Dolly Parton said Monday that she is declining her nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because she doesn't feel like she has earned that right.

Parton said on social media that she doesn't want to vote because she doesn't feel she deserves the honor.
The singer said she hopes the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will consider her again if she is ever worthy.
10. That's how many awards Parton has won. She has been nominated 51 times. She has released dozens of studio and live albums.
Parton has rejected an honor before. She said last year that she was offered two Presidential Medals of Freedom by the Trump administration, but didn't accept because her husband was ill, and she couldn't travel because of Covid-19.
In August, Parton made Forbes' list of America's Richest Self-Made Women, with an estimated fortune of $350 million. Artists have to have released their first recording at least 25 years ago to be eligible for the Hall of Fame. Nominees are voted on by a group of people in the music industry. Parton was nominated for the first time. Beck, A Tribe Called Quest, and Lionel Richie are some of the nominees in the year 2022. The Hall of Fame wrote that Parton is a living legend and a paragon of female empowerment, and that she is beloved for her prolific body of work, quintessential style, and philanthropic efforts.
Parton donated $1 million in April 2020 to the medical center that worked with Moderna to create the vaccine. Parton's company, Dollywood, announced last month that it would pay all of its employees' college tuition.
Dolly Parton says she turned down the Presidential medal of freedom twice.
