Elle King took the Extra Innings Festival stage for the first time since her drunken performance at Dolly Parton’s birthday celebration.
The 34-year-old singer and daughter of Rob Schneider seemed in complete control as she belted out her signature country songs at the annual concert in Tempe, Arizona, on Saturday.
Dressed in a bright red top and matching snakeskin miniskirt, the singer kept a bottle of water next to her on stage and “had several drinks during her performance,” according to TMZ.
In a cute clip from the show posted to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards’ Instagram, Elle showed off her megawatt smile and flaunted her recent weight loss.
The concert comes after Dolly Parton’s event at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, where Elle slurred and said the F-word several times during the performance, before admitting onstage that she was “banged.”
Elle King took the stage at the Extra Innings Festival for the first time since her drunken performance at Dolly Parton’s birthday celebration.
The 34-year-old singer and daughter of Rob Schneider seemed in complete control as she belted out her signature country songs at the annual concert in Tempe, Arizona, on Saturday.
“We deeply regret and apologize for the language used during the Opry’s second performance last night,” the venue said in an apology statement. F
The apology was attached to a tweet from an upset fan, who wrote: “Elle King ruined the night with her horrible, drunken, profane performance.” Dolly Parton would have been mortified.
A TikTok video of @auctioneergirl showed King performing Parton’s 2001 song Marry Me, when she seemed to forget the lyrics.
Instead, he sang, “I don’t know the words to these things in this damn town… Don’t tell Dolly ’cause it’s her birthday.”
Then he apparently started getting angry at fans, saying, ‘Did you spend money on this s**t?’
After a fan started yelling at her, King openly stated that she was drunk on stage, which did not sit well with fans.
‘You won’t get your money back. I’ll tell you one more thing: “Hi, my name is Elle King (and) I’m f—ing f—ed,” she said on stage.
While King has not addressed that performance, he has spoken about his drinking in the past, insisting that he can control it.
‘I really like to drink and sing. “I don’t want to get as drunk as I used to,” King said in a 2022 interview.

“It’s easier for me to say, ‘Yeah, I want to drink and have fun and (then) go on stage.’ I get nervous before I go on stage, (so) I have a couple of drinks (first),’ she said.
‘Drinking makes me less nervous about hitting the notes when I sing. If I don’t do them, I don’t itch as much,’ he clarified.
King released her first single, Good to Be a Man, in 2012, with her first album, The Elle King LP, released that year, when Esquire named her an Artist to Watch.
While King began his career as a rock artist, with his 2014 smash hit Ex’s and Oh’s, he completely switched to country music with his third album, 2023’s Come Get Your Wife.
