Dollywood is 40 years old, and Dolly Parton says it's time to visit
PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. — Nine-to-five would probably be a vacation for Dolly Parton. The living legend is always juggling multiple projects. 'And why not?' Parton told USA TODAY. 'I've lived this life, and I'm going to keep living it as long as I can, and I'm going to make hay while the sun shines.' Her new musical 'Dolly: A True Original Musical' debuts in Nashville on Friday. That's also where she's featured in a special Country Music Hall of Fame exhibit through September. This winter, she'll return to Las Vegas for her first run of shows there in more than 30 years. And all year long, her namesake theme park, which she co-owns with Herschend, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Parton spoke to USA TODAY about Dollywood and other matters close to her heart earlier this park season. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. QUESTION: You dreamed of opening a theme park. What was your vision? Dolly Parton: When I first started getting successful, I used to think if I ever made it as big as I hoped to, then I (would) want to have my own theme park. I was just dreaming of having a wonderful place for people to come, have a good time, having all kinds of things to enjoy and providing jobs for my family and the kin folks around here and the good neighbors. And sure enough, we've got all that now. Of course we opened 40 years ago. It took a little while to get it all in the works, but it's more than I even imagined that it could be. When you have a dream, you gotta dream big, so I'm always dreaming big, but sometimes your dreams really take on a life of their own, and that's the way that it is with Dollywood. This is a wonderful part of the country to be in. We get a lot of tourists. I can't take credit for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They were drawing people for many years before we came – another reason that I knew this would be a good place to have a business like Dollywood. A lot of great people have worked really hard to make it what it is. And here we are 40 years later and it's just bigger and better every year. Dollywood's original dream team: They came for the summer and stayed 40 years What would you want folks around the country to know about Dollywood? DP: I want them to know they should get here and do whatever you gotta do to get here cause once you've been here, you're going to love it. Almost everybody that's been here, they always come back. Our slogan is (creating) memories worth repeating and love every moment. And we've had different slogans through the years like that, but I really think people just make beautiful memories here because there's something for every age group in the family. Even the teenagers can get their jollies, as they say, on the roller coasters and a lot of the things we have. Grandparents can love all the shopping, all the arts and crafts and the old mill and the glass blowing and so many wonderful things that couples can enjoy and the kids can enjoy, so they can meet up at one point or another during the day. You can bring the whole family and there's something for everybody to enjoy without being in each other's face all day. You've also got Splash Country and these world-class resorts and your dinner theater opportunities. You could have a whole week's vacation. DP: I am very proud of the businesses that we have over on the parkway. We have the Pirates Voyage. We have the Stampede and we have the Comedy Barn. We have so many things, like the Hatfields and McCoys and all the fun things (outside) the park. But here in the (resort) we have, as you mentioned, Splash Country; people love that. We open early in May, and we go through until September when the weather starts to cool off. We just have something for everybody in this whole area. Plus, not to be selfish with just my own, but there's so many great businesses around here, so many great things for people to see. This, to me, is sincerely one of the greatest places that anyone could visit. This part of the country, right here in Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg, and in this general area, there's just so much. You're the Dreamer in Chief here. Can you tell us a little bit about that? DP: Well, we all get together and we kind of brainstorm, thinking about how well we've done with certain things and how much better this did than that and what we don't need to do again. And then we think, 'Oh, we need to really expand on this idea.' And so out of the great people that have great minds, we come up with great things. Sometimes I'll come up with an idea and it's not always great, but they'll take that and we can incorporate that into something else in the park. For instance, the restaurants, we even theme a lot of our meals based on things that I've talked about, about my own childhood, like stone soup ... My mom used to make that. We all felt special because we thought that stone made it twice as good as what it was, only because of Mama's stories and she was a good cook. But we try to have little things that really connect people to me as much as we possibly can, stories that I've told, songs that I've written, memories that I've had, talking about the people in the community. We try to have little links to kind of connect that chain that goes all the way through any and all the businesses that we have. Over