Frisco, TX (WBAP/KLIF) – Country music legends Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks are set to co-host the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards from the Star in Frisco tomorrow night.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday in Frisco, Parton offered condolences to the families linked to the Allen mall massacre, while recalling the recent Covenant School shooting in Nashville
“Can you believe this crazy world we’re living in? Actually the song I’m singing on Thursday night is all about that and why can’t we love one another and why can’t we pull things together.
So, of course we all hurt. We’re all the same people really. So anytime you see that you think, ‘not again!’ But I’m sure with this being your hometown it hits even harder like it did in Nashville with the shooting there at the Covenant School. We always notice it when it happens in our own hometown.”
The multiple-Grammy winner is set to close out the show with her new song, “World on Fire.”
