Dolly Parton has received a lot of advice over the course of her career, but not all of it’s been good. In case you missed it, the singer opened up about the worst advice she ever got, during an appearance on “WorkLife with Adam Grant” podcast.

“The main advice that people wanted to give me was to change my look – to go simpler with my hair and the way that I dress,” Dolly shared. “Not to look so cheap, nobody was ever going to take me seriously, they would say.”  She noted, “People wanted me to change, they thought I looked cheap. But I patterned my look after the town tramp.”

As for why, Dolly shared, “Everybody said, ‘She’s trash.’ And in my little girl mind, I thought, ‘Well, that’s what I’m going to be when I grow up.’ It was really like a look I was after,” noting, “I wasn’t a natural beauty. So, I just like to look the way I look.” She added, “I’m so outgoing inside in my personality, that I need the way I look to match all of that.”

Taylor Swift has been given a new honor, well sort of. Scientists have just named a new millipede after the singer.  The new species of millipede from the Appalachian Mountains will now be known as the Nannaria swiftae, or the Swift Twisted-Claw Millipede.

Virginia Tech scientists Derek Hennen, Jackson Means, and Paul Marek named the Swift millipede, along with 15 other new species. Hennen, the lead author, is a Swiftie, and choose this specific millipede because as of now it’s only been found in Tennessee,

“Her music helped me get through the highs and lows of graduate school,” Hennen notes, “so naming a new millipede species after her is my way of saying thanks.”

So far Taylor hasn’t commented on her millepede.
