The 76-year-old posted a further five videos on her new profile, including a compilation of her introducing herself and a montage of fans performing to her songs or dressing up as her.
"Looks like I missed a lot! You all are so creative. Now that I’m here, tag me! #heyitsdolly #dollytok," she wrote in the latter caption.
Only one clip features new footage, with Dolly directly telling fans: "Hey y'all, it's Dolly Parton. I've officially joined TikTok so hit that follow button and stay tuned for more."
