Dolly Parton’s Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Uniform Has Everyone — Including Tony Romo — Riled Up

Dolly Parton transformed into a country-singing cheerleader during the Thanksgiving Day game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Commanders.

The 77-year-old hitmaker took the stage during the game’s halftime show on Thursday, November 23, performing her songs “Jolene” and “9 to 5” and a mashup of Queen’s “We Are the Champions” and “We Will Rock You”  while wearing the official Dallas Cowboys cheerleader uniform. 

Parton looked ageless as she shimmied and sang in the skin-baring ensemble, which featured a cobalt blue crop top paired with a white star-adorned fringe vest and tiny white shorts. Underneath, Parton donned a sparkly sheer bodysuit that was completed with a metallic star on her torso, giving the illusion of a belly button piercing. (Parton opted to not wear the cheerleaders’ signature white boots.) 

Parton accessorized with glittery dangling earrings complemented by a red lip and sky-blue eyeshadow. She wore her bouncy blonde mane in loose curls with shiny hair clips positioned at the crown of her head. 

“Hey Cowboys and Commanders, stop fighting and sing along with me,” Parton told the crowd as they broke out in cheers over her look.

While her vocals filled the stadium, it was her outfit that stirred fans everywhere — including former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo — into a frenzy. 

“Wow, that's pretty good. She looks amazing,” Romo said while giggling and blushing before Parton’s halftime show. “She’s wonderful. Who doesn’t like Dolly Parton?” 

Sportscaster Jim Nantz — who appeared alongside Romo in the broadcast — agreed, sharing, “She is absolutely an American treasure, that’s for sure.” 

Viewers have since taken to X (formerly Twitter), praising Parton’s get up.
