Kelly Clarkson, the pop sensation, is a devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys. Hailing from Texas, she donned a Cowboys jersey while hosting the NFL Honors in 2023 and entertained during halftime at Texas Stadium during the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving matchup against the New York Jets in 2006.

Like many Cowboys enthusiasts, she experiences the team’s ups and downs. During an appearance on Kylie Kelce’s podcast “Not Gonna Lie,” Clarkson seemed to be reaching a tipping point. “I just read something with my sister, and apparently Jerry Jones said, ‘Well, now is the time,’” she recounted to Jason Kelce’s wife. “I thought, ‘Oh, OK.

This ‘now’s the time’ feels different from the previous ones. It’s not like last year’s time, which was also supposed to be the time.” Nevertheless, Clarkson remains optimistic about the Cowboys, citing the team’s remarkable success in the 1990s as a source of hope. “Our team is probably one of the most disliked,” she remarked. “I think it’s because we’re always so hopeful. I don’t think there have been more dreamers since the ‘90s.

Every year is our year.” In Texas, Clarkson noted, supporting the Cowboys is almost a given. Her passion for the game truly ignited when she started participating in fantasy football. Over the offseason, Dallas made several adjustments, most notably appointing Brian Schottenheimer as the new head coach after parting ways with Mike McCarthy due to unresolved contract terms.

The Cowboys strengthened their defense by signing linebacker Kenneth Murray, cornerback Kaiir Elam, and defensive lineman Solomon Thomas, though they lost cornerback Jourdan Lewis and edge rushers Demarcus Lawrence and Chauncey Golston.

Dak Prescott is expected to return for the 2025 season after his injury contributed to the Cowboys’ decline in 2024, when they finished with a 7-10 record. Although the Cowboys have reached the playoffs three times in the last four years, they haven’t advanced to the conference championship since their 1995 Super Bowl-winning season.
