Dolly Parton is a national treasure.
I’m convinced that Dolly is one of the few people left in this world who is universally beloved. And for good reason: Not only does she have an incredible career that includes 25 #1 hits (the most by a female artist on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart) but the Tennessee native is known as much for her philanthropy in her community as she is for her music.
Of course there’s one other thing that Dolly’s known for…well, two things.
Dolly is of course widely recognized for her large chest. And she’s pretty proud of it.
The Queen of Country Music reportedly revealed back in 2003 that she spent an incredible $1 million on her boob job:
“I just paid a million dollars for them, and I hope they look like a million dollars, too!”
And after spending a million dollars on them, it’s no wonder she wants to show them off. When asked if she’s ever slapped anybody for looking at her breasts, Dolly joked:
“I’ve slapped a few people who didn’t stare at them! This kind of money, they’d better be looking at them.”
Of course Dolly’s been open about her plastic surgery in the past, joking that it “takes a lot of money to look this cheap” and revealing that she grew up wanting to look like the town tramp:

But she admits that her look and her plastic surgery were all about feeling better about herself:
“I created my own look to build my confidence because very few people are born beautiful, with natural beauty, and I certainly am not one…
I did whatever I needed to build my confidence, and when people don’t believe I had plastic surgery, I say, ‘Yeah, I don’t look old, but I have aged my plastic surgeons.’ But I do it because it makes me feel better about myself.”
And with how she looks at 77 years old, I think it’s safe to say that Dolly has plenty to feel good about.
