Parton will perform her biggest hits as well as some songs from her forthcoming album, "Rockstar," during the halftime show, according to a press release from The Salvation Army.

“Wow! What an honor to get to kick off The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign with the halftime show during the Dallas Cowboys game this Thanksgiving,” Parton said in the press release. “Those Red Kettles have long been a symbol of hope for our friends and neighbors who are facing hard 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.”

The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign began in 1891 to raise money to help feed those in need during the holiday season, according to The Salvation Army's website.

Parton's album, "Rockstar," will be her 49th studio album and her first foray into the rock genre. It will feature collaborations from numerous rock legends, including Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr of The Beatles, Sting, Stevie Nicks and more. Parton will also cover several classic rock songs on the record. The album is slated to release with 30 tracks.

Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving game

The Cowboys have hosted a game on Thanksgiving Day every year since 1966, with the only exceptions being 1975 and 1977, when the then-St. Louis Cardinals hosted instead.

The Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show has been a tradition at the Cowboys' Thanksgiving games for the last 27 years, and an interesting trend has emerged regarding the halftime performers. When a country artist is invited to perform at the Thanksgiving halftime show, the Cowboys are 4-10. When the performer is a pop star, Dallas is 7-2, including last year, when the Jonas Brothers performed.

The Cowboys are 32-22-1 all-time on Thanksgiving Day. Their opponents this year, the Commanders, are 4-8 all-time in Thanksgiving Day matchups.
