Dolly Parton, the iconic singer and performer, brought her dazzling talent to the NFL stage this Thanksgiving. She graced the halftime show of the Dallas Cowboys’ home game against the Washington Commanders in a spectacular performance celebrating the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle kickoff. And she did it in style, donning the outfit of one of Texas’ biggest supporters – the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
Instead of sporting a traditional football player attire, Dolly chose to dress as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. She stepped onto the stage at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium wearing a cropped, long-sleeved blue shirt under a white vest adorned with cobalt blue stars, perfectly complementing her white shorts. To complete her look, she wore a sheer, bedazzled mesh bodysuit under her garments and her signature voluminous blonde curls.
Dolly’s performance on November 23 included two of her iconic songs, “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” followed by a stunning cover of the legendary rock band Queen’s “We Are The Champions.” It was a captivating display that showcased her unmatched talent and undying energy.
Despite being one of the most beloved performers in the music industry, Dolly has never graced the Super Bowl Halftime Show – one of football’s biggest stages. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she explained that various factors prevented her from taking on such a massive production. However, her Thanksgiving halftime performance proved that she is still at the peak of her rockin’ years.
While we eagerly await the day Dolly takes the Super Bowl stage, which might not happen until 2025 with Usher already set to perform at the 2024 game, let us relish in the joy of her recent Thanksgiving NFL performance.
