After being inundated with backlash for wearing Dallas Cowboys' cheerleader outfit at their halftime show, the "I Will Always Love You" singer was supported by a number of social media users, who praised her for rocking the ensemble.
On Thursday, November 23, the 77-year-old country superstar became a hot topic on X, formerly known as Twitter, due to her stage outfit from her halftime show performance. A number of X users came to her defense. Among them was one who penned, "For everyone complaining about how Dolly Parton dressed tonight, that's who she is and always has been. A f****ng queen."
Similarly, another joined in, "Why are some people complaining. You should be excited to know it's poss to look like this at her age." Meanwhile, a third gushed, "Oh my goodness. just caught the replay and WOW! You OWNED that performance and the costume. Outstanding. Simply outstanding." A fourth exclaimed, "You never disappoint. You are a star, your twinkle brightens lives, and you looked stunning in your outfit!!! Bravo Beautiful!"

During her performance, she belted out some of her hit classics, "Jolene" and "9 to 5". In addition, she delivered Queen's tracks, including "We Are The Champions" as well as "We Will Rock You".
For the performance, Dolly flaunted her age-defying look in a blue crop top that came with a plunging neckline and two long balloon sleeves.
