AP Entertainment reporter Mesfin Fekadu scored an exclusive interview with Dolly Parton who announced her new Super Bowl commercial.

During the interview, he asked if she had gotten her Covid-19 vaccine, and Parton, who donated $1 million to coronavirus research, said she was waiting to get her vaccination shot because she didn’t want to seem like she was “jumping the line,” a story that was picked up by the “Today” show, WebMD, People magazine, Yahoo! and many more.