the past 40 years, you've done so much through the park. What are you most proud of? DP: Well, I'm proud of all of it. I'm proud of the whole idea that it was a big dream and it came true. That's a lot to be proud of. I'm proud of all the things we have, but I'm extremely proud of the Imagination Library, which is our Dollywood Foundation, and we do a lot of giving. We do a lot of things through that, and the Imagination Library is one of the things I'm proudest of anything I've done, even outside the park, just my whole career in general. That's a very warm, loving, emotional thing for me to think that I'm the book lady and that I've done something for the little kids, because being from a big family, I have a special love for children. There are eight kids younger than me in my family. I have a sister and two older brothers, but there's just something about young kids. They're the future. They're the ones that's going to be going on after us, and so I think if you can give them a head start, a little chance of any kind in their early years and their most impressionable years, that's a good thing. A lot of theme parks try to make you feel like you're in one place or another, but Dollywood really showcases the Smokies. What was the intention behind that? DP: Well, we wanted to try to keep as much of the Smoky Mountains and all the nature that we can. It always breaks your heart when you're going to have to build something. You have to cut down a tree or bushes or uproot this or that. But we've tried very hard to work around as much nature as we can rather than just mowing it down and just scooting it off a mountain somewhere or off a bank. We try to work around nature, and we try to keep as much as we can. We have all the beautiful flowers all over the park. I think it's one of the prettiest parks ever. You'd have to agree, right? I mean, when you walk around, there's trees and bushes and flowers everywhere, and we love that. So, we want to keep as much of the Smokies and that attitude and that feeling, because I'm a mountain girl and I think people know all that and they would expect that of me as well. Mountain people are also very important to you. For those who haven't been here, how would you describe the warmth and hospitality of the people? DP: There's just something about Southern people in general – they call that the Southern hospitality – but there's something even more than that about mountain people, people that are in the hills 'cause most of them grew up hard, so they have an appreciation and understanding of all people. There's just a warmth and a depth and a knowing in mountain people, I think. And they welcome you because most of them are from big families. Most of them take their own kinfolk in like that, so it's just almost like everybody's a friend, everybody's a family member. I know myself, when I do shows, I look out at my audience. I can see somebody I know in every person out there. Somebody reminds me of Uncle So-and-so. That looks just like my sister Stella. Oh, that person looks like Uncle Fred, so I kind of feel that warmth and I play to those people, so I'm always home wherever I'm at. And I think people go away from here, when they've been here, they think, 'Wow, that's just like we're having to leave some kin folks that we really like. Can't wait to go back next summer and spend our summer vacation out on the farm with the Partons and the Owenses.' So many people want to connect with you, and they have some other ways to do so around the country coming up DP: Come and be part of it and enjoy it. I'm very proud of my life story as a musical. We're going to open that in Nashville. We're actually doing previews in July and August. Then we go to New York, and we'll be opening on Broadway sometime next year, along with the (Nashville) hotel. I'm very excited about that and my museum (exhibit). And I have a new book coming out called 'Star of the Show.' It's about my life on stage and on the road, and so there's this whole lot of stuff going on. As much as I can do while I'm living, I'm going to try to get it done.

Why Kaylor Martin says she won't watch 'Love Island: Beyond the Villa'
If there's anything Kaylor Martin learned from her online following skyrocketing after starring in Season 6 of "Love Island USA," it might be that tuning out social media is for the best sometimes. Martin, 23, tells USA TODAY that it's "such an honor" to be part of the "USA" franchise's first spinoff show, "Love Island: Beyond the Villa" (new episodes out Thursdays on Peacock). "Looking back, (seeing) how much our lives have changed, we're very blessed and lucky," she adds. But Martin acknowledges her second go-around on Peacock will be "more difficult" than her breakout role on "Love Island USA" last year. Last summer, an exponentially growing audience of fans watched her fall head-over-heels for Brit Aaron Evans, only to be left heartbroken over his deception and sobbing to an entirely too appropriate Sabrina Carpenter song chosen by the show's editors. But at the time, she had no contact with the outside world and was spared from outside opinions until she left the villa right before the finale. "It's going to be even more difficult, our show airing and us having our phones in real time, hearing everyone's opinions and backlash and everything like that," Martin says. "That's going to be the most challenging part, at least for myself." 