  "account": "Britney Spears took her two adult sons, Jayden and Preston, on a vacation to Dollywood, a theme park in Tennessee, and shared her excitement on Instagram. In a caption, the 44-year-old singer expressed that she had never heard of the place before, calling it \"incredibly cool and exciting.\" She wore a blue skirt, flip-flops, and a red-and-white striped shirt, while the boys donned baggy jeans and white T-shirts. Britney enjoyed some family fun, including riding rides and squealing with Jayden, while expressing her discomfort at being \"extremely hot\" and her skirt being too large. She also shared a sped-up video of her riding a ride, her voice echoing \"Jayden, I feel kinda sick now, what if I throw up? What if I s–t on myself? I’m gettin’ old, ya know?\" Dolly Parton, the founder of Dollywood, passed away in August at 80 following a battle with cancer. The park, which opened earlier this year, has vowed to carry on her legacy, celebrating her warmth, wisdom, and generous spirit.",
