A petition is gaining major traction online to rename Nashville International Airport in honor of country music legend Dolly Parton. Started by two Nashville creatives, the Change.org campaign has already gathered over 51,000 signatures. Supporters say Dolly isn’t just a music icon, she’s a symbol of Tennessee’s heart and soul. They point to her decades-long career, her charitable work like funding children’s literacy and vaccine research, and her role in putting Tennessee on the global map.
The petition argues that renaming the airport after Dolly would be a meaningful way to celebrate her lasting impact on both the state and the world. Fans say it would also be a fun and welcoming tribute for visitors flying into Music City.
