Summary
The University of Tennessee paid tribute to Dolly Parton with “My Tennessee Mountain Home” during two college football games in 2026. The song replaced “The Way I Talk” by Morgan Wallen, which had been used since 2024. After a game against Texas, the fourth-quarter song was not played, and the university did not explain the change. Fans criticized the shift, with some calling it less hype. The team will play again, and it remains unclear if the tribute will continue.
