  • Singer Dolly Parton discussed her physical appearance during a 2007 interview with Andres Lokko for Svenska Dagbladet.
  • Parton referred to her breasts as "my showdogs" and repeatedly steered the conversation towards them.
  • The interview, lasting only sixteen minutes, focused on her physical attributes despite questions about her bluegrass album.

In a 2007 encounter in London, music icon Dolly Parton famously declared, "I can sing the saddest songs sadder than anyone else." This sentiment was underscored by her unique approach to an interview with Andres Lokko for Svenska Dagbladet, where she repeatedly steered the conversation towards her physical appearance.

Parton, meeting Lokko at the luxurious Savoy Hotel, initiated the sixteen-minute conversation by adjusting her chest and playfully calling them "my showdogs." This served as her icebreaker, a topic she revisited multiple times during their brief meeting.
