77-year old Dolly Parton still got it, she can still captivate millions.
Parton proved as much Thursday, as she put on a dazzling halftime performance as the Dallas Cowboys took on the Washington Commanders on Thanksgiving.
The country legend wore a pair of teeny tiny white shorts, including a big silver buckle and blue Cowboys stars, for the occasion. She wore a matching fringed vest over a low-cut blue long sleeve. The star bared her midriff as she tied her top up in a traditional country fashion. Plus, her bare skin was covered in glittering gems as she rocked a bedazzled bodysuit.

She also sang “9 to 5” and did a rendition of Queen’s “We Are the Champions,” a possible tribute to the Texas Rangers, who won the World Series in November.
CBS commentator and former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo really seemed to enjoy Parton’s performance. Romo enjoyed it so much that Jim Nantz had to steer the conversation back to the game.

Fans were shocked as they praised her online. One wrote: “Hot Damn! Dolly Parton is totally rocking a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit at 77 years old!”
Another added some humor to the conversation, admitting they related to her age and were proud of her ability to still perform. They said: “I guess I got to be first to say it. Dolly Parton and a diaper. That was a performance for the AGES. Loved every song and every step she took and stayed up. GO Dolly. We are AARP 4 life.”
As search results for ‘Dolly Parton age’ surge, a fan laughed about the effect this moment will be having on Google. They said: “Loving Dolly Parton on Thanksgiving halftime. Would put the [over/under] at 70 of folks guessing her age and now looking it up on Wikipedia right now.”
