Dolly Adds ‘Blue Smoke’ Dates In The USA

Dolly Parton wants to make sure her American fans know she didn’t forget about them. She’s added another round of U.S. dates to her “Blue Smoke World Tour,” as well as additional performances in Australia and New Zealand.  

“You didn’t think I forgot about you, did you?” Dolly wrote in an announcement sent out today (complete with a happy face). “It’s always great to perform at home in the good ol’ USA. We’re kicking off our Blue Smoke World Tour right here at home. I love traveling all over the world; but it’s true, there’s nothing like home! I can’t wait to see you soon, America!”
