That Hall of Famer?

Dolly Parton.

The singer told CBS News' Norah O'Donnell (h/t Rhiannon Walker of Yahoo Sports) that she will perform at halftime for the Thanksgiving game between the NFC East rivals.

"We're going to do some stuff that everybody can sing along to," Parton said. "They'll know the songs I'm doing. ... I want people to be surprised and enjoy it."

Parton was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the class of 2022.

As for the football game, it will be the first of two matchups between the Cowboys and Commanders this season. They are currently both battling for position behind the 5-1 Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East standings.

Dallas is 3-2 overall but just 1-2 in the last three games. Those two losses came to the Arizona Cardinals without Kyler Murray and the San Francisco 49ers in blowout fashion.

Washington is 3-3 but has some momentum after Sunday's victory over the Atlanta Falcons snapped a three-game losing streak.
