You had ONE job, sound techs! ONE JOB!!

This is “getting her flowers” 💐💐💐. The crowd said “even though the sound system is not meeting our noise level we’re going to make sure you know how much we love you Dolly.” ❤ love this for her.

Who ever is in charge of the audio at this stadium needs their head on a platter, because they totally failed Dolly when horrific acoustics.
We all know she has a wonderful voice-
So this is on them,
Not Great Dolly, who is a National Treasure ❤
Go Dawgs!

Like the lady, professional singer and one of the Queens of Country she is....she put on the show with confidence and grace....applause to you Dolly.

And I don't think this will ever happen again, the production crew surely learned something....

UT Sound Techs absolutely crapped the bed and embarrassed Dolly Parton. This was so awkward in the stadium today……..

[tplee]

loved the gesture by Tennessee but they clearly did not test out the band and sound system beforehand; drowned Dolly right out

I would have loved to be able to hear Dolly. It’s the only part of the game I cheered for anything from TN. Because we all love her and her love for her home. GO DAWGS!

Im not even from TN, but Dolly is such a precious national treasure, and I hate that they failed her like that. But what a true pro she is. ❤
