\n\tTexas native Miranda Lambert<\/a> is set to headline the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 halftime show when the team plays the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving Day at AT&T Stadium.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe game airs on Nov. 26 on Fox, starting at 3:30 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe annual Cowboys halftime entertainment segment, officially titled the Salvation Army Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show, puts a spotlight on the needs of millions during the holiday season and beyond \u2014 with the Red Kettle Campaign raising more than $3.4 billion over the past three decades. Donations provide assistance to those in need in the community in which they\u2019re given. Information about giving help or getting help is available at SalvationArmyUSA.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s the 30th anniversary. You\u2019ve gotta take the bull by the horns,\u201d Lambert \u2014 who released her 10th solo studio album,Crisco, in early October \u2014 says in the promo spot seen below that was released Sunday (Oct. 25), riding in to AT&T Stadium and revealing the halftime performance news<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a press statement also released on Sunday, Lambert adds, \u201cThere\u2019s something special about how music brings people together, especially when it\u2019s to spread joy and hope to families who need it most. The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys have built an incredible tradition with the Red Kettle Kickoff, and I can\u2019t wait to be back home in Texas this Thanksgiving to help carry it forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLambert\u2019s Crisco album debuted at No. 4 on Billboard\u2019s\u00a0Top Country Albums<\/a>\u00a0following its Oct. 2 release, continuing the singer\u2019s unbroken run of 11 top 10s on the chart.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Red Kettle Kickoff has become one of the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 proudest traditions and one my family and our entire organization look forward to every Thanksgiving,\u201d says Charlotte Jones, chief brand officer\/co-owner of the Dallas Cowboys and former national advisory board chairman for The Salvation Army. \u201cFor 30 years, incredible artists have appeared on our halftime stage to help The Salvation Army bring hope to millions of people in need. We\u2019re grateful to Miranda Lambert for joining that legacy and helping us continue this meaningful tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPast performers to headline the team\u2019s Thanksgiving game halftime show include the late Dolly Parton, who memorably came out on the stadium field in a Cowboys cheerleaders outfit in 2023. Reba McEntire was the inaugural star to headline the show in 1997. Over the years, Destiny\u2019s Child, Carrie Underwood, the Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez, Lainey Wilson and Post Malone were also among the artists leading the halftime entertainment for the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast week it was announced that U2 will perform<\/a> at the NFL\u2019s first-ever Thanksgiving Eve football game \u2014 when the Green Bay Packers play the Los Angeles Rams\u00a0at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.<\/p>\n
