The superstar country singer told TODAY that she was offered the honor twice by former President Donald Trump’s administration but had to turn them down both times.

“I couldn’t accept it because my husband was ill and then they asked me again about it and I wouldn’t travel because of the COVID,” Parton told the show in a segment set to air on Tuesday.

The “Jolene” singer said that she has also received a call from President Biden’s administration but did not want the issue to become divisive.
