Parton, 77, sang “Jolene,” “9 to 5” and a cover of Queen’s “We Will Rock You”/”We Are the Champions” during the Thanksgiving Day game at the stadium in Arlington, Texas.
“I am just so excited to be performing live at AT&T Stadium today to celebrate the launch of the Red Kettle Campaign,” Parton said Thursday in a statement regarding her partnership with the Salvation Army.
“There are so many people who need our help this holiday season and I am honored to shine a light on all the wonderful services The Salvation Army provides to help our neighbors in need.”
The Cowboys won 45 to 10.
