Fans defend Dolly Parton for wearing Dallas Cowboys outfit.
Dolly Parton reminded fans that age is just a number after performing at halftime in her iconic Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit.
The 77-year-old country music legend played Thursday at the NFL game between the Washington Commanders and the host Dallas Cowboys. Before the Thanksgiving game, Parton took the field and performed Queen’s “Jolene,” “9 to 5” and “We Are the Champions.”
While Parton gave a great performance, her fun Dallas Cowboys costume seemed to grab everyone’s attention. The singer wore a modified version of the classic cheerleading outfit at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. His look included the team’s blue crop top, white star vest and matching white shorts. Underneath the top and shorts, Parton wore a sheer and adorable suit.
After the halftime show, fans immediately took to social media to share their thoughts on Parton’s memorable fashion moment. “If there’s one thing we can count on in this world, it’s that Dolly will look and perform amazing before she takes to the skies,” one fan wrote on Page X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Do you know who the national treasure is?” #DollyParton. “Who are you?” another fan said. But it didn’t take long for some online trolls to criticize her Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit. “Some people criticize Dolly for being 77 and not acting like an old lady,” said one user.
Many people praised Parton for dressing like this despite her age.
“Dolly Parton is 77 years old and wears whatever she wants. I really like it,” said one fan.
“Dolly Parton looks better at 77 than I ever have,” wrote another. Some fans even noted CBS commentator and former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo’s reaction to Parton’s performance after the halftime show. “He looked great,” Romo said during the NFL telecast. He is great. Who doesn’t love Dolly Parton?
Throughout her career, the country music icon has been known for her unforgettable fashion looks, from her rhinestone jackets to her voluminous blonde locks. Parton recently revealed that early in her career, she was asked to “demolish” her style.
Part 4 What Will Dolly Do? Speaking on Apple Music and Apple Podcasts, she revealed that her “dear friend” and fellow musician Chet Atkins once suggested she film an appearance. “He said, ‘Dolly, I don’t think people are going to take you seriously as a singer-songwriter if you don’t tone it down,'” Parton said when she hosted Kelly Bannen. “I was like, ‘Okay. I’ll keep that in mind, Mr. Atkins. Thank you for the advice. Of course, that made me feel worse.
“Years later, after I became a star, he sat next to me and said, ‘Aren’t you glad you took my good advice?'” he said. When asked what she would say to someone today if Bannen changed her look, Parton responded appropriately: “I said, ‘Fuck you!’ what will i say I won’t do it. ”
The “I Will Always Love You” singer said that “the person who makes you happy” should have their own style.
“My true belief about a lot of things is that you have to know who you really are, what makes you happy, what makes you comfortable. And if you feel like you look your best by following your own rules, then you’re right. It’s you. I’ll do my best can for you.” Parton said. “I really believe that. I think everyone has their own little things that they like. “That’s what fashion is to me.”
