Nashville Airport to be renamed after Dolly Parton? All we know amid online petition
Following Dolly Parton's death at 80, a petition to rename Nashville International Airport in her honor is gaining support.
Following Dolly Parton's death at 80, a petition is gaining momentum to rename Nashville International Airport in her honor. As of Tuesday, the Change.org campaign has collected 54,322 signatures. The organizers, Lydia Popovich and Dan Dion, argue that Parton's extensive contributions to Tennessee and her global cultural impact make her a better choice than President Donald Trump, whom another Tennessee Legislature proposal aimed to honor.
Parton's impact is widely recognized for her musical achievements, including hits like Jolene, 9 to 5, Coat of Many Colors, and I Will Always Love You. She also founded the Imagination Library, a program providing free books to children. Singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow expressed support for the petition on Instagram Live.
