In June 2024, Netflix dropped the America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders docuseries that shared “the personal stories behind the uniforms, revealing the ambition and drive shared by the cheerleaders and their coaches through the 2023–24 season.”

The series is returning for a Season 2 and will feature the rookies who took the field in 2024.

Among the 2024 rookies are Kelly Villares, who fell short of making the team during the inaugural season of the Netflix series, Abby Summers, Allison Khong, and Madie Krueger.

This week, the DCC rookies were honored at the annual Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Pinky Party at Diamonds Direct jewelry store in Dallas, Texas.

Every year, the rookies receive a pinky ring at the end of the season to represent becoming a “full-fledged Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader” and getting welcomed into the sisterhood.
