? She’s timeless.
She’s the age of pure joy. The age of rhinestones and courage. The age of “workin’ 9 to 5” but also “shine on.”
So next time someone asks, just smile and say, “She’s 79, but she’s been 37 since 1983.”
And then go listen to “Jolene.” It’s the only appropriate response. Cheers, Dolly. You’re the best 79-year-old we’ve ever seen.
