Dolly Parton, 74, declares she’s ‘always in glam’ even when confined to home in COVID-19 quarantine

Legendary country crooner Dolly Parton isn’t letting the COVID-19 quarantine keep her from being every bit the glamorous ‘Backwoods Barbie’ while confined to her Nashville mansion.

‘I’m always in glam!’ the 74-year-old national treasure declared to People on Thursday.

‘I always say that the only way I’d be caught without makeup is if a radio fell into the bathtub and electrocuted me.’  

The nine-time Grammy winner applies her own make-up, but she has her lifelong wig master Cheryl Riddle to keep her supplied with blonde hair and lifelong creative director Steve Summers to design her costumes.

‘[I’m] following all the social distancing rules, living on faith. I’m still working like always, trying to bring some light anywhere that I can,’ Dolly told the mag.

‘God is looking out for us. We will come out on the other side of this, and we’re all going to be better people for it. Take care of each other from afar and continue to send love to your friends, family, and everyone suffering.’

To help bring cheer to folks feeling low, Parton just curated an ‘At Home Together’ playlist on Spotify, which features 46 songs – 16 of which are her own.  

Some of the more surprising artists on the Tennessee-born beauty’s playlist include Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Avril Lavigne, Céline Dion, Journey, and the late Avicii.

However, the Heartstrings producer-star – who’s released 50 studio albums and 3K songs – neglected to include her goddaughter Miley Cyrus.

On Thursday, Dolly read Floyd Cooper’s 2013 children’s book Max and the Tag-Along Moon as part of Imagination Library’s free 10-week series for stir-crazy kids being homeschooled amid the coronavirus crisis.

Parton also gave back by donating $1M toward researching the fast-spreading respiratory illness at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville back on April 1.
