She said she 'wanted to die' after the embarrassing performance.
Elle King performs during CMA Fest 2022 on Sunday, June 12, 2022, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn. The 34-year-old star showed up on stage as the Opry celebrated Dolly Parton’s birthday and told fans she was “hammered.” She then proceeded to butcher some songs.According to reports, she admitted during the performance that she did not know the lyrics to the song and told fans, “Don’t tell Dolly cause it’s her birthday.
She is back out performing now, and during a recent appearance on Chelsea Handler’s podcast she discussed the incident.“I not only cussed onstage, hammered at the Grand Ole Opry, but it was Dolly Parton’s birthday, and the Opry was doing a Dolly Parton tribute,” she said. “I haven’t spoken about it because, one, I had to chill. It was a big deal.
