Former Alabama Crimsonette preparing for historic NFL gig
Reading time: 2 minutes
Hartselle native Chloe Holladay has already made a name for herself in the biggest sports league in the world before even stepping on the field.
The former University of Alabama Crimsonette is taking her talents to Nashville, joining the Tennessee Titans as the franchise’s first ever official twirler. She will perform alongside the team’s cheer squad + Blue Crew Drumline.
According to USA Today, she’s set to become the first NFL majorette since 2002 when the Detroit Lions had a full majorettes team perform on the field.

“I am the first ever Tennessee Titans baton twirler and I cannot believe this is real life. I am so thankful, proud and humble to represent this organization and team. This is truly a dream come true.”
Chloe Holladay on social media
In September 2024, Holladay was interviewed by Sports Illustrated to talk about how her first dream was to become a Crimsonette. In that interview, she spoke about wanting to become an NFL majorette.
She put in the work, creating a performance from scratch as her pitch for any NFL teams willing to listen.
And in May, Holladay got the call from Tennessee: she’ll be going from Bryant-Denny to Nissan Stadium + trading in her crimson uniform for some Titan blue.
The Titans first home game is Sept. 14 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Familiar with the spotlight
Back in 2023, Holladay shared the stage with SEC Nation, a pregame football show on SEC Network.
The Crimsonette got to perform on air before being roped into teaching Paul Finebaum, Tim Tebow and the rest of the crew how to twirl their own batons.

Holladay has also built a massive social media following. She recently surpassed the 1 million follower mark on TikTok + she has nearly 500,000 followers on Instagram.
