WATCH: Dolly Parton shines during Thanksgiving halftime show, dresses as Dallas Cowboys cheerleader
Country music legend Dolly Parton stole the show during halftime of Thursday’s game between the Cowboys and the Washington Commanders.
Dressed as a member of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading team, Parton captivated both the AT&T Stadium crowd and national viewers. Parton performed her hits “Jolene,” “9 to 5” and Queen’s “We Are the Champions.” Before the game, Charlotte Jones, the Cowboys’ executive vice president and chief brand officer, announced that Parton had donated $1 million to the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign, which kicked off with Thursday’s game.
Parton’s donation earned praise from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. This year marks the 27th year Cowboy has partnered with the Salvation Army. During this period more than 3 billion dollars were collected.
“If the Cowboys played at a professional place like the Salvation Army and helped Dallas because the money that’s given here stays here … if we could do that, we’d win a Super Bowl every year,” Jones said. , via NBC 5 in Dallas. Thursday night’s performance capped off a busy week for Parton, who released her new album on November 17. His play was limited in the second half by quarterback Dak Prescott and receiver C.D. It may be more memorable than the actual play the Cowboys took after another big play by Lamb.
