Dolly Parton Halftime Show 2023

Following the launch of her latest album, "Rockstar," the country music sensation graced the stage at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. She performed at The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show as part of the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game against the Washington Commanders.

In her dynamic performance, the legendary singer sported a rendition of the Cowboys' cheerleader uniform. This outfit included a white vest adorned with blue stars, a revealing blue crop top, and white shorts. Despite the illusion of a bare midriff, her stomach was intricately covered by a fully bedazzled mesh. A crystal star adorned Parton's belly button, and additional crystals adorned the tights she wore.

Parton opened the halftime show with her cherished track "Jolene," smoothly transitioning into another timeless hit, "9 to 5." Additionally, she treated the audience to her rendition of Queen's "We Are the Champions."

Last month, it was revealed that Parton would be the halftime performer for this year's Thanksgiving Day game. In a press statement, she expressed that being associated with The Salvation Army for the event was deemed "an honor."

"Those Red Kettles have long been a symbol of hope for our friends and neighbors who are facing hard times," she said at the time. "My goal is to encourage everyone who can to donate and support their neighbors in need. Every small act of generosity helps, and together, we can all love our neighbors this holiday season and beyond."

The singer-songwriter revealed her newest album, "Rockstar," on November 17. This extensive 30-track collection comprises a mix of covers, original compositions, and collaborations with notable artists such as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Pink, Brandi Carlile, Melissa Etheridge, Sting, and more.
