Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Music legend Dolly Parton donned the signature white short shorts, blue bra top and white vest of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders when she performed at the 27th annual Red Kettle Kickoff halftime show of the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders game Thursday.

Parton, 77, sang "Jolene," "9 to 5" and a cover of Queen's "We Will Rock You"/"We Are the Champions" during the Thanksgiving Day game at the stadium in Arlington, Texas.

"I am just so excited to be performing live at AT&T Stadium today to celebrate the launch of the Red Kettle Campaign," Parton said Thursday in a statement regarding her partnership with the Salvation Army.
