**BREAKING: Dolly Parton Airport Mania Sweeps the Nation as 51,000 Demand Tribute to Queen of Country**
In a shocking display of devotion to the one and only Dolly Parton, a petition to rename a major airport in her honor has garnered a staggering 51,000 signatures in just a matter of weeks. The petition, started by a group of self-proclaimed “Dolly fanatics,” is calling for the renaming of Nashville International Airport to “Dolly Parton International Airport” in recognition of the country music icon’s immense contributions to the world of entertainment.
According to sources, the petition’s creators were inspired by Dolly’s recent donation of 8,000 books to the Imagination Library, which sparked a grassroots movement to honor her philanthropic efforts. “We just wanted to do something to show our appreciation for all that Dolly has done for music, literacy, and basically being awesome,” said petition leader, Jenny Johnson. “And what’s more awesome than renaming an airport after her?”
The petition has gained widespread attention on social media, with fans sharing their own reasons for supporting the cause. “Dolly Parton is the reason I learned to play the banjo, sing like a canary, and wear big hair,” tweeted @DollyDieHard. “Renaming the airport after her is the least we can do!”
As the petition continues to gain momentum, officials are taking notice. “We’re thrilled to see such enthusiasm for this idea,” said a spokesperson for the airport authority. “While we can’t make any promises, we’re definitely open to exploring the possibility of renaming the airport after the one and only Dolly Parton.”
In related news, Dolly Parton’s team has released a statement saying that while they’re “flattered” by the petition, they’re also “a little concerned” about the potential for Dolly-themed airport attractions to become a distraction. “We just want to make sure that if the airport is renamed, it’s not just a gimmick,” said a spokesperson for Dolly’s team. “We want to make sure it’s a tribute that truly reflects her values and contributions to music and society.”
The world waits with bated breath as this story continues to unfold. Will Dolly Parton International Airport become a reality? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – Dolly Parton is already the queen of our hearts.
