Dolly Parton definitely scored a touchdown when she shocked the crowd at the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day game at AT&T Stadium in a classic Cowboys cheerleader outfit. The belly crop top and short shorts covered in rhinestones sparkled as the country singer performed a fast-paced set that included her favorites “Jolene,” “9 to 5” and a cover of “We Are the Champions/We” by Queen. Will Rock You.”
“My husband turned out really nice too [Carl Thomas Dean] I liked it. He said, “Those shorts were a little too tight.” I said, 'Are you jealous?'” Parton laughed as he recalled the instantly viral moment People magazine. “And I was like, 'They weren't as short as the other girls!' or else, he got a kick too,” said the 78-year-old singer.
said Parton's manager Danny Nozell Advertising sign while the singer didn't tell anyone about the cheerleader outfit until it was time to go on stage. “It was totally her idea. He waited a bit before going on stage and came out of the dressing room to show us all. When he came out, me, security and my staff passed out,” Nozell said. “I couldn't tell the difference between Dolly and the cheerleaders. That's the genius of Dolly, and people are still talking about it.”
By now Dean — who has been married to Parton since 1966 — is probably used to his wife turning up the crowds, but to him she's still just Dolly. As proof, Parton revealed to People the sweet present he got her for her birthday last week. “It was a glass heart of Carl and I when we were younger, and it was carved into the glass inside,” she said. “You put it on a little light or a little pedestal and then it has a battery and you can turn it on. We go round and round. I think these very personal gifts like this are always so sweet.”
