That’s right, Dolly is rolling out the pink carpet for some fuzzy, four-legged friends that will be sporting the finest of fashion from Dolly’s Doggy Parton pet accessory and clothing collection to pieces inspired by some of Dolly’s most iconic looks.
“I have hosted or co-hosted many shows throughout my career, but I have never been more excited about co-hosting a show than I am about being part of this pet gala,” Parton shared in a statement. “I love animals. I’ve got all kinds, and of course, I’ve always had little dogs around, and big ones! We’re going to have some of all kinds and colors on the show, and there is nothing more fun to me than when little animals do what they do best, and I’m looking forward to it!”
The party starts February 21 at 9PM ET on CBS and Paramount+ and is expected to attract a superstar crowd including Iain Armitage, Drew Barrymore, Kristen Bell, Kristin Chenoweth, Margaret Cho, Neil Patrick Harris, Carson Kressley, Jim Nantz, and Jessica Simpson. Additionally, Jane Lynch will join Parton as co-host alongside runway correspondents Kelly Osbourne and Rachel Smith.
And of course, what’s a Dolly event without music? Adding to the festivities, Parton is set to perform a number of her classics including “9 to 5,” “I Will Always Love You,” “Puppy Love,” and “Jolene,” with assistance from Lainey Wilson, Carly Pearce, Chris Janson, and KC of the Sunshine Band.
“There is so much fun stuff,” Parton added. “And I know all the animal lovers out there are going to love this show.”
