Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ family is so much more than football. They’re Texas royalty -loud, proud, and everywhere. And his kids, too, are not just working the sidelines or crunching playbooks. They’ve got their hands in a whole lot more. Just last month, the Jones crew was all over the papers after the grand opening of the National Medal of Honor Museum and Leadership Institute. The Jones family was personally connected to the creation of the museum, as they had donated $20 million to support its construction. Another connection is that Jerry’s daughter, Charlotte Jones, is the chairperson of the museum’s board.

Charlotte Jones just teased the big night on her Instagram story with a special little shoutout. “We’re ready for the 60th anniversary of the @acmawards!” she penned, sharing a snap that featured Reba rocking a Cowboys-colored jersey with ‘McEntire’ written on the back.
