When Alan, Dolly, Willie, and George Take the Same Stage, You Know America’s About to Witness Something Legendary. ML
On a crisp October evening, the heart of America will beat to one unforgettable rhythm. Ten country music legends — Alan Jackson, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, George Strait, Vince Gill, Carrie Underwood, Brooks & Dunn, Garth Brooks, and Trisha Yearwood — will unite for a once-in-a-lifetime event: “The All-American Halftime Show.”
Aired opposite the Super Bowl, the show promises something far deeper than spectacle — a celebration of faith, family, and freedom. From the stage of Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, the performance will blend gospel choirs, orchestral strings, and timeless country harmonies into a single national hymn.
“This isn’t just a concert,” producer Erika Kirk shared. “It’s a reminder of who we are — a people of hope and heart.”
Each moment will honor that vision. Alan Jackson will open with “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning),” while Carrie Underwood performs “Jesus, Take the Wheel” with the Covenant School children’s choir. Later, Willie Nelson and Vince Gill will dedicate “He Won’t Ever Be Gone” to Erika’s late husband, Charlie Kirk, whose dream inspired the show.
When Dolly, Reba, Garth, and Trisha lead the finale — a brand-new anthem called “One Nation Under Song” — the night will close not with applause, but with a standing prayer of unity.
“There’s so much noise in the world,” Dolly said. “But music still brings us back to what matters — love, faith, and home.”
And on that night, America will sing as one.
