Country music fans are eating well on Thanksgiving this year.

Of the three Thanksgiving halftime shows, two of the featured artists are country musicians. Each of them will perform in one of the earlier National Day games, with electric violinist and dancer Lindsey Stirling performing the halftime acts in the evening’s Packers vs. Dolphins game completes.

The first act of the day – and therefore the first country artist – is rising star and Grammy-nominated artist Shaboozey, who will perform during halftime of Lions vs. Bears will perform. He will perform at Ford Field during the nationally televised game on CBS.

Lainey Wilson is the other country artist performing on Thanksgiving. She will take the stage later this afternoon for the halftime show during the Cowboys vs. Giants.

Here’s everything you need to know about Shaboozey ahead of his performance early Thursday afternoon:

Who is the Lions Thanksgiving halftime show performer?

Shaboozey will be the Lions’ halftime performer taking the stage for the Thanksgiving Day Classic Halftime Show, powered by Verizon.

Detroit announced that the Grammy-nominated artist would perform at halftime of the Thanksgiving game with a press release and social media image on November 10.

Who is Shaboozey?

Shaboozey burst onto the country music scene this year with his two features on Beyoncé’s album “Cowboy Carter” – which were the most of any artist on that record – and his hit single “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”

The Virginia native’s song spent 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard top 100, tying the record set by Lil Nas , including nods at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), Country Music Association awards (CMAs), and a win at the inaugural People’s Choice Country Awards for ‘New Artist Song of 2024.”

Shaboozey himself was also nominated for a number of new artist awards at the VMAs and CMAs, and he won New Artist of 2024 at the People’s Choice Country Awards.

He is also nominated for five Grammys: Best New Artist, Best Melodic Rap Performance (for “Spaghetti” featuring Beyoncé), and Song of the Year, Best Country Song, and Best Country Solo Performance, all for “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”
