Dolly Parton fans are left in shock as they discover her REAL age as she gets heat for her cheerleading outfit at Washington-Dallas halftime show

Dolly Parton fans were shocked when they saw her perform during the halftime show of the Commanders-Cowboys game.

The country music icon looked sensational as she took the stage in a tiny blue crop top paired with a white star print cardigan and stunning shorts.

She drove the crowd wild as she flaunted her phenomenal figure on stage while delivering an energetic performance.

Still, fans were shocked to soon learn that the youthful artist is in fact 77 years old and quickly shared on X, formerly Twitter: ‘Dolly Parton at 77 and me almost half her age’; ‘If You See Dolly Parton in a Dallas Cheerleader Outfit, Find Out She’s 77’;

‘Americans who googled how old Dolly Parton is and found out she is 77’; “My brain is trying to process the fact that Dolly Parton is 77 years old.”

Still, not everyone was impressed with the skimpy ensemble, with one troll sharing: ‘Who the hell gave Dolly Parton that outfit?

Fans of the singer were quick to jump to the country crooner’s defense and take notice how “gorgeous” and “amazing” she looked on stage in Dallas.

“Joe Biden is 81. Donald Trump is 77. If we have to choose an old person, let it be Dolly Parton,” one person wrote, as the US election quickly approached.

Another fan called her a ‘queen’ while someone called her a ‘national treasure’ as the performance left the majority of fans impressed.

One person replied: ‘Yes…Dolly can pull this off with class.’

“She’s as gorgeous as ever and even more beautiful inside,” one user said.

A fourth wrote: ‘More power to her! She looks great!’

“If a genie gave me one wish, I would ask to be as sexy as Dolly Parton at 77, or any age,” one fan wrote.

One Dolly defender wrote, “To anyone complaining about the way Dolly Parton dressed tonight, that is who she is and always has been. A damn queen.”

In the CBS booth, announcer Tony Romo couldn’t hide his excitement as he discussed Dolly’s Thanksgiving performance.

After watching the singer wow Dallas in her cheerleading outfit, Romo and Jim Nantz discussed the show in the booth — and the former made his feelings very clear.

“She was wearing the…Cowboys cheerleading outfit,” he began, addressing Nantz in the booth. ‘You saw that coming, didn’t you?

Nantz then tried to steer the conversation by asking, “What do you think we’re going to see in the second half?”, but Romo wasn’t ready to continue, adding, “I mean, she looks great , However? She is amazing. Who doesn’t love Dolly Parton?’

The songwriter appeared during the halftime show as part of the Salvation Army’s 133rd annual Red Kettle Campaign.

In a press statement, Dolly said it was “an honor” to work with the organization.

She said: “Those Red Cauldrons have long been a symbol of hope for our friends and neighbors going through difficult times.

“My goal is to encourage everyone who can to donate and support their neighbors in need. Every small act of generosity helps, and together we can all love our neighbors this holiday season and beyond.”

Dolly performed two of her biggest hits, Jolene and 9 to 5, and also performed “We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You” to a sold-out crowd in Texas.

The music icon’s live performance was very different from Jack Harlow’s, as the Detroit Lions were unimpressed with the rapper’s halftime performance.
