Dolly Parton stole the show on Thanksgiving with her halftime performance during the Dallas Cowboys-Washington Commanders game.

The Cowboys blew out the Commanders in a 45-10 affair at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Parton was able to spice up what was developing into a dull affair on the gridiron.

Parton dressed up in a Cowboys cheerleader outfit and performed four songs. She sang her hit singles “Jolene” and "9 to 5," and covered two Queen songs, “We Are The Champions” and “We Will Rock You.”

The 77-year-old performed exceptionally well for her age – and fans noticed. Parton got all kinds of kudos from online observers on X.

We all know that Dolly Parton is both a boss and the GOAT. The fact that she's 77 is just icing on the cake. May she bless us for many years to come with her kindness, her generosity, and her (still amazing) voice. Thank you, Dolly! We love you! pic.twitter.com/zYrIGkJtke

Dolly Parton is 77-years old and is currently absolutely knocking out a blow out half time show in a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader costume.

We must protect her with all of
our national security apparatus.

Can we just talk about Miss Dolly Parton’s performance? She is beautiful inside and out and this performance is the best that I’ve seen in a long time. #DollyParton pic.twitter.com/3dCnn203p9

One fan even appeared to chime in from AT&T Stadium. Parton’s halftime show was likely just as good, if not better in person.

Wow this is actually Dolly Parton….she’s 77 years old and looks amazing!

Even Tony Romo couldn’t get enough of Parton. The CBS announcer was gushing about her performance to broadcast partner Jim Nantz before the start of the second half.
