One commenter noted, "She's done the joke with the guy a couple of times before, but unfortunately, she didn't say 'trunk,' it was 'truck.' I found a clip, but be forewarned: it's on TikTok with one of those really annoying AI voice intros." Another chimed in, "Absolute national treasure," highlighting the universal adoration for Dolly Parton.

Social media reactions were filled with praise and laughter. One user exclaimed, "Dolly, you're breathtaking!" while another commented, "Dolly is a highly intelligent and genuine human. She'd cut you if she has to, but with a smile."
