Elle King is catching heat for her performance at the Grand Ole Opry Friday night during a Dolly Parton tribute concert celebrating the country singer’s 78th birthday. King, the daughter of actor Rob Schneider, was caught on video from multiple angles performing what fans thought was a bad cover of Dolly’s "Marry Me." During the performance, according to one TikTok video, Elle admitted onstage she didn't know the words to the song: "I don't know the lyrics to these things in this (expletive) town/Don't tell Dolly 'cause it's her birthday." Addressing the audience, she said: "I'm not even gonna (expletive) lie … y'all bought tickets for this (expletive), you ain't getting your money back." "I don't want it," one fan shouted back. "Good, 'cause you ain't getting it," King replied. Then, she added: "I'll tell you one thing more … hi, my name is Elle King. I'm (expletive) hammered." According to TikTok user @jamiek721, King cursed over a dozen times at the Ryman Auditorium Friday where children were also in attendance.
