Dolly Parton’s recent halftime show at the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders game wowed fans, but some noticed her holding onto the stage during certain points. NFL reporter Jane Slater explained that Dolly was supposed to have a supporting stand, which didn’t work out.

A Starry Setback

The performance glitch was linked to a giant star-shaped stage, intended for Dolly to emerge and sing on top of it. However, due to a malfunction, she had to sing beside it without a stand for support. Despite this setback, Dolly delivered a memorable performance of hits like “Jolene” and “9 to 5.”

Making the Best of It

While the Cowboys declined to comment on the issue, emphasizing the collaboration of various parties in the halftime show production, Dolly’s resilience and ability to make the most of the situation shone through.

Slater’s Support

Jane Slater defended Dolly on Instagram, stating, “For those knocking my girl for just holding on here, she was supposed to come out of the Star and have a stand supporting her. It didn’t work.” This sheds light on the unexpected challenge Dolly faced during her remarkable halftime show.
