Dolly Parton suffered minor injuries after a car accident Monday afternoon, the Associated Press reported.

The 67-year-old "Jolene" singer was in a car crash she described as a "fender bender" around noon Monday in Nashville. Parton was treated for minor injuries and released.

She is reportedly at home recovering and tweeted later that day that she's "all good ... just a little tired and sore."

Parton was riding in an SUV that was hit by another vehicle, authorities said. Police said the driver of the other car failed to yield, according to Reuters.

The Country Music Hall of Fame singer and the two others involved were taken to local hospitals for treatment, but none of the injuries were serious, according to a news release.

Parton, who is known for such hits as "9 to 5" and "I Will Always Love You," most recently made headlines for her rapping performance on "The Queen Latifah Show."

The country superstar wore a skintight dress and pants combination, gold chains and a platinum blonde fro to perform the freestyle rap she wrote for Queen Latifah, Parade reported.

"I wanna talk to you about the queen," she rapped. "Now, Queen Latifah, she the queen of hip-hop, rap, TV and screen. Now she the queen of her own hood, but I'm the queen of Dollywood!"

Rife with cultural references, the rap implemented Honey Boo Boo, the cast of "Duck Dynasty" and Parton's famous goddaughter, Miley Cyrus.

"I'm working, I'm twerking!" she rapped. "Hey Miley, I have your wrecking balls right here!"

Latifah and Parton previously co-starred in 2012's "Joyful Noise," playing rival gospel singers from a small town in Georgia.
