Country music legend Dolly Parton marked her 80th birthday last week with her traditional sense of humour, while also sharing new music to mark the occasion.

In an Instagram video, Dolly joked about aging.

“I hope I’ve still got my plastic surgeons in line. Oh Lord, I’ve outlived so many plastic surgeons. Well, happy birthday to me!”

Parton marked the milestone by releasing an updated version of her 1977 hit, “Light of a Clear Blue Morning,” which features Reba McEntire, Miley Cyrus, Lainey Wilson, and Queen Latifah, with David Foster on piano and Kent Wells producing.

Net proceeds from the new version will support pediatric cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville.

The original song reached No. 11 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart in June 1977.
