**Over 50,000 Sign Petition to Rename Nashville Airport After Dolly Parton**
In a show of support that is music to her fans’ ears, a petition to rename Nashville International Airport after country music icon Dolly Parton has garnered an astonishing 50,000 signatures and counting. The campaign, spearheaded by two local creatives, seeks to honor Parton’s indelible mark on music and her hometown of Sevier County, Tennessee, which is just a short drive from Nashville.
The petition, which was launched just a few weeks ago, has been gaining momentum rapidly, with fans and supporters from all over the country rallying behind the idea. The petition’s creators, who wish to remain anonymous, stated that they were inspired by Parton’s tireless philanthropy, her contributions to music, and her unwavering commitment to her home state of Tennessee.
“Dolly Parton is a shining star in the music industry, and her impact on Nashville and beyond cannot be overstated,” reads the petition. “By renaming our city’s airport after her, we would be paying tribute to her legacy and cementing her place in American cultural history.”
The petition has sparked a lively debate on social media, with many residents and visitors to Nashville expressing their support for the idea. “Dolly Parton is a Nashville icon, and it would be a fitting tribute to name the airport after her,” wrote one supporter on Twitter. “She’s a true legend and a symbol of Tennessee’s rich music heritage.”
While some have expressed concerns about the logistics of renaming the airport, the petition’s organizers remain optimistic that their campaign will succeed. “We’re thrilled by the response so far, and we’re confident that we can make this happen,” said one of the petitioners. “Dolly Parton deserves this honor, and we’re excited to see it become a reality.”
The Nashville airport, currently officially known as Nashville International Airport (BNA), is a major hub for travelers and a key economic driver for the region. If the petition is successful, it would be a unique and fitting tribute to one of Tennessee’s most beloved daughters.
As the campaign continues to gain momentum, fans and supporters are encouraged to add their signatures to the petition and share their support on social media using the hashtag #DollyPartonForNashvilleAirport. With 50,000 signatures and counting, it’s clear that this is a movement that won’t be ignored.
