No one does it like Dolly Parton. On November 23, the 77-year-old country music legend celebrated Thanksgiving by giving the halftime show performance of a lifetime during the Dallas Cowboys home game against the Washington Commanders at at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
In a video shared by the NFL on TikTok, you can see that Parton headlined the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show in a full Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders uniform, complete with the famous white hot pants, blue crop top, and matching star-spangled white vest, all of which she wore over a sparkling nude body suit. “She just keeps giving,” the NFL captioned one clip of Parton singing “9 to 5” with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. They also posted a video of Parton performing “Jolene.”

Honestly, it’s no wonder the Cowboys won the game 45—10. You just can’t lose in front of a legend like that when they’re wearing your colors. Just ask Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, who recently admitted to playing better with girlfriend Taylor Swift in his suite, asking his brother, “How can I not be?”

Needless to say, fans were obsessed with Dolly Parton’s performance and her look, which included her favored rhinestone-incrusted fingerless gloves.

Do we dare ask for a Dolly Parton Super Bowl Halftime show? “I’ve been offered that many times,” Parton recently told The Hollywood Reporter. “I couldn’t do it because of other things, or I just didn’t think I was big enough to do it—to do that big of a production. When you think about those shows, those are big, big productions. I’ve never done anything with that big of a production. I don’t know if I could have. I think at the time that’s what I was thinking.”
There’s still hope. With the release of her new album Rockstar, she says it would “make more sense.” My fingers are so crossed.
