Wilson was previously announced as the entertainment for the Dallas Cowboys’ annual Thanksgiving Day game, facing off against the New York Giants on Fox. Shaboozey will take the stage when the Detroit Lions clash with the Chicago Bears on CBS, and Stirling will perform in Green Bay, Wisconsin as the Packers go head-to-head with the Miami Dolphins on NBC.
Each artist is scheduled to perform for six minutes, following last year’s lineup of Dolly Parton (Dallas Cowboys), Jack Harlow (Detroit Lions), and Steve Aoki (Seattle Seahawks). The combined viewership for these games typically exceeds 100 million, making the halftime shows the most-watched music events on television aside from the Super Bowl.
“Thanksgiving football is a cherished tradition in our country, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it this year,” Shaboozey expressed to Billboard. “The Detroit Lions’ season has been remarkable so far, and I can’t wait to tap into the electrifying energy their fans bring to Ford Field. I’m excited for America to witness the show we’ve prepared.”
Seth Dudowsky, the head of music at the NFL, mentioned that the League collaborates with individual teams and broadcast partners to select talent for the shows. “The NFL on Thanksgiving offers artists a significant platform that continues to expand. We anticipate this year’s games will deliver another unforgettable day of football, music, and unifying moments for fans worldwide.”
The Lions have hosted a Thanksgiving Day game every year since 1934, and the Cowboys since 1966. In 2006, the NFL introduced a third Thanksgiving game in prime time, with the matchup changing annually.
Wilson, the reigning CMA Awards and ACM Awards entertainer of the year, is joined by Shaboozey, who achieved the longest No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this year with his hit, “The Bar Song (Tipsy).” Additionally, two-time Billboard Music Awards winner and former America’s Got Talent finalist Stirling is known for her electrifying performances as an electric violinist and dancer.
