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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
