Elle King recently revealed the personal struggles that led to her infamous drunken performance at Dolly Parton’s birthday tribute at the Grand Ole Opry. This candid disclosure came during her appearance on Chelsea Handler’s "Dear Chelsea" podcast, marking the first time King has publicly discussed the incident. The singer's vulnerability offers insight into the pressures faced by public figures and underscores the importance of mental health awareness. Elle King Reveals Personal Struggles The Incident at the Grand Ole Opry The Performance On January 19, Elle King performed at the Grand Ole Opry for a tribute to country music icon Dolly Parton. What was meant to be a celebration turned into a controversial moment when King, visibly intoxicated, cussed on stage during her performance of “Jolene.” This behavior, especially given the occasion, led to significant backlash on social media. The Backstory In her podcast interview, King shared that she had been dealing with severe personal issues at the time. She described the days leading up to the performance as particularly challenging, stating she hadn’t "eaten or slept in days" due to overwhelming stress and severe PTSD. “I had been going through something very heavy and traumatic in my life at the time,” King explained. “That day was a really big day dealing with what I was going through — and that I’m still going through.” The Day of the Performance King recounted that there was a “big snowstorm” on the day of the performance, which added to the chaos. The original headliner was canceled just three hours before the show, and King was asked to step in as the headliner. Despite managing a perfect first performance, King’s nerves got the better of her during the second set after she took "one shot too many." “I was not there in my body,” King admitted. She blacked out on stage and didn’t remember what she said until the video went viral. Aftermath and Apology The aftermath of the incident left King devastated. She described waking up the next day to find the video of her performance everywhere and feeling "mortified." King took immediate action to apologize, writing hand-written letters to both the Grand Ole Opry and Dolly Parton. Dolly Parton's Response Dolly Parton’s response to the incident was nothing short of compassionate. King shared that Parton called her a few days later, offering kind words and reassurance. “She just gave me kind words and told me, ‘Well, Dolly’s not mad. She watched you be a human being’ and made me laugh,” King recalled. Lessons Learned and Moving Forward Taking Responsibility King has taken full responsibility for her actions and has learned from the experience. She now abstains from drinking before performances, which she believes has led to the best shows of her career. “Now I don’t drink before I go onstage and they’re the best shows I’ve ever played,” she stated. Coping and Growth Following the incident, King took some time to herself to cope and reflect. Despite the harsh criticism and the extreme backlash, including harmful messages telling her to harm herself, she chose to focus on the support and love from her fans. “To everyone sending me love because I’m human and already talked to Dolly, I love you. To everyone who told me to k*ll myself I love you too,” she wrote on social media. Importance of Mental Health King’s story highlights the critical importance of mental health awareness and the pressures artists face. Her transparency about her struggles with PTSD and the impact of not taking care of herself physically and emotionally serves as a reminder of the humanity behind public personas.

While obviously central to, say, Robinson Crusoe (1719), Moby-Dick (1851), or Treasure Island (1883), the sea also drives some powerful narrative turbines in Jane Eyre (1847), Great Expectations (1861), and Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891). Elleke Boehmer’s remark that imperial representations were ‘curiously invisible and yet ubiquitous’ in Victorian literature could also be applied to the sea, the means of building and sustaining that imperial network. [...]

Increasingly, critics have begun to draw out the role of the sea in a number of texts we might think of as non-sea-literature. [...] After all, most canonical Gothic novels include at least one significant sea voyage, shipwreck, or ocean storm. Consider Robert Walton’s ice-bound ship in Frankenstein (1818), Dracula’s voyages to and from England, the wreck that casts the Spaniard on Melmoth’s shore [...].

By the twentieth century the Age of Sail had given way to steam power and iron ships (a transition which spiked in the 1880s and 90s), and the whaling industry was soon in sharp decline. Other changes followed, such as the way improved navigation and nutrition, along with steam and the building of the Panama and Suez canals, reduced both the danger and the frequency of voyages around Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope. [...]

This is a ghost ship for the twentieth century, a new danger generated by steam power, large metal ships, their accompanying speed, and increasingly busy shipping lanes. There was no directly equivalent discrepancy of size and power between sailing craft in the previous century, while these days, radar, radio and GPS navigation mitigate against (though certainly do not eliminate) the risks of leisure craft entering shipping lanes and the problems of fog. The Gothic trope of the ghost ship is no more timeless than any other ghost. Historically situated, it becomes legible not by separating but by blending Gothic expression with nautical reality [...].

Modern uses of the sea (including opportunities for warfare, scientific investigation, oil drilling, or industrialised fishing) affect the ocean as an imagined space. Increasing interest in the ocean as a space of exploration and strange sea-creatures, for example, coincided with the rise of popular cinema; films such as Jaws (1975), the numerous Godzilla films, The Abyss (1989) and Pacific Rim (2013) exploit the mystery and terror of animal or alien threats from the unknowable ocean deep. [...]

These examples take some by now familiar nautical Gothic themes (dangerous unknown regions and creatures, concealment, isolation, depths vs. surface, claustrophobia, disorientation) and relocate them in new contexts of leisure, science, technophilia, and global commerce. [...]

The mid-nineteenth century was when the open ocean became a destination as well as a conduit: ‘a workplace, a leisure area, a stage for adventure, and a natural environment’. Nonetheless, the twenty-first century moment makes it particularly urgent to recognise the history of the sea. Philip Steinberg points out that the ‘one sea’ we now know the oceans comprise is a relatively new idea [...].

In 2017, the familiarity of seeing the world’s oceans through aerial and satellite photography conveys a sense of the ocean as holistic, but also reifies it as non-human and timeless, rather than as socially constructed, vulnerable, and rapidly changing. Far from unchangeable, however, the ocean registers damaging effects of climate change, consumerism [...]. [A] ‘burgeoning sense of an environmental crisis of the ocean is emerging hand in hand with the dawning recognition that our everyday lives affect, and are influenced by, the ocean.’
