People are googling Dolly Parton's real age after seeing her Thanksgiving performance

Dolly Parton's Thanksgiving Day performance was not only a source of gratitude for all viewers but also left them with a lingering question. The iconic Country music star stole the spotlight during Thursday's festivities as she took the stage for the halftime show at the Commanders-Cowboys game held at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

As if the Cowboys' 10-point lead at halftime wasn't exhilarating enough, the crowd's spirits soared even higher when they were treated to a surprise appearance by none other than Dolly Parton herself, now gracing the field as the latest Dallas cheerleader.

Dressed in her own dazzling interpretation of the Cowboys' blue and white cheerleading attire, Parton captivated fans with renditions of '9 to 5', 'Jolene', and a medley of Queen's 'We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You'.

With her mesmerizing wig, radiant smile, and stylish ensemble, numerous fans quickly turned to Google and various social media platforms to pose the burning question that occupied the thoughts of every viewer: What is Dolly Parton's age?

"One can't help but notice every guy sitting at the dinner table right now googling Dolly Parton’s age," quipped an individual on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Another tweet echoed the sentiment, stating, "All football viewers simultaneously searching 'Dolly Parton age,'" while a third comment read, "Dolly Parton still looks fantastic. I'm going to Google her age."

And indeed, they were correct! A glance at Google Trends reveals that on Thursday, the search term "How old is Dolly Parton?" reached an unprecedented peak.

Certainly, the perpetually cheerful singer demonstrated that age is merely a figure on Thursday's performance. While belting out '9 to 5', she convincingly showcased that she's not just keeping up but excelling. Despite singing about '9 to 5', she undeniably proved she's a perfect 10. To everyone's surprise, her age-defying appearance left them in awe when they discovered that she's a remarkable 77 years old.

"Wow, this is genuinely Dolly Parton... she's 77 years old and looks incredible," commented one user on X, while another added, "Dolly Parton is 77 and confidently wearing whatever she pleases. I adore her."

A third user shared on Twitter: "Dolly Parton is 77, and she looks like she's 37."

"Imagine how exceptional Dolly Parton is—being 77 and effortlessly rocking the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader look in the midst of the actual Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. She's truly amazing," another admirer remarked.

At the age of 77, one might assume that Dolly is contemplating retiring her cowboy boots for good and enjoying a well-deserved break. However, that assumption would be incorrect.

In an interview with Ken Bruce on Greatest Hits Radio, the iconic country singer made it clear that she has no intentions of ever putting away her sparkling cowboy boots.

Instead, she humorously expressed her desire to "just drop dead."

"I have no plans of retiring," Parton shared with the host. "I'd rather just hopefully keel over in the midst of singing on stage someday, preferably one of my own songs. Anyway, that's my preferred way to go because, well, we don't have much say in the matter."

Certainly, that's something we can all genuinely appreciate.
