During Dollywood’s 40th anniversary celebration on March 14, 2025, an 8-year-old boy named Owen experienced an unforgettable moment when he saw Dolly Parton in person for the first time. As Parton passed by in a flower-adorned carriage, Owen’s excitement was palpable—he waved a pink pom-pom, repeatedly exclaimed “Oh my God,” and covered his face in disbelief.

Parton noticed the young fan, pointed at him, and laughed, creating a heartwarming interaction that was captured on video by Owen’s family. The footage quickly went viral, amassing over 6 million views on TikTok and garnering widespread attention .([People.com][1], [Country Now][2])

In a subsequent interview on the Today show, Parton was shown the viral video and reacted with laughter and emotion. She recalled the moment vividly, saying, “I remember him in the parade. I was thinking, ‘Honey, are you going to have a heart attack and die right here in front of everybody?’” Parton expressed a desire to “get off that cart and run down and just squeeze him” . She also shared that the overwhelming love from fans that day brought her to tears, especially poignant as it was shortly after the passing of her husband, Carl Dean.

Parton admitted to “boo-hooing” in her van post-parade, overwhelmed by the affection and support from her fans .

 

This touching encounter between Dolly Parton and young Owen not only highlighted the deep connection between artists and their fans but also served as a testament to the enduring impact of genuine human interactions.

THE STADIUM ERUPTS THE MOMENT CELINE DION SINGS — but it isn’t just the roar of thousands that hits you.
