Where there's smoke, there's fire.
If it's blue smoke, then it's likely to be coming from country music legend Dolly Parton, who arrives in Australia on Tuesday to promote her 42nd studio album.
The 68-year-old will kick off the first of her 11 Australian shows at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena, blending new material with classics like Jolene and Coat of Many Colours.
After almost 50 years in the music business, the singer says there are plenty more hits to come.
"I wake up every day with new dreams and new challenges to meet," she told Channel Seven.
The seven-time Grammy Award winner began The Blue Smoke world tour in Auckland, New Zealand, with her voice praised as being as strong as ever.
The singer also admitted she does whatever it takes to keep looking good.
"If I see something sagging, dragging or bagging, I'm going to have it nipped, tucked and sucked - whatever it takes."
