The American singer-songwriter and musician Dolly Parton finally reveals the reason behind her refusing many requests to play the Super Bowl halftime show.

The musician said, ‘Oh, sure. I’ve been offered that many times,’ continued saying, ‘I couldn’t do it because of other things, or I just didn’t think I was big enough to do it – to do that big of a production. When you think about those shows, those are big, big productions. I’ve never done anything with that big of a production. I don’t know if I could have. I think at the time that’s what I was thinking.’

The 77, country star shared that she never felt the right moment to perform at the big NFL show, continued adding that she did not consider herself to play such a huge performance. However, the halftime show has been highlighted by the support and admiration of Madonna, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, and Coldplay, considered one of the biggest live music shows of the year, and over 100 million people around the world watch the show.

The phenomenal musician revealed that she was overwhelmed when her name was tagged in with such a huge production label. Continued sharing, ‘I couldn’t do it because of other things, or I just didn’t think I was big enough to do it – to do that big of a production.’ Moreover said, ‘When you think about those shows, those are big, big productions. I’ve never done anything with that big of a production,’

The ‘Jolene’ singer said, ‘I don’t know if I could have. I think at the time that’s what I was thinking.’

However, the legendary musician said that now she is considering performing on big shows after the debut of her rock album ‘Rockstar’ recently. She said, ‘It would make more sense. I might be able to do a production show,’

Dolly shared in a public statement that she was refusing the award but also it reminded her that she wished to ‘put out a hopefully great rock ‘n’ roll album in the future’.  She said, ‘Even though I am extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I don’t feel that I have earned that right,’ continued, ‘This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock ‘n’ roll album at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do!’ further added, ‘My husband is a total rock’n’roll freak, and has always encouraged me to do one. I wish all of the nominees good luck and thank you again for the compliment. Good luck!’
