Parton fans are defending the country music legend after her halftime outfit on Thanksgiving during an NFL game raised some conservative eyebrows.

Fans came to country music legend Dolly Parton's defense after a MAGA conservative complained about her halftime outfit on Thanksgiving during an NFL game raised some conservative eyebrows.

Parton—who has always celebrated and even poked fun at her own body—dressed as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader for her Thanksgiving game halftime performance.


Images of the skin-colored bodysuit—which made it look like Parton was showing off her stomach—quickly went viral.

But known MAGA troll Vince Langman—a self-proclaimed "ex-con deplorable"—criticized Parton's choice of dress, asking his followers if they're "ok with 77 year old Dolly Parton dressing like a 20 year old Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader."

You can see his post below.

But fans weren't having it—and slammed Langman's ageist and body shaming remarks.



Two major fans also came to Parton's defense—her sister, Stella, and television host Whoopi Goldberg.

Stella Parton, Parton's younger sibling, said that she thought her big sister "was cute as hell in her Dallas Cowboys cheerleading costume at the half time show on Thanksgiving."

Goldberg, during an appearance on The View after the Thanksgiving break, said that "77-year-old superstar Dolly Parton stole the show on Thanksgiving at the Cowboys-Commanders game dressed as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader." She added that "some critics told her to act her age," concluding: "Bite me!"

Goldberg's co-host, Sunny Hostin, concurred, adding that if "I looked like that in one of them Cowboys things, I might have everything out."

While the country legend's performance was a success, with one news outlet saying it "proved she is capable of rocking football's biggest stage: The Super Bowl halftime show"—Parton herself has previously turned down offers to perform during the Super Bowl.

She told The Hollywood Reporter that she "couldn't do it because of other things, or I just didn't think I was big enough to do it—to do that big of a production," suggesting she felt she was too inexperienced to tackle such a major show.
