Every airport's already got a delayed flight and a Cinnabon — Dolly just makes the wait feel like a song.

Nashville Airport Will Be Renamed for Dolly Parton After Unanimous Vote

The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority voted unanimously on Friday to rename Nashville International Airport after Tennessee native Dolly Parton, making her the first woman to have her name on one of the 50 busiest US airports. The push accelerated after Parton's death two weeks ago, when a 2025 petition by superfan Lydia Popovich passed 175,000 signatures. Airport officials said the change could take a year or more and requires negotiations with Parton's estate over merchandise profits. State- and city-run airport boards, usually feuding over control, agreed on the honor.
