Petition Gains Support to Rename Nashville Airport After Dolly Parton
A petition to rename Nashville International Airport after country music icon Dolly Parton has gained significant support, surpassing 100,000 signatures following her death. Initiated in January 2025 by Tennessee residents Lydia Popovich and Dan Dion, the campaign honors Parton's legacy in her home state. The petition highlights her musical achievements and philanthropic work, including the Imagination Library. Public figures like singer Sheryl Crow have expressed support, though the petition itself does not directly change the airport's name.
