Dolly Parton stole the show on Thanksgiving with her halftime performance during the Dallas Cowboys-Washington Commanders game.
The Cowboys blew out the Commanders in a 45-10 affair at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Parton was able to spice up what was developing into a dull affair on the gridiron.
Parton dressed up in a Cowboys cheerleader outfit and performed four songs. She sang her hit singles “Jolene” and "9 to 5," and covered two Queen songs, “We Are The Champions” and “We Will Rock You.”
The 77-year-old performed exceptionally well for her age – and fans noticed. Parton got all kinds of kudos from online observers on X.
One fan even appeared to chime in from AT&T Stadium. Parton’s halftime show was likely just as good, if not better in person.
Even Tony Romo couldn’t get enough of Parton. The CBS announcer was gushing about her performance to broadcast partner Jim Nantz before the start of the second half.
Parton started finding success in the country music scene in the late 1960s and has remained a national icon ever since.
The fact that she’s still going strong decades later left more than a few fans impressed.
