Move over Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, Dolly Parton is here.

The country music icon and Tennessee native performed during the halftime show for the Thanksgiving Day game between the Cowboys and the Washington Commanders on Thursday. Parton was dressed in an iconic Cowboys cheerleader uniform, complete with a star-studded white vest, white short shorts and a star belly button embellishment.

Parton, 77, performed a medley of her greatest hits on a stage constructed in the middle of the Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium, including “Jolene” and “9 to 5.” She also sang Queen’s “We Are The Champions” and “We Will Rock You.”

“Happy Thanksgiving everybody,” Parton said after her halftime show.

Parton has had a busy week. On Saturday, she sang “Rocky Top” during Tennessee football’s 38-10 loss to Georgia. She was escorted on the field by fellow Tennessee icon Peyton Manning.

“I couldn’t hear because my sound went out and the stadium was so loud,” Parton said after the game. “But I was so honored to be here, and I love Peyton, I love the crowd. It’s just good to be home.”
