On Sunday morning, the Detroit Lions announced that Shaboozey will be the halftime act for their 2024 classic Thanksgiving Day game – the 85th game of the Lions tradition.

Shaboozey has no ties to Detroit, but he has been nominated six times for a Grammy. He recently came into the spotlight as a collaborator with Beyoncé on her latest album ‘Cowboy Carter’. Shaboozey mixes hip-hop and country, and is probably best known for his hit single ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’.

The Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game is scheduled for Thursday, November 28 at 12:30 PM ET. They will face the Chicago Bears and it will be broadcast nationally on CBS.

Last year, Jack Harlow performed at the Lions’ halftime Thanksgiving show. Previous performers for the show include Bebe Rexha, Big Sean, Kid Rock and Nickelback.

The Lions have lost seven straight games on Thanksgiving. Their last win was a thrilling 16-13 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.
