Who will perform the Cowboys-Giants Thanksgiving halftime show?

While turkey is supposed to be the star of Thanksgiving, in most cases it’s the side dishes that make the holiday.

From mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes to corn, green beans, cranberry sauce, various casseroles and stuffings, there is something for everyone.

The same goes for the 2024 Dallas Cowboys. The on-field action was expected to grab headlines, with the Thanksgiving holiday another celebration on the menu or schedule before heading into the postseason.

That won’t be the case this season for Dallas or their opponent, the Giants, as the teams renew their rivalry on Turkey Day. Instead of worrying about Dallas and New York’s relegation, fans have a chance to put them aside, as many people do with Turkey 364 days a year, and enjoy the halftime show.

In recent years, Luke Combs and Dolly Parton have graced the stage to commemorate the Salvation Army Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show. This time around, Dallas will welcome another one of country music’s biggest stars on Thanksgiving. Here’s everything you need to know about halftime actress Lainey Wilson.
