The halftime show during Thanksgiving games has seen its fair share of memorable moments, from Creed\u2019s controversial 2001 performance to Dolly Parton\u2019s recent iconic show at AT&T Stadium, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.<\/p>\n
Dolly Parton, the 77-year-old legend, wowed the audience with her energy and stage presence, dressed in a Cowboys cheerleader uniform as she kicked off her set with the classic hit \u201cJolene.\u201d Her subsequent performance of several other hits captivated viewers, with many in awe of her age-defying vitality, particularly following Jack Harlow\u2019s halftime act in Detroit, which received a lukewarm response.<\/p>\n
Although her choice to perform \u201cWe Are the Champions\u201d for the Cowboys raised a few eyebrows, given the team\u2019s lack of playoff success in recent history, Parton\u2019s overall show garnered positive reviews.<\/p>\n
CBS commentator and former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo couldn\u2019t contain his admiration for Parton, expressing his delight at her performance and universally appealing charm. Even the ever-passionate Cowboys supporter, Skip Bayless, found himself appreciating Parton\u2019s outfit choice during the show.<\/p>\n
Fans flooded social media with praises for Parton, recognizing her ageless talent and entertaining presence, leading some to jokingly suggest her candidacy for president.<\/p>\n
Comparisons between Parton\u2019s impressive show and Harlow\u2019s halftime performance in Detroit inevitably surfaced, with the latter receiving a less favorable reception.<\/p>\n
Beyond her captivating performance, Parton\u2019s charitable act shone through as she announced a $1 million donation to the Salvation Army, the halftime show\u2019s sponsor as part of its Red Kettle Campaign, highlighting the philanthropic aspect of her appearance.<\/p>\n
Parton\u2019s recent appearances, including her rendition of \u201cRocky Top\u201d at Neyland Stadium during a Tennessee football game against No. 1 Georgia, align with her ongoing promotion of her rock album \u201cRockstar,\u201d where she covers various legendary rock songs, showcasing her versatility and enduring passion for music across different genres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
