Whoopi Goldberg is defending Dolly Parton’s Thanksgiving halftime outift.
Whoopi Goldberg recently praised Dolly Parton’s well-liked halftime act, a legend in the country music industry. At the traditional Thanksgiving afternoon game between the Dallas Cowboys, Parton performed during halftime. She was on a stage covered with the famous star, dressed as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
For the most part, spectators and NFL fans enjoyed her performance. On social media, several viewers, however, attacked the 77-year-old for dressing inappropriately. The comedian and co-host of “The View” on ABC discussed their remarks from Monday’s episode:
“She should act her age, some critics advised.” Bite me.

Goldberg’s other hosts supported Parton and agreed with her. Sara Haines backed the singer’s argument that she doesn’t have to “act her age,” as well.
She appears her age. She is not required to act her years.
Sunny Hostin, a fellow co-host, complimented Parton:
“As far as Dolly is concerned, I might have everything out if I looked like that in one of those Cowboy things.”
One of the most viewed games was the Cowboys and Dolly Parton halftime entertainment.
When the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears faced off on Thanksgiving, rapper Jack Harlow performed the halftime act. Several fans and watchers thought his performance was lackluster.
At AT&T Stadium later in the day, Dolly Parton sang some of her best-known Queen songs. 45–10 in favor of the Dallas Cowboys over the Washington Commanders.
