We LOVE Dolly Parton! She’s talented, and sweet, and generous and knows how to take time for her fans. Recently Dolly met one of her biggest fans, Gage Blackwell, who she called “Gage Rogers” because she thinks the young boy with Down Syndrome kept up with her just as good as Kenny ever did.
In the videos with the young fan, Dolly sings with him, tells jokes and stories with him, and Gage thought it was the best thing EVER! He even tweeted “I love Dolly and I want to marry her!!!!”
