On her birthday, here's a look back at the time in January 2020, when Dolly Parton took the internet by storm after she initiated the 'LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Tinder' meme challenge on social media. In the challenge, Dolly shared a four-photo mosaic of her potential profile photos for the mentioned social media sites. Sharing the same, she wrote, "Get you a woman who can do it all," adding a wink-face emoji. In no time, a slew of celebs from across the globe took up Dolly Parton's challenge and shared their collage on Instagram.
