Just two weeks after the death of her husband, Carl Dean, Dolly Patron was all smiles at the opening day of her theme park, Dollywood, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Fans cheered as Dolly paraded into the park in a horse-drawn carriage. Among the biggest cheers came from one of Dolly’s smallest fans. Jordan April Ramey caught her 8-year-old son’s reaction to Dolly appearing at the park, and so did the country queen. As the boy repeatedly screamed, “Oh my God,” Dolly pointed right at him and smiled. It was truly a dream come true.

This Kid Adores Dolly Parton
His parents clearly didn’t drag him along to see one of their idols, this boy loves Dolly Parton. He could hardly contain himself when the person recording said, “Who was that?”
“Dolly!” he screamed in utter disbelief that Dolly waved right at him.
The moment went viral, which is no surprise. You don’t hear a bad word about Dolly Parton and seeing her interact with a young fan in such a sweet way just goes to show there’s a reason why everyone loves her. She genuinely finds joy in her fans. Maybe just as much joy as she brings them.
The moment caught the attention of many big brands, including Barbie, who wrote, “Same buddy…… same.”
And Spotify, “Honestly, everyone should be matching his energy. It’s DOLLY PARTON!!!”
This person joked, “what’s important is that he stayed completely calm.”
And plenty of fans would have done exactly what the kid did. Like this person, “Me to bubba that’s the ONLY way to react to our Queen Dolly.”
We think this person has it exactly right, “I bet he brought Miss Dolly so much joy, lord knows she needs it these days.”
And this one, “If Dolly Parton acknowledged my existence you best believe I’d be screaming too.”
