We must all bear witness to the country music Halloween costumes on the ‘Today’ show

As usual, the hosts of the Today show went all out for Halloween this year. Also as usual, the costume rollout was truly something to behold.

This year’s theme was “country music,” so everyone ~transformed~ into a particular country music icon. We understand it might have been difficult to register everyone’s ensemble through the sizable morning show chaos, so here’s who wore what.

Al Roker, the emperor of the Today show, transformed into a flawless Willie Nelson. (Al Roker rules.)

Carson Daly dressed as Billy Ray Cyrus. The real Billy Ray Cyrus was present. Don’t the two of them look thrilled? Cyrus was not dressed as Carson Daly.

Kathie Lee Gifford was Miley Cyrus, who only kind of sings country music. Gifford did, however, have the broadcast’s best goofy face.

Matt Lauer dressed as my dad dressed as Dolly Parton. Dolly liked it, though, so he did okay in the end.

 Savannah Guthrie dressed as Kenny Rogers, and she and Matt Lauer lip-synched
“Islands in the Stream” together. 

Savannah Guthrie should wear her Kenny Rogers jacket to the Today show holiday party.

Hoda Kotb dressed as Blake Shelton. Like Billy Ray Cyrus, the real Blake Shelton was present. They had fun.

Finally, Megyn Kelly dressed as Shania Twain. She did not seem like she was having even one ounce of fun. She also met Shania Twain, which is objectively unfair.

“Every shred of my dignity is gone,” said Megyn Kelly regarding her Shania Twain costume. Interestingly, Megyn Kelly did not say this after she insisted that both Santa Claus and Jesus were white.

Anyway, if you’re feeling brave, you can watch the full reveal video below. It is hosted by Reba McEntire, features a full oral history of Reba McEntire’s accomplishments, and is sure to be the spookiest part of your Halloween.
