Dolly Parton is headed to Neyland Stadium, as Tennessee is looking to upset the Georgia Bulldogs in Week 12.

The Volunteers will need all the help they can get against the Bulldogs, and Parton is doing her part to help the program. The sensation revealed on Monday that she’ll be joining the raucous crowd this weekend on Monday afternoon, via a video on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Well hello, it’s Dolly and I am so excited to join 101,000 of my friends in the best place for college football, Neyland Stadium. I’ll see you there,” Parton said, in the video accompanying the post.

Will Dolly Parton be enough to get Tennessee one of their biggest victories in many seasons? Time will tell, but a win over Georgia would go a long way towards reviving the Volunteers season, after some disappointment in Week 11.
