Thanksgiving is a time synonymous with food, family, and football - and the elaborate halftime show that comes with the big game. Just this week, country legend Dolly Parton announced that she will be the star act for this year's halftime performance on Thursday, November 23. At 77, Parton has no intentions of slowing down. She began her career in '56 and has proceeded to transcend time and genres of music. This upcoming show represents a significant milestone for Parton, who actually turned down a similar opportunity almost a decade ago.

A long time coming https://twitter.com/NerdingonNFL/status/1656676324508053506 Parton had actually been invited to perform during the 2015 Super Bowl halftime show but refused. During that occasion, Parton would not have headlined the event as a solo act, but rather had been invited by Katy Perry, the main star of the show who very much wanted to perform alongside the "Jolene" singer. Parton ended up staying that Super Bowl Sunday at home watching the game from the comfort of her couch with her husband Carl Dean. But, "I would have done it, because I love Katy Perry," said Parton in a GQ interview in which she went undercover to answer questions. "At the time, my husband was not doing good. He was kind of puny and I couldn’t leave him, so I couldn’t do it."
