The Country icon took to the stage during a halftime show at a recent NFL game

Dolly Parton left onlookers in awe after putting on a show-stopping display during a half-time performance at an NFL match.

American Football outfits the Commanders took on the Cowboys in Dallas, Texas on Thursday and Parton was on hand to provide the entertainment at half-time.


Parton took to the stage to sing a number of her classic hits, including Jolene, and 9 to 5.

She even treated the sold-out crows at the AT&T Stadium to a rendition of Queen smash-hits We Are the Champions and We Will Rock You.

While Parton's vocals were enough to get the crowd roaring, others were blown away by how fabulous the 77-year-old looked as she donned a cheerleader-inspired ensemble.

Parton took the stage in a pair of skimpy white shorts emblazoned with blue stars.

She teamed up the shorts with a royal blue top and tiny jacket, again complete with the blue and white stars synonymous with the Cowboys.

Inevitably, it didn't take long for fans watching at home to flood social media with their plaudits for the iconic singer.

Perez Hilton was just one who said on X, formerly Twitter: "And the winner of #Thanksgiving day football is #DollyParton!

"The 77-year-old international treasure dazzled her halftime show performance with this twist on the iconic #Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit. My grandmother could never!"

The praise kept on coming with a second commenting: "@DollyParton — Legendary and absolutely FABULOUS," followed by a love heart emoji.

And a third echoed: "Look at Dolly Parton showing off at 77 years old. Who doesn't love this lady? #GoDolly."

"You know who’s a national treasure? #DollyParton. That’s who," a fourth said while a fifth concurred: "Dolly Parton is 77 and wearing whatever the hell she wants. I love her."

Even pundits Tony Romo and Jim Nantz, who were providing their thoughts on US network CBS, were stopped in their tracks by the performance.

Romo teased his co-star: "You said, 'I think she's going to go with a little cheerleading outfit tonight', and I was like, 'Wow, pretty good'."

Even when Nantz tried to move, Romo continued to focus on Parton as he remarked: "I mean, she looks amazing, right?

"She's wonderful. Who doesn't like Dolly Parton?"
