On the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 23, SiriusXM host Eric Alper posed an important hypothetical: if aliens invaded Earth tomorrow and asked to meet with one representative for all mankind, who would we send? The question came with the caveat that the individual in question could not be a member of the government. A scroll through the replies will show some pretty solid answers—Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, and Keanu Reeves were all popular options. But, by far, Parton reigns the supreme. Her name, or likeness, appears in the replies far more than any other, and if you were to scroll through her tag at the moment of writing, every couple of tweets would be a reply to Alper’s. Twitter users are getting a kick out of her popularity, and the power of this one question to send the star’s name trending. “Who could be better?!” one user asked. “Honestly, no one is a better option than Dolly Parton lol,” someone replied, starting a thread. “She’s such a uniquely beautiful person inside and out! Couldn’t find a better person to represent us,” the first confirmed. So it seems the matter is settled. Trust has been placed in Parton to handle any mysterious extraterrestrial meetings, and I, for one, have nothing but respect for my representative of all mankind.
