Once you take a look at the famous singer's hands and catch a glimpse of the gloves, you can't unsee it.
Although some people are still in denial, The Sun reports that Dolly Parton began wearing the gloves around 2010.
In an interview with InStyle, Dolly's creative director Steve Summers explained why Dolly chooses to cover up her hands.
“People always ask why she always wears sleeves — well, she’s 73-years-old, and she doesn’t like her elbows. “[They ask] ‘what’s wrong with her hands?’ She’s 73, and she doesn’t like them! It’s a normal woman thing.”- Steve Summers

Furthermore, it has been shared that Dolly Parton also wears long sleeves to cover up tattoos.
Many are claiming this is the start of a glove wearing trend. The legend's up-keep on her look is causing her to "age backwards", according to fans.

In a 2017 interview with Vanity Fair, Dolly was asked about her tendency to wear longer sleeves often, and in responding she confirmed that she has tattoos to cover up scars.
"I have a tendency to have keloid scar tissue, and I have a tendency where if I have any kind of scars anywhere then they kind of have a purple tinge that I can never get rid of. So mine [tattoos] are all pastels and they’re meant to cover some scars. I’m not trying to make some big, bold statement,"- Dolly Parton
Regardless of Dolly's reasons for wearing these gloves, people love this icon's sense of style and all that she stands for - gloves or no gloves.
