Dolly Parton shocked fans across the country on Monday after announcing that she is canceling all her scheduled 2026 shows in New York City, a move that immediately stirred reactions online. The country music icon shared a brief but powerful statement: “Sorry, NYC… I only sing for values that uplift and inspire.”
According to sources close to her team, the decision came after “serious disagreements” between Dolly and certain local requirements tied to the New York events. Parton reportedly felt that several of the expectations conflicted with her long-held principles of “positivity, simplicity, and unity,” values she has emphasized throughout her decades-long career.
The announcement spread quickly on social media, where thousands of fans expressed disappointment but also admiration for her stand. Many commenters praised her integrity, saying Dolly has “always stayed true to herself and never compromised her values for anything.”
The canceled NYC concerts were originally set to be part of her major 2026 tour, which will continue in dozens of other U.S. cities. Organizers confirmed that all ticket purchases will be fully refunded and that there are currently no plans to reschedule New York dates.
While New York fans may feel left out, Dolly Parton appears unwavering. She made it clear that she will only perform in places where she feels “respected, free, and inspired.”

At Thanksgiving, there were nine place settings for ten people. My father pointed at my 12-year-old daughter and said, “You can eat in the kitchen. This table is for adults only.” She whispered, “But I’m part of the family… aren’t I?” Silence filled the room. No one spoke up for her. I didn’t argue. I simply took her hand, stood up, and walked out. What I did afterward ended up ruining their Christmas.
