The Dallas Cowboys' annual Thanksgiving Day game against the New York Giants will go down on Thursday, November 28.

While we have known the opponent for months, this week we learned who will provide the entertainment.

It was announced in a video alongside the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders that country music star Lainey Wilson will be performing during The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show.
