Once again, America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is taking the streaming world by storm! The second installment of Greg Whiteley’s hit Netflix docuseries followed the women from auditions to training camp and through the Dallas Cowboys’ 2024-2025 season. Led by DCC Senior Director Kelli Finglass and DCC Head Choreographer Judy Trammell, the squad celebrated highs (performing with Kacey Musgraves) and lows (the Dallas Cowboys’ so-so performance), but they always remained united. Group leaders Jada Mclean and Armani Latimer knew they wanted to make an impact before they retired. Together with Megan McElaney, they advocated for higher wages for the squad. Because of their hard work, the team will receive an almost a 400% pay raise for the 2025-2026 season and beyond. While Latimer and Mclean won’t get to enjoy the fruits of their labor themselves, they were overjoyed to help the teammates they love so much. “Knowing the struggles that we’ve had while being on the team, we wanted to leave this organization with some kind of good,” explained Mclean. “Wanting to see one another succeed was something that really drove us to take a stand and speak up.” Latimer agreed, adding “I can’t wait to cheer on the girls who are re-auditioning for this year.”Two cheerleaders that benefited from Mclean’s and Latimer’s determined campaign are Charly Barby and Kelly Villares. “They did all of this and they’re not even getting the benefit of it,” said Barby. “That just speaks volumes about who they are as leaders.” Both Barby and Villares were cut from the team during the 2023-2024 tryouts but moved to Texas anyways to train and prove their dedication. After a year of preparation, Barby suffered a pulmonary embolism and was barely able to submit her initial audition video for consideration. “I did put my body through pretty much hell and back for that tape, but it was worth it because it led me here.” It helped to have the support of Villares, who was by her side the entire time. “I was there when she thought it was just a fever,” shared Villares. “We were in this together from the beginning.”
