A scheduled Elle King concert has been postponed just days after the country star drew criticism for her behavior during a Dolly Parton tribute night at the Grand Ole Opry.
King, 34, was set to perform at Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday, Jan. 26. But midday on Wednesday, the venue announced on social media that the King concert has been rescheduled. The concert will instead take place several months from now, on Sept. 21.
The venue didn’t specify why the concert date was moved, but many people have speculated online that King’s Grand Ole Opry appearance may have played a role in the decision.
King was one of several artists who performed at the “Opry Goes Dolly” event held on Jan. 19 in celebration of the Grammy Award winner’s 78th birthday. The “Jolene” singer was not present to witness the events that unfolded.
Concertgoers could tell right away that things were off when King took the stage, with the “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer telling the crowd that she was “hammered.” She went on to warn the crowd that she likely wouldn’t remember the lyrics to Parton’s song, “Marry Me,” a prediction that proved true.
