VT. Carrie Underwood GETS THANKSGIVING KICK-OFF for Marshawn Kneeland! Cowboys Nation, get ready.
This Thanksgiving Day was a whole different story. It wasn’t just a Dallas Cowboys game, it wasn’t just the biggest football party in America — it was a tribute to Marshawn Kneeland, a name that has left a deep mark on Cowboys Nation. And the person chosen to open the big event was Carrie Underwood — a global star, a stage icon, and Dallas’ proud “black beauty.”

Carrie didn’t take the stage just to perform. She took the stage to retell the Cowboys’ spirit through her music, her powerful voice, and the special connection she had with the team since childhood. As the lights at AT&T Stadium began to light up, as the crowd filled the familiar silver and blue seats, everyone knew they were about to witness something bigger than a halftime show — they were about to witness the opening ceremony of the NFL’s biggest holiday.
Amid the fiery atmosphere of the Cowboys vs. Kansas City Chiefs Carrie Underwood will take AT&T Stadium to a musical space where her voice resonates with the spirit of Texas. Every high note will resonate with tens of thousands of people, every movement on stage will ignite the color blue and silver — the color of Cowboys, the color of tradition, the color of pride.
But this year, that spirit will be multiplied when Carrie opens the show by paying tribute to Marshawn Kneeland — a young, determined cowboy whose passing has left a hole in the hearts of the team and its fans. There will be no tears in the performance, but the emotion will surely reach every corner of the stadium.
Kneeland will appear on a giant LED screen, accompanied by Carrie Underwood’s powerful voice — as a reminder that Cowboys Nation has never forgotten those who fought, who gave, and who left an irreplaceable mark. This is not just a performance, it is a tribute; It’s not just music, it’s the Cowboys’ hearts lit up in front of millions of television viewers.

When Carrie hits the final note, AT&T Stadium will no longer be a football field — it will be a celebration of joy, pride, gratitude, and unity. A celebration that’s more blue and silver than ever before. A celebration that Cowboys Nation will remember forever as the perfect opening chapter to Thanksgiving.
This year’s Thanksgiving doesn’t just start with football.
It starts with music, with emotion, and with a tribute to Marshawn Kneeland.
It starts with Carrie Underwood — who will transform AT&T Stadium into the capital of the American spirit.
And Cowboys Nation? They have one mission:
Get ready to rock.
