Sydney Sweeney Channels Dolly Parton In Promo For New Film ‘Americana’
If that’s Jolene, I can see why Dolly was worried. Sydney Sweeney is obviously one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood right now, both literally and figuratively. The blonde bombshell from shows like “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus” recently made headlines – and stirred controversy – for her American Eagle ad campaign in which she makes a joke about her “great jeans.” The ads sent the woke mob into a spiral of calling the commercial a “Nazi dog whistle,” because […] The post Sydney Sweeney Channels Dolly Parton In Promo For New Film ‘Americana’ first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Sydney Sweeney is obviously one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood right now, both literally and figuratively. The blonde bombshell from shows like “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus” recently made headlines – and stirred controversy – for her American Eagle ad campaign in which she makes a joke about her “great jeans.”
The ads sent the woke mob into a spiral of calling the commercial a “Nazi dog whistle,” because apparently saying she has great jeans is code for “great genes,” which is code for white. Pure insanity.
But that’s not the only ad campaign Sweeney’s been a part of recently that’s turning heads.
This past Friday, the latest project from the actress dropped, a crime thriller called Americana that stars Sweeney as aspiring country star Penny Jo Poplin.
And ahead of the film’s release, Sweeney channeled Dolly Parton to recreate an iconic album cover for the promo shoot.
The poster features Sweeney in the style of Dolly’s Jolene album cover from 1974:
And she’s not the only one throwing it back to some classic country photos. Paul Walter Hauser recreated Willie Nelson’s iconic Red Headed Stranger album cover.
Simon Rex decided to go a little more recent with his tribute to Chris Stapleton and his From A Room: Volume 2 album cover from 2017.
Halsey, meanwhile, posed for a nod to the Man in Black with a recreation of Johnny Cash’s The Legend of Johnny Cash cover.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t know anything about the movie until these posters were released, but now I’m intrigued, so they clearly reached their target audience. And it’s great to see Hollywood paying tribute to some classic country music.
Donald Trump Praises Sydney Sweeney
BIG Sydney Sweeney guy.
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump voiced his support for Sydney Sweeney and her controversial American Eagle ad, which is a pretty ridiculous sentence when you think about it but here we are.
Sweeney, of course, has been under fire for the ad featuring the blonde bombshell making a joke about her “great jeans,” which sent the woke mob into a spiral of calling the commercial a “Nazi dog whistle,” because apparently saying she has great jeans is code for “great genes,” which is code for white.
Like I said, it’s pretty ridiculous.
Luckily American Eagle stood by the ad, releasing a statement defending themselves even as lunatics accused them of promoting white supremacy and eugenics:
“‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.”
And that’s how companies should stand up to these ridiculous smear campaigns these days: Mock them like the jokes that they are. A few years ago though, it seems like companies were quick to bend the knee and beg for forgiveness from the mob out of fear of losing business. Luckily the tide has turned, and it seems like standing up to the crazies actually ends up helping your business. Oh how things have changed…
Over the weekend though, the criticism from the fringe only intensified after the woke mob dug what they reported to be Sydney Sweeney’s voter registration, which allegedly shows her registering as a Republican in Florida back in 2024.
Naturally that sent the online mob after her once again, despite the fact that she’s never said anything remotely political and is one of the most popular actresses in the country.
It’s not the first time that Sweeney has had to deal with people digging in to try to figure out her political views. Back in 2022, the actress posted some photos and videos from her mother’s 60th birthday party, and folks online spotted some people in the background wearing MAGA-style hats that said “Make Sixty Great Again.”
Once again, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds.
Sweeney stood firm against the criticism then too, telling everybody to calm down and stop making a political statement over a goofy hat:
“You guys this is wild. An innocent celebration for my moms milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Please stop making assumptions.”
You guys this is wild. An innocent celebration for my moms milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Please stop making assumptions. Much love to everyone
and Happy Birthday Mom!

And while she may once again be under fire from some on the far left, she’s got the support of the President of the United States.
President Donald Trump was asked about the ad by reporters, and after finding out she’s a Republican, it turns out he’s a big fan of it:
“She’s a registered Republican? Oh, now I love her ad. Is that right, is Sydney Sweeney? You’d be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That one I wouldn’t have known, but I’m glad you told me that.
If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.”
