It’s an undeniable fact that Dolly Parton is America’s sweetheart.
Don’t believe me? Twitter is full of evidence.
First of all, she’s a hilarious meme queen.
Dolly’s able to take any old photo of herself (or even an animated GIF!) and find a way to make people laugh.

In the South this look means “bless your heart,” and that ain’t always a compliment! 😅 pic.twitter.com/Sw5Frwyt4X

She’s also not afraid to poke a little fun at herself.
I’ve been told a few times I should run for President, but I think there are enough boobs in the race already

The magic with me is that I look completely false when I’m completely real!

It’s no wonder she’s got some pretty famous friends.
Like fellow southern gal Reese Witherspoon.
Few people in this world have touched my heart like Dolly. She has been my inspiration all my life. A beautiful spirit. Help me wish @DollyParton Happy Birthday! In honor of this Southern gal, 100% of today’s profits at @draperjames will go to Dolly’s charity, @dollyslibrary! pic.twitter.com/5wdzBUhe8t

Not to mention she’s the (fairy) godmother to the one and only Miley Cyrus.
My Aunt Dolly always told me “if someone shows you their true colors…. believe them.” 🌈🌈🌈

And it’s not all about glitz and glamour. For decades, Dolly has been using her platform to give back to her community.
She’s most well-known for her efforts to support early childhood literacy. In 1995, Dolly launched her Imagination Library, a free book gifting program, to ensure that every child in her Tennessee hometown had the opportunity to grow up in a home with books.
Since then, the organization has gone international. In February 2018, Dolly’s Library donated its 100 millionth book.
Today we dedicate the 100 Millionth @DollysLibrary Book to the @librarycongress! I always like to say that 100 million books have led to 100 million stories. #100MillionBooks https://t.co/KxUJp0nP20 pic.twitter.com/LVhYeTCVGp

Her generosity and passion for children extend far beyond literacy. She recently pledged $1,000,000 to the children’s hospital that successfully treated her niece’s leukemia.

And she even wrote a song to help encourage kids undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
“Chemo Hero” is a very special to me. When my niece was 4 she had leukemia so I wrote this & other songs to encourage her #iBelieveInYou pic.twitter.com/ILpMyfSkt2

She’s also quick to support natural disaster victims — and she encourages others to do the same.

My hometown received so much support after last winter’s wildfires, I want to do my part to help other areas affected by natural disasters. https://t.co/HAz2NN0Ku1

Dolly’s even won two Emmys for her outstanding public service efforts.
I’m honored to be recognized for my work with the Dollywood Foundation & @dollyslibrary and I am so excited to receive my first two Emmy awards for Best Community Service program for the Smoky Mountains Rise telethon & the Governor’s Award For A Lifetime Of Public Service! pic.twitter.com/K2EKLZh0de

But beyond her humor, her A-list friends, and her generous spirit, Dolly is a G*DDAMN inspiration.
Seriously. If you’re in need some motivation (or just general life advice), follow Dolly on Twitter. Let her words wash over you.
I think the saying goes “Big Hair, Don’t Care” and that sounds about right. You shouldn’t care what other people think. Love yourself for who you are. pic.twitter.com/5aUQY2fx6X

It’s not the hair, the lipstick or the rest of it. Your beauty is what’s inside. I hope you let that part shine today and everyday! 🦋 pic.twitter.com/iyeutdV2lX

Here’s to you, Dolly. And here’s to many more years of making us smile.
