Dolly Parton Plays NFL Halftime Show As A Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, Sings Iconic Hits

When you got it, you got it. And Dolly Parton still has it. The country legend and reluctant recent Rock & Roll Hall of Famer performed today at halftime of the NFL game between the Washington Commanders and host Dallas Cowboys and brought the billion-dollar house down with a three-song, six-minute concert.

Riding her just-released rock double album Rockstar, the veteran singer-songwriter began with a pitch for the Salvation Army before playing two of her signature hits and a newly revamped Queen classic.

Parton began with “Jolene,” her iconic plea to a man-stealing, auburn-haired vixen that features the signature line “please don’t take him just because you can.” It’s the track’s golden anniversary this month, having first hit the country chart in November 1973 before going to No.
