Karoline Leavitt on Thursday posted a video of herself stepping into the White House on the last day of her work as Press Secretary.

Set to Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" song, she shared a video of her arrival with "Last Day. Working 6-8, not 9-5" written on it.

She posted the video a day after flags across the United States flew at half-staff as grieving fans paid tribute to the late country music star and beloved cultural icon Dolly Parton. 

Earlier this month, President Trump said White House press secretary ​Karoline Leavitt will leave her role at the end of the month.

Leavitt will be an outside communications adviser and party operative shaping the future contours of Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement, she and Trump said in statements.

In a social media post, Leavitt, 28, said she aimed to spend more ​time with her young children. She gave birth to a daughter, her second child, in May and recently returned from ​maternity leave.

"Karoline has been a real leader in the White House, and has done a phenomenal job ⁠fighting for Justice, Liberty, and Freedom, since 2018, including our Historic Re-Election Campaign of 2024," Trump said in a social media post, ​calling Leavitt "one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the History of the Office."

Leavitt called her role at the White House "the honor ​and adventure of a lifetime."
