Fans of the queen of country music were thrilled when the account appeared, putting up an introduction clip in which she was clad in a yellow top with patterned yellow and blue pants. 'Why hello, I guess I'm on TikTok! I just dropped in to say that it will be okay,' the 75-year-old iconic singer-songwriter said before singing. 'If I can do it, so can you ... I believe in you.' But their hopes were dashed when the account was banned by the app, with a number of Parton's fans taking to TikTok on Monday to complain. The latest: A number of Dolly Parton fans took to TikTok Monday to complain after Dolly Parton's newly-created account was banned from the social media site A spokesperson for the singer explained to NBC's The Today Show that an unverified user had taken an old video from Parton's Imagination Library website and 'doctored it' to create the @itsdollyparton account. 'Take a closer look...' the spokesperson said, noting that TikTok had removed the video. A spokesperson for the company said the video had been removed for violating the social media platform's guidelines on impersonation. It is unclear if Dolly Parton or her representatives complained to the platform over the account and the video, or whether TikTok took the initiative to take it down. The account had already amassed in excess of 680,000 followers and a million likes by the time it was taken down, according to People.
