Here’s everything you need to know about the new ‘Dolly Parton Challenge’

Each week there’s a new viral trend or challenge that’s making its way across the internet. The most recent challenge that's got everyone talking is the the LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Tinder meme that was kicked off by the one and only Dolly Parton. How did it start? The challenge started when country singer Dolly Parton posted a collage of four pictures with the captions “LinkedIn”, “Facebook”, “Instagram” and “Tinder” on her Instagram page. For LinkedIn, she opted for a photo of herself in a buttoned up blazer, while for Facebook she chose a picture of herself wearing a Christmas jumper. For Instagram, the singer went for a trendy black and white image in which she is leaning against a wall with a guitar and, finally, for her Tinder picture, she chose a picture of herself in a Playboy bunny costume.
