The Grand Ole Opry has apologized to fans after outrage over an embarrassing appearance by an apparently drunken Elle King during a Dolly Parton tribute Friday night. Describing herself as "f---ing hammered," the singer cussed during the traditionally family-friendly show, awkwardly bantered with hecklers and failed to remember the Parton song she was supposed to sing as part of the birthday salute. Have you ever been to a concert where the performer (or one of the performers) was intoxicated?

In the midst of seemingly forgetting the lines to the Parton song "Marry Me," King appeared in video clips to be altering the lyrics to "I don't give a sh*t" and "I don't know the lyrics to these things in this f***ing town… Don't tell Dolly 'cause it's her birthday." Things didn't get better when she directly addressed the restless crowd. "You ain't getting your money back," King said in response to angry shouts from the audience. The popular country music site Saving Country Music wrote that King owes both Parton and the Opry an apology. Do you agree? Select all that apply. King owes Parton an apology
