Tennessee Titans add their first-ever twirler: 'Dream come true'
To say that the Tennessee Titans are making changes in 2025 would be an understatement. Not only will the on-field team look different after numerous changes, but the organization itself is pushing boundaries as it prepares for the opening of its new stadium in 2026, which will impact NFL history. No, this impact has nothing to do with a player or a team record; it doesn't even involve cheerleaders or any of the immediate support staff. No, it involves majorettes, specifically Chloe Holladay, who took to TikTok to announce that she would be joining the Blue Crew as the Titans' first twirler. Advertisement 'This is truly a dream come true. Every step, every open door, every challenge, and every blessing from God has led me to this moment,' Holladay said. While twirlers aren't entirely new to the NFL, it has been several years since a team's majorettes performed inside an NFL stadium, with the last being in 2002 by the Detroit Lions. That previous performance marked the end of a long history that began in 1948, when Robert Olmstead formed the 49ers Majorettes. Now, 23 years later, the baton will be passed from the Lions to the Titans once Holladay takes to the field. Holladay has always dreamt of being a majorette and performing at a high level. From an early age, her first target was the University of Alabama, where she wanted to become a Crimsonette. Not only did this become a reality as a freshman, but she was also named team captain before her senior year. Advertisement After graduating from the University of Alabama with a BSN in nursing in December, she was interviewed by Sports Illustrated. She stated her desire to continue twirling in the NFL as a majorette. 'I've always had a dream of, and I would love to be the first NFL majorette,' she told Sports Illustrated. 'That has never been a thing before, and so they only have NFL cheerleaders, and I think it would be awesome to be the first ever NFL majorette.' Dream come true! The Titans Blue Crew took to Instagram to announce her addition to their team on gameday. This article originally appeared on Titans Wire: Titans add their first-ever twirler: 'Dream come true'

Fox Nation goes inside Alabama's iconic 'Million Dollar Band,' catches up with the Crimsonettes
The sights and sounds of college football include much more than just what happens on the gridiron. They come from the marching band, as well. In episode 3 of the Fox Nation series, "The Tides That Bind," the Alabama Crimson Tide's 'Million Dollar Band' is showcased during practices and before major football games. As the latest installment explores, perhaps the loudest sound of all is the immense pride that's shared among members of the band — to whom it's much more than just an extracurricular activity."It became a big goal of mine to make the drumline at Bama," drumline member of the 'Million Dollar Band' and University of Alabama senior Cade Wilson said in the new episode. "It was probably the best day of my life so far."'The Tides That Bind': Alabama Coach Kalen Deboer Offers Inside Access To Debut Season For Wilson, it's an honor and a legacy; both his parents were members of the band in their younger years. His father was a drummer and his mother was a member of the Crimsonettes, the baton-twirling group that performs alongside the 'Million Dollar Band.' "Fulfilling that family legacy meant a lot," Wilson Worker Reveals Alabama Football Team 'Inspired' His Late Son In New Fox Nation Special The episode also spotlighted the Crimsonettes, during which captain Sally Otts expressed how intimidating the road environments are for the Crimson Tide — especially when the team travels to Knoxville to play their rivals, the Tennessee Volunteers. "This week, we will talk about how to react in a positive manner when things aren't going well," Otts said."Because that environment [Tennessee] is so negative and scary, and if we lose, it can be really intense," she explained of the Volunteers fan base, known for being passionate and, to some, downright annoying. Read On The Fox News App Wilson stressed the significance of being part of such a historic band before kickoff between the Crimson Tide and the Volunteers. "I'm an ambassador of the university every time I put on that script 'A'," Wilson said. "I'm in uniform with all my best friends. I have a purpose to serve."
