Fox News
The "Heartstrings" star, 76, delivered an opening monologue in which she dedicated the "entire show" to Ukraine, asking everyone to send their prayers to the people of Ukraine in the midst of Russia's invasion.
"I love to laugh, I love to joke, and we're going to have a good time tonight, but I do want us before we get started with all our fun to take a serious moment," Parton said while speaking to a packed Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. "Now I don't want to be political and this is not. I'd rather pass a kidney stone than do that, but I want us to send our love and hope to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine."
"So why don't we just dedicate this entire show to them and pray for peace around this crazy old world?" she added before introducing a collaborative performance featuring Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett.
