Dolly Parton's fans were more than happy to grant grace to the beloved country star and appeared completely unbothered by any misspoken words at the 2022 Academy of Country Music Awards. In the words of a lifelong follower, "I'm only watching the ACM awards for Dolly. I've loved her since I was a small child" (via Twitter). Another viewer stated that the "9 To 5" singer "is STILL amazing." They included the #LivingLegend hashtag to describe her legacy.

Literally, most fans didn't seem mind. Some stuck up for the faux pas. "If Dolly says you're Kelly, god*****t you're KELLY," one tweeted. Another fan simply enjoyed the performance. "Dolly + Kelsea = MAGIC," they wrote. We really aren't kidding; fans not only loved the show, but some even appreciated the authentic errors. One posted, "Dolly Parton f****ng up everybody's name on the ACMs is giving me life." We get it!

So Kelly, Kelsea, and any of the other female singing superstars who graced the stage tonight — whatever your name is, as far as we're concerned, all of you killed it.
