CBS News reports:

Singer Elle King took the stage at the Grand Ole Opry for a Dolly Parton tribute on Friday, admitting to the crowd she was hammered before botching the words to a Parton song. The expletive-laden performance, which occurred on Parton’s birthday, was criticized by audience members and prompted an apology from the venue.

Videos on social media show King, whose real name is Tanner Elle Schneider and is the daughter of comic and actor Rob Schneider, flubbing the lyrics to Parton’s song “Marry Me.”

“You bought tickets to this s***,” she said when the song ended. “You ain’t getting your money back.” She continued to curse and spoke to a heckler in the crowd before addressing the audience. “Hi, my name is Elle King and I’m f***ing hammered.”

Rob Schneider, you may know, has followed Kevin Sorbo and Ricky Schroder into far-right, anti-vax, pro-Trump batshittery. In November 2023, Schneider made a huge deal about his conversion to Catholicism, earning him fawning praise from the usual nutbags. Elle King is best known for her 2014 single “Ex’s And Oh’s,” which went multi-platinum.
