The country music icon sparked the hottest social media challenge of 2020 so far and now the footballing world has joined in.

We are only in the first month of the new but we already have a social media challenge sweeping the Internet. It is none other than the Dolly Parton Challenge.

The country music superstar sparked this latest trend after she posted four completely different pictures for four different social media platforms – LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Tinder. The 74-year-old icon joked about how profile images tend to differ across the four aforementioned platforms, with LinkedIn favoring the professional image, Facebook the lively one, Instagram the venturous one, and Tinder the seductive one. 

That Dolly Parton tweet blew up and garnered nearly 244K likes and 36.4K retweets at the time of writing this article. This thus sparked the #DollyPartonChallenge, with several popular names in the world of football hopping on this trend. Here are the best posts.

Chicharito

Jorge Jesus

Even the 65-year-old Jorge Jesus was not exempt from this challenge. However, the Copa Libertadores-winning manager isn't the only man who has lived over half-a-decade to make this list.

Sergio Aguero

Sergio Ramos

Ramos may not be one of the most loved players, but he definitely is one of the coolest active footballers. Every pictured oozed of swagger – almost every picture.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Not only can Aubameyang score for fun, but he can also flex. As Arsenal pointed out, he is the man the ladies tell you not to worry about!

Gary Lineker

Remember the other 50+ man to make this list? He is none other than Gary Lineker. MOTD posted this picture, which was funnier by the Englishman's response.

USWNT 

Phil Jones

Alright, this is not an official post by the player or the club but who else deserved to top this list but the man, the meme: Phil Jones. While the Man Utd defender can be proud of the LinkedIn picture, we can't say the same about the rest.
