Dolly Parton, the 77-year-old country music icon, surprised fans during the Thanksgiving Day game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Commanders by performing a halftime show in the official Dallas Cowboys cheerleader uniform. She sang her hit songs "Jolene" and "9 to 5" along with a mashup of Queen's "We Are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You."
Dolly Parton looked timeless as she danced and sang in a revealing outfit. She wore a cobalt blue crop top with a white fringe vest and white shorts. She also wore a sparkly sheer bodysuit with a metallic star on her torso, mimicking a belly button piercing. Instead of the cheerleaders' white boots, she opted not to wear them. Parton completed the look with dangling earrings, a red lip, and sky-blue eyeshadow. Her hair was styled in loose curls with shiny hair clips at the crown of her head.

"Attention Cowboys and Commanders, let's put the fighting on hold and join me in a song," Parton announced to the enthusiastic crowd.
As her melodic voice resonated throughout the stadium, it was her attire that ignited excitement among fans, even catching the attention of former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.
“Wow, that’s impressive. She looks absolutely stunning,” exclaimed Romo with a giggle and a blush as he watched Parton’s halftime show. “She’s truly remarkable. Who doesn’t love Dolly Parton?”
Jim Nantz, the sportscaster who appeared with Romo in the broadcast, also agreed, saying, "She is definitely an American treasure." Since then, viewers have gone to X (formerly Twitter) to praise Parton's outfit.
