The Cowboys‘ 2026 Thanksgiving halftime show at AT&T Stadium is set.
“There’s something special about how music brings people together, especially when it’s to spread joy and hope to families who need it most,” Lambert said in a statement. “The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys have built an incredible tradition with the Red Kettle Kickoff, and I can’t wait to be back home in Texas this Thanksgiving to help carry it forward.”
Lambert will star in the 30th edition of the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving halftime show in support of the Salvation Army.
“The Red Kettle Kickoff has become one of the Dallas Cowboys’ proudest traditions and one my family and our entire organization look forward to every Thanksgiving,” Cowboys chief brand officer and co-owner Charlotte Jones said in the statement. “For 30 years, incredible artists have appeared on our halftime stage to help The Salvation Army bring hope to millions of people in need. We’re grateful to Miranda Lambert for joining that legacy and helping us continue this meaningful tradition.”
Iconic artists who have taken the stage for the halftime show include Carrie Underwood, the Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez, Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson and Post Malone, who performed in 2025.
