Country music Hall of Famer Dolly Parton took the NFL Thanksgiving game’s halftime show by storm, dressed as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and performing her greatest hits on Thursday evening.

During the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show at the Dallas Cowboys-Washington Commanders game, the 77-year-old came out on stage dressed in the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit.

“Well hello, Texas! Dolly turns Dallas. You like my outfit? Hey Cowboys and Commanders, stop fighting long enough to sing along with me,” shouted Parton, before launching straight into a performance of her 1973 hit Jolene.

Before transitioning into a performance of her 1980 song 9 to 5, Parton called out to the audience, “Well I know everybody’s off eating turkey and dressing, and I know you ain’t working today, but I bet we got a lot of 9-to-5’ers out there! Am I right? I wrote a song for you.”

The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders then came out in front of the stage, where they performed with Parton for the rest of the show.

During the halftime show, Parton also performed several songs by Queen — We Are the Champions and We Will Rock You — before concluding the night with a “Happy Thanksgiving!” to cheers from the audience.
