Elle King

The singer has yet to issue an official statement on her turbulent 'Opry Goes Dolly' performance.

King will not perform at Billy Bob's Texas as scheduled this weekend.

An admittedly-intoxicated Elle King sparked outrage with her performance -- but Dolly Parton's sister Stella spoke up in her defense.

This is the music he's been waiting to make.

'I can't believe I even have to say this, but no, I am not on any weight loss medication,' King clarifies.

As they prepare for another year of hosting the special, they're bringing another talented act along for the ride: Lainey Wilson.

"My country album's called 'Come Get Your Wife,' so there are some wives to be come and gotten!"

They've got glowing things to say about their new co-host.

The 'CMA Fest' television special will air on July 19.

Thank goodness for good friends.
