Country music icon Dolly Parton took center stage at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, headlining The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show during the Thanksgiving Day game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Commanders.
Dolly Parton’s NFL Thanksgiving Show:
Despite being 77 years old, Dolly Parton proved her timeless allure as she delivered a mesmerizing halftime performance at the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving game against the Washington Commanders.
For her dynamic show, the legendary singer donned a variation of the Cowboys’ cheerleader uniform, sporting a white vest adorned with blue stars, a revealing blue crop top, and white shorts. While her attire seemingly showcased a bare midriff, it was actually embellished with a bedazzled mesh that covered her belly. Adorned with crystal accents, a star sparkled over Parton’s belly button, while her tights were also embellished with shimmering crystals.
Kicking off the halftime extravaganza with her timeless hit “Jolene,” she seamlessly transitioned to another classic, “9 to 5,” and also treated the audience to her rendition of Queen’s anthem “We Are the Champions.”
Dolly Parton’s participation as this year’s Thanksgiving Day halftime performer was announced earlier, with the singer expressing her honor in partnering with The Salvation Army in a press statement.

My goal is to encourage everyone who can to donate and support their neighbors in need. Every small act of generosity helps, and together, we can all love our neighbors this holiday season and beyond.”
