The halftime show at the Cowboys' Thanksgiving game has featured a variety of performers over the years, but maybe none have been as popular as this year’s choice, Dolly Parton. The country music star appeared to be the right selection to sing for America during the holiday, as fans had nothing but love for her.
Parton sang hit songs "Jolene" and "9 to 5," along with covers of Queen’s "We Are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You," all of which were popular among fans. Social media praised Parton throughout the performance for putting on a show in front of America.

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.
Most fans preferred Parton to Jack Harlow, who performed at halftime of the Lions game to less than stellar reviews. While Harlow was criticized for a low-key show, Parton garnered praise for living up to the hype.
There is one more game to go on Thanksgiving, and Steve Aoki is scheduled to perform at halftime of 49ers-Seahawks. However, he is unlikely to match the love that Parton received.
