Belying her age with a daring outfit, country icon Dolly Parton sent the crowd wild at the halftime show of the Commanders-Cowboys game in Dallas on Thanksgiving.

The 77-year-old took center stage in a small blue and white top, and mini shorts, at AT&T Stadium with the Cowboys leading 20-10 against Washington, at the break, on Thursday. 

She sang two hits, ‘Jolene’ and ‘9 to 5’, and belt out ‘We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You’.

Fans were blown away by her short live performance, with Undisputed’s Skip Bayless the first on X to praise Parton.

‘How ’bout that Dolly Parton,’ the sports analyst tweeted. ‘Talk about dressing for the occasion. Now that is is impressive.’

‘Dolly Parton is a queen,’ a fan of the musical artist also shared.

‘Hey @DollyParton We See You. We love you,’ shared another.

A minority of individuals weren’t impressed with the NFL choosing Parton to perform at one of three Thanksgiving shows, this year, as one of them wrote on X: ‘Just when you think it can’t get worse. 

‘Dolly Parton is miming REALLY BAD.’ 

Parton’s live performance was a far cry from Jack Harlow’s, as the majority of fans at the Green Bay Packers’ upset win against rival, the Detroit Lions, were unimpressed by the rapper’s halftime appearance.

To round out America’s annual fall holiday, DJ Steve Aoki will perform during halftime of the late-night matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers.

The Commanders-Cowboys rivalry has been a common theme on Thanksgiving Day, as it has been played 10 times in the past. 

Dallas won eight of those games.

The most recent turkey-day game between both NFC teams was a 41-16 win for Washington in 2020.
