Last year, Dolly Parton was announced as a Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee, despite her public statements to not be considered — as she thought the other nominees deserved it more. The voters picked Parton anyway, so she accepted it, with a twist. While on the stage, she revealed she would be making a rock cover album titled Rockstar, which would include collaborations with artists in that genre.
Now, Parton has shared not one but four of the album’s various covers — and fans are LOVING it. Keeping her original energy, she is seen riding on a motorcycle in a leather jumpsuit, driving in a car with a cheetah-print steering wheel, rocking out on an electric guitar, and channeling her inner Kiss member.

“WOAH she grandmothered so hard in all of these,” one user wrote.
In addition to the cover reveals Parton posted a teaser on her social media, where past clips of herself play on a tv graphic. “Who’s ready to rock?!” she captioned. Last but certainly not least, she also shared the tracklist and release date.