'Some of the fans ... they're very toxic' So, what is Martin going to do to set boundaries? "I'm not going to watch the show. I want to have a Europe summer and just sign off," she says. This desire to escape is, in part, because of online hate. "Some of the fans, we are very lucky, but they're very toxic. And sometimes they forget we are real human beings," Martin says. "You never know how you're going to be perceived or what the public's going to think," she continues. "But as long as you feel like you've stayed true to you, I feel like that's the most important thing." "Beyond the Villa," in its first two episodes, sees Martin and her best friend from the show, Liv Walker, feud as tension builds over a missing invite to a boyfriend's birthday celebration and lack of communication over how much effort they will put into their appearances for an event. Her "Villa" co-stars include fan-favorite Season 6 couples JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez, Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi, and winners Serena Page and Kordell Beckham (who make guest appearances while he's filming his first movie). For better or worse, Evans is also on the show, and he and Martin reunite, without much resolution, months after a contentious reunion episode. Unlike "Love Island," which is a reality romance-slash-competition show, "Beyond the Villa" is more along the lines of fellow NBCUniversal show "Vanderpump Rules." "Beyond the Villa" follows the cast socializing and navigating inner-circle drama in Los Angeles. It filmed in the spring, close to the show's July 13 premiere. "Filming this season, I feel like it was way more difficult than filming 'Love Island,'" Martin says. "When you're there (in the villa), you're there for love, and it's all happy. And, I mean, some parts sad, but all this was very challenging for me at least, dealing with the real world and real (stuff) going on."

Is Coca-Cola changing its US recipe? What we know so far
While Coca-Cola has yet to announce a recipe change, President Donald Trump said the drink-maker agreed to switch a primary ingredient for its U.S. beverages. In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, July 16, the president said he has spoke with the company about using "REAL cane sugar" in its flagship soda, adding that company has agreed to do so. "I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You'll see. It's just better!" he wrote. For its U.S. products, the soft drink manufacturer currently uses high-fructose corn syrup as opposed to cane sugar, which is used in other countries like Mexico. The announcement aligns with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s efforts to shift American food consumption away from certain ingredients, like artificial dyes. While Kennedy has deemed both sugar and high fructose corn syrup as unhealthy, his Make America Healthy Again initiative combatting chronic health problems has claimed the proposed substitutes are ultimately healthier. Here's what to know about the supposed recipe change. What has Coca-Cola said about the move? Coca-Cola has not yet confirmed a recipe switch, as of Thursday evening, July 17, but the company teased an announcement could be coming. "We appreciate President Trump's enthusiasm for our iconic Coca‑Cola brand. More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca‑Cola product range will be shared soon," the company said in a statement July 16. A company quarterly earnings call is scheduled for Tuesday, July 22, 2025 starting at 8:30 a.m. ET. What has Trump, the White House said? The White House has not responded to USA TODAY's requests for comment after Trump initially announced the recipe switch on Truth Social July 16. "I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so," Trump wrote. "I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You'll see. It's just better! Wall Street reacts: Stock prices of high fructose syrup producer ADM drop Archer-Daniels-Midland, a major producer of high fructose syrup, saw its shares fall close to 1% on July 17, following Trump's announcement. Meanwhile, ingredients provider Ingredion saw its shares decline by 0.6% after falling as much as 7% ahead of the market's open, CNBC reported. Coca-Cola shares rose nearly 2% on Thursday. Is cane sugar healthier than corn syrup? If consumed in excess, both cane and high-fructose corn syrup, like all sugars, can carry negative health effects including weight gain, diabetes and heart disease. While some studies have suggested that high-fructose corn syrup may be linked to increased fat production and inflammation, the FDA says it is "not aware of any evidence" of a difference in safety between foods containing high-fructose corn syrup and "foods containing similar amounts of other nutritive sweeteners with approximately equal glucose and fructose content, such as sucrose, honey, or other traditional sweeteners." How would the recipe change impact Coca-Cola? Coca-Cola switching from cane sugar to high-fructose corn syrup would pose changes to cost and product labeling, Reuters reported, citing industry analysts. The company would have to significantly adjust its supply chains as the two sweeteners primarily come from different producers. Is corn syrup cheaper than sugar? Ron Sterk, a senior editor at food industry insider SOSland Publishing, said it is cheaper for U.S. food and beverage companies to use corn syrup than cane sugar, Reuters reported.
