The Dallas Cowboys maintained their longstanding practice of playing on Thanksgiving. However, this time, it was the halftime performance that captured widespread attention.
A 77-year-old country music icon delivered a memorable show during the break in the game between the Cowboys and the Washington Commanders.
The country music star took center stage at midfield, donning the renowned outfit of the Cowboys cheerleaders, and performed a selection of her popular songs.
She sang her famous tracks "Jolene" and "9 to 5," and also presented her unique version of "We Are The Champions" originally by Queen.

Less than a week prior, Parton made another appearance on a football field, this time alongside NFL legend Peyton Manning during Tennessee's match against the top-ranked team from Georgia.
At the conclusion of the first quarter, Parton led the audience in a spirited rendition of "Rocky Top."
"Well, I couldn’t hear, but I love the song!" Parton said after her performance, according to WATE 6 in Knoxville. "I just want you to know how proud I am to be here and thank you so much for taking special attention to do whatever we do. And I had a little trouble with hearing, but we know "Rocky Top," and that song was written by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, and Dale. Their son is in the stadium tonight. So I guess we’ll play ball! Thank you!"
Parton's Thursday show coincided with the Cowboys' dominant victory over the Commanders, a win that improved Dallas' season record to 8-3.
