Dasha gave an energetic performance of her viral hit “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)” during a rain-affected 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City.

The fast-rising country artist presented one of the many highlights of the Thanksgiving extravaganza, which has been a beloved holiday tradition in the US since 1924.

Fans were seen rehearsing Dasha for the momentous occasion earlier this week, with TikTok videos emerging of the ‘Didn’t I’ singer-songwriter practicing the choreography for the performance. Surrounded by an army of backup dancers, Dasha rattled through the catchy song while sitting atop the Spirit of America ‘Big City Cheer’ float.

A number of viewers have taken to social media to heap praise on comparing Dasha’s performance to Taylor Swift’s, due to the rising artist’s ability to pull off earworm hooks while also incorporating deeply evocative, powerful lyricism into her music .

Elsewhere during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, viewers were treated to performances from Dan + Shay, Idina Menzel, Kylie Minogue, Rachel Platten, Walker Hayes, The War and Treaty, T-Pain, Jennifer Hudson and Jimmy Fallon, and The Roots, among others.

Despite the weather’s best attempts to “rain their parade,” the event was imbued with its signature atmosphere of warmth and familiarity, with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade remaining one of the most highly anticipated parts of the holiday each year.

Organizers’ decision to recruit Dasha to perform at the national event underscores how quickly the “Heartbreaker From Tennessee” prodigy has risen to the upper echelon of country music. It is believed that Dasha is working on her much-awaited sequel in 2024 What happens now?
