Country musician Elle King is hoping to clear the air with regard to her widely panned, seemingly drunk tribute to Dolly Parton.
King, a four-time Grammy nominee, drew backlash in January when she appeared inebriated while performing at a star-studded Grand Ole Opry concert honoring Parton’s 78th birthday in January.

I was like a shell of myself.”
