Dolly Parton to perform at halftime of the Dallas Cowboys game on Thanksgiving Day

FRISCO (CBSNewsTexas.com) – The Dallas Cowboys announced Monday morning that country star Dolly Parton will take the stage for the Thanksgiving halftime show.

A video announcement showed Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders bedazzling footballs, jerseys and helmets followed by Parton saying, "I'll see y'all this Thanksgiving!"

The halftime show is the opening act for The Salvation Army and its Red Kettle Kickoff fundraising campaign.

This will be the second event Parton will perform at in North Texas this year – in May, she co-hosted the Academy of Country Music Awards at The Star in Frisco alongside Garth Brooks.

The Cowboys will face the Washington Commanders Nov. 23 on CBS at 3:30 p.m.
