In a touching show of empathy and compassion, Dolly Parton is extending her heartfelt support to Kelly Clarkson as she navigates the grief of losing her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. Having recently experienced the profound loss of her own husband, Dolly deeply understands the pain that comes with such a moment and is reaching out with words of comfort.

Dolly encourages Kelly to hold tightly to the joyful memories she and Brandon shared, reminding her that those moments can be a lasting source of peace and healing. She also urges both Kelly and Reba McEntire, who was previously married to Brandon’s father, Narvel Blackstock, to find solace in honoring the legacies of their loved ones.

Although Dolly is currently immersed in promoting her new memoir, she has expressed her intention to personally reach out to Kelly to offer her sincere condolences and emotional support during this difficult time. How can you not love Dolly Parton!
