Ellie Goulding will perform at Dallas Cowboys' annual Thanksgiving halftime show following Salvation Army controversy

NBC Sports

Earlier this week, Goulding threatened to pull out from the Thanksgiving Day CBS performance after fans raised concerns that the Salvation Army was homophobic and transphobic. In response, she demanded that the charity commit donating to the LGBTQ community. The Salvation Army apparently satisfied her concerns. David Hudson, National Commander of the Salvation Army thanked Goulding and her fans “for shedding light on misconceptions and encouraging others to learn the truth about The Salvation Army’s mission to serve all, without discrimination. We applaud her for taking the time to learn about the services we provide to the LGBTQ community.”
