Elle King is speaking out. The “Ex’s and Oh’s” singer has broken her silence after making headlines with a drunken, profanity-laced performance at the Grand Ole Opry earlier this year.
The incident occurred in January during a tribute event for Dolly Parton ‘s 78th birthday at the famed venue in Nashville, Tennessee. At the time, King appeared to flub her way through a cover of Parton’s “Marry Me” and declared herself to be “f**king hammered.” The Opry went on to issue a formal apology to concertgoers, while the fallout led King to postpone and reschedule several shows .
On Sunday, the 34-year-old singer took to Instagram to address the situation for the first time.
In her video post, King can be running up the aisle of an empty stadium while wearing headphones. The clip is set to Able Heart’s song, ” Masterpiece .”
“To everyone sending me love because I’m human and already talked to Dolly, I love you,” she wrote on her reel. “To everyone who told me to k*ll myself, I love you too.”
