Country star performs at NFL's Thanksgiving Day halftime break

Country music star Lainey Wilson will perform during the NFL's Thanksgiving game between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants.

“This Thanksgiving, right here, on this field, me and a special guest performing the halftime show for the Salvation Army's annual Red Kettle Kickoff,” Wilson announced via MSN during halftime of Sunday's Cowboys and Lions game. “It’s going to be a party.”

Dolly Parton performed — in her Dallas Cowboys gear — during the NFL's Thanksgiving Day halftime show last year.

“Well, first of all, no one is going to top Dolly Parton,” Wilson said. “When she came out there in that outfit, I was like, 'My girl, my girl,'” Wilson said. “We’re getting it ready, guys. I'm so excited for you all to see what we've been working on. They are some of the hits. You will be surprised. It’ll keep you on your toes is all I’ll say.”

The Cowboys-Giants game begins Nov. 28 at 3:30 p.m.

Dak Prescott threw two interceptions in a 47-9 loss, the Cowboys' worst home loss since 1988. Dallas is 0-3 at home and 3-0 away.
