Grammy, ACM, and CMA Award-winning country star Lainey Wilson will take the stage at AT&T Stadium during the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game against the New York Giants. Wilson’s performance, part of The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show, will air live on Fox. Known for being the most-watched regular season game, last year’s Thanksgiving game attracted 42 million viewers.

Wilson, the reigning ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year, will perform songs from her new album "Whirlwind" and a special guest is expected to join her. The Red Kettle Kickoff marks the start of The Salvation Army’s annual fundraising campaign, which has raised over $3 billion with the help of the Cowboys since the tradition began 28 years ago.
