“You tell ’em, Dolly, that AI mess has got us doing all kinds of crazy things. You are out there dying, I’m out here having a baby,” McEntire joked in an Instagram video.<\/p>\n

Reba McEntire<\/a> is sending her longtime friend Dolly Parton<\/a> a heartwarming message after an AI picture of the country superstar on her deathbed began circulating on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You tell ’em, Dolly, that AI mess has got us doing all kinds of crazy things. You are out there dying, I’m out here having a baby,” said McEntire, 70, in an Instagram video shared on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“Well, both of us know I’m too young and you are too old for any of that kind of nonsense,” she added. “You better know I\u2019m praying for you. I love you with all my heart, and I can’t wait to see you soon.”<\/p>\n

The concern over Parton’s health started after Dolly’s sister, Freida Parton, 68, recently took to Facebook to ask her followers to pray for the “Jolene” singer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly,” Freida wrote on Tuesday. “Many of you know she hasn\u2019t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been (led) to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.”<\/p>\n

After the post, fans of all ages eagerly sent the singer their well-wishes. Yet, the silence from Parton and her family exacerbated the nervous energy on social media, causing users to assume the worst.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But on Wednesday, the “9 to 5” singer herself took to Instagram to address all claims, sharing a video of herself live and well.<\/p>\n

“Well, today is October the 8th, and obviously I’m here,” she stated. “I know lately everybody thinks I’m sicker than I am, do I look sick to you? I\u2019m working hard here.”<\/p>\n

“Anyways, I wanted to put everybody\u2019s mind at ease, I appreciate your prayers,” explained Parton while on a break from filming commercials for Grand Ole Opry. “I want you to know that I am okay.”<\/p>\n

Parton described that after her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, passed away in March of this year, she “didn\u2019t take care of [herself].” <\/p>\n

These health concerns prompted her doctor to make recommendations to remain closer to home.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
