Dolly Parton, 77, wows in Dallas Cowboys cheerleader uniform at halftime show
This Thanksgiving, Dolly Parton took on the roles of a rockstar and a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
During the holiday game between the Cowboys and the Washington Commanders on November 23, the halftime show was performed by a 77-year-old individual who wore the famous cheerleader attire of the Texas team. This outfit consisted of a blue top with a low neckline, accompanied by a white short vest and shorts adorned with stars.
"Hello Cowboys and Commanders, let's put an end to our fuss and sing together," stated Parton, following her inquiry to the audience about their thoughts on her updated appearance.
The celebrated icon of country music initially gained popularity with the release of "Jolene" in 1973, and then followed it up with another successful track titled "9 to 5". The latter song was performed with the accompaniment of the cheerleaders from the Cowboys' team.
The cheerleaders remained on the field and performed together with Parton in singing Queen's "We Are The Champions/We Will Rock You," which is also included in her latest album in the rock genre.
The performance at halftime takes place within a week of Parton's release of "Rockstar," which is her very first rock music album. This occurred on the 17th of November, following her established success of being a renowned country vocalist for over half a century.
Parton's newest album consists of a total of 30 tracks. Out of these tracks, nine have been created by Parton herself, while 21 of them are covers of songs from the rock genre. These covers feature some of the most prestigious musicians such as Sting, Steven Tyler, Stevie Nicks, Debbie Harry, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, among others.
Within the thirty-song soundtrack, she graced us with her own interpretation of popular hits such as "Purple Rain," "Wrecking Ball," "Heart of Glass," "Stairway to Heaven," "Heartbreaker," and "Let It Be."
Before performing at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Thursday evening, Dolly Parton discussed aging in the entertainment industry during her appearance on “The Howard Stern Show,” which was made available on November 16th. At the age of 77, she spoke candidly about the changes she has observed in the industry.
While she is vocal about her cosmetic surgeries, Parton informed Stern that she is aware of the dangers linked with these procedures.
According to Parton, it is essential to exercise caution when undergoing surgical procedures due to the uncertainty surrounding the outcome. One can never be sure of how they will appear after the surgery since any surgical operation poses some level of risk.
"You can never predict the way in which your body will recover," she added. "It's crucial that you seek out the top-rated, most renowned medical professionals if you are considering any facial procedures in order to achieve the best possible outcome," she advised.
Dolly Parton emphasized the importance of being cautious when it comes to making alterations to one's face as opposed to other parts of the body, which can be more easily concealed. She recommends making small changes gradually rather than undergoing drastic transformations all at once.
When it comes to her most recent treatments, Parton expressed that she generally favors remedies such as Botox and Juvéderm, but only as a last resort.
"Moreover, I make an effort to be cautious," she included.
