Taylor Swift:

“A world without Dolly doesn’t feel possible, real, or right. But because of the eternally generous way she spent her time on this earth and the countless lives she changed for the better, her legacy will be an everlasting one. Dolly gave us someone to look up to while encouraging us to be who we are as individuals,” Swift said in statement, adding the late Country icon imparted “lessons about the world gently and honestly, simultaneously, and oftentimes hilariously.” “She managed to give the world the ultimate mystery and fantasy in some corners of her life, but to give full transparency in the ways that counted. Somehow she was true grace and true grit, all in one dazzling person. She possessed the softest heart when it came to the struggles of others, and a backbone of steel to defend her own self worth as an artist. Along with her other fans, I am so grateful for all of it. For the melodies and lyrics she wrote that thawed even the coldest hearts. For the millions of books she provided children all over the world so that they might fall in love with stories the way she did. For the tightropes she walked so that young girls like me could grow up dreaming of joining the circus too.”

Mariah Carey:

“Rest in Peace Dolly, one of the most brilliant, iconic, and prolific artists of all time,” Mariah wrote. “Your kindness and generosity will never be forgotten. I will always love you.”

Celine Dion:

“We will now be missing one of the most joyful voices this world has ever known,” the superstar said – referring to Dolly as “pure light.” “Thank you for the music, the laughter, and the love you gave us all. We will always love you. Rest in peace, Dolly.”
