Dazzling Dolly Dons Dallas Cheerleader Duds, Delighting Devotees
Leave it to our beloved Dolly to bring some rhinestone razzle-dazzle to the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day game. The glamorous country queen captivated the crowd when she emerged at halftime dressed to impress in a curve-hugging white and blue cheerleader uniform. With her signature platinum locks flowing, the 77-year-old icon wowed fans with renditions of her smash hits “9 to 5” and “Jolene” as well as a show-stopping cover of Queen’s “We Are the Champions.”
Ever the glamazon, Dolly’s custom Cowboys cheer costume was pure showbiz spectacle. Her cropped jacket and booty shorts ensemble, splashed with the team’s signature star logo, was accentuated by a bedazzled bodysuit peeking through. Silver fringe and tasseled white boots completed the flashy look. As she belted out her empowering lyrics with her trademark vocal prowess, Dolly proved she can still bring down the house after over 50 years in the business.
While some online commenters criticized Dolly’s sexy skirt as inappropriate for her age, others—including the star’s outspoken sister Stella Parton—rallied to her defense. “I personally thought my big sister Dolly was cute as hell in her Dallas Cowboys cheerleading costume at the half time show on Thanksgiving,” Stella proclaimed on social media on November 26. “To those of you being so critical of a 77 year old kicking up her heels, I say f–k yourself. Shame on you not her.”
Stella’s sentiments echoed the overwhelming positive response from adoring fans, who flooded Twitter and Instagram with praise for Dolly’s ageless spirit and unmatched talent. “Dolly looked fabulous! I can only hope to look half that good at 77,” one enthused, while another agreed, “Your sister KILLED it in that Dallas Cowboy cheerleader outfit! She had fun and looked damned good!”
Far from fading away, our glitzy girl Dolly remains at the peak of her powers. This dazzling halftime extravaganza surely squashed any previous doubts that she could hold her own among younger pop performers on one of music’s biggest stages. Recall that the humble hitmaker admitted to The Hollywood Reporter that she once felt she “couldn’t do” the Super Bowl halftime show, doubting she was “big enough” for such an enormous production.
But after stopping the show with her flawless NFL debut, could a sparkly Super Bowl spectacle be in Dolly’s future? With her stellar pipes and ageless aura, she would be the perfect pick for the 2025 halftime lineup. And you know our rhinestone cowgirl would pull out all the stops with a glitzy, boot-kicking performance full of flash and sass.
In the meantime, hats off to the glamorous grand dame of country music for showing the world she’s still got it. Dolly dazzled on Thanksgiving, proving she can work a crowd as well as she works a fringe-trimmed miniskirt. Here’s to many more show-stopping moments ahead!
