She also stated that “another year has rolled around and what a year it has been,” adding that “like everyone else,” it was also her turn “for a COVID covered birthday,” in reference to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

During her call to kindness, Dolly also said that it meant different things, including donating “to your favorite cause,” or “if you want to give an old friend a call during these lonely times, give them a call.”

Also urging her fans that if they are able to “safely volunteer, then raise your hand to do so.”
