<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">Country music</a> legend <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dolly-parton">Dolly Parton</a> said she’s been offered the chance to perform at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> many times, but so far has always turned it down.
The 77-year-old Tennessee native discussed her reasons during an <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/dolly-parton-interview-new-album-rockstar-superbowl-halftime-show-1235634785/">interview</a> with The Hollywood Reporter that was published Thursday.
“I couldn&#8217;t do it because of other things, or I just didn&#8217;t think I was big enough to do it — to do that big of a production,” Parton told the outlet.
“When you think about those shows, those are big, big productions. I&#8217;ve never done anything with that big of a production,” she added. “I don&#8217;t know if I could have. I think, at the time, that&#8217;s what I was thinking.”
Parton will release her first <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rock-and-roll">rock and roll</a> album, “Rockstar,” on November 17. In light of the genre change, the singer said she’d consider doing a bigger show.
“I might be able to do a production show,” she said of promoting that music.
Parton also said she originally turned down an invitation to be part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
“They&#8217;re going to put me in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and somebody like Meat Loaf or some of these other great artists never even made it? I didn&#8217;t want to take away from somebody that has spent their life in that world like I had spent mine in country [music],” the 10 time Grammy winner said of getting the invite.

Eventually, she agreed to accept the honor after taking a closer look and who else was part of it.
“They told me all the ways that people’s music has influenced other people around the world … and told me about other people that were in it besides rock. Then I accepted it,” Parton told the outlet.
“But I still didn’t feel great about it. I still thought I needed to earn it,” she continued. “That’s why I thought, ‘Well, timing is perfect. There’s a real reason for me to do this rock ’n’ roll album. Here I am a rock star at 77.’”
“Rockstar” will feature 30 rock classics and original songs, including collaborations with Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Sting, Joan Jett, Kid Rock, Emmylou Harris, Ringo Starr, Steven Tyler, Melissa Etheridge, and others.
