‘Take The F—ing High Road’: Elle King Opens Up About Her Infamous Drunken Dolly Parton Tribute Performance

by

As a lifestyle expert with a penchant for music and resilience, I find Elle King’s journey to be both inspiring and relatable. Her ability to navigate through tough times, take the “high road,” and continue creating music is a testament to her strength and character.

Elle King made news for a boisterous performance under the influence at the Grand Ole Opry in January, honoring the country icon Dolly Parton. But now, this Grammy-nominated artist is planning to travel on the “high road,” as suggested by her latest single released on September 20th, and leave the past behind.

In a conversation with people, the artist famous for her hits “Exes and O’s” disclosed how she navigated a difficult period in her life and career. She explained, “‘High Road 2024’ was what my manager would say to me whenever something went wrong or upset me last year.” This phrase served as their guiding principle, with her saying, “It meant, ‘Choose the higher ground, woman. Be the person you’d want to be in any situation.’

 

As a lifestyle expert, let me share my experience with you – I often pen down lyrics for one of my songs, like the latest hit “High Road”, during my shower moments. Later, I collaborate with my friend and bassist Paul DiVincenzo to perfect it. Though we’ve only recently unveiled this tune, we’ve been showcasing it live on various stages. That’s just how my team and I operate! It isn’t unusual for us to debut an unrecorded song in our performances. “We frequently try out new songs during our tours, and many times, they don’t end up making the final cut,” I shared with you.

As she unveils her latest single, the popular country artist hinted at her upcoming album, a sequel to 2023’s “Come Get Your Wife.” Intriguingly, she suggested that the new tunes in this upcoming project would carry a traditional country vibe, a genre she fondly remembers from her childhood.

Apart from that, she utilized the album as a means to pay tribute to all aspects of Country music that resonate with her. In conclusion, she characterized the album as a humorous narrative infused with authenticity, intended to elicit laughter or deep emotion in its audience.

The singer from Jersey Giants, famously known as a 70s Country artist whose music significantly shaped her creative path, is none other than Willie Nelson. She’s been fortunate enough to have opened for him on more than one occasion and even shared the stage with him.
