Shaboozey Shines in Thanksgiving Halftime Show at Lions-Bears Game

The rising country star's performance earned widespread praise, marking a milestone in his breakout year.

Shaboozey performed a medley of hits, including his record-breaking single 'A Bar Song (Tipsy),' during the Detroit Lions' Thanksgiving game halftime show.
The 29-year-old artist, whose real name is Collins Obinna Chibueze, has had a banner year, earning multiple Grammy nominations and collaborating with Beyoncé on her country album.
Fans and commentators lauded the performance for its energy, family-friendly presentation, and cultural relevance, with many calling it one of the Lions' best halftime shows ever.
The NFL selected Shaboozey for the Thanksgiving show to highlight his rapid rise in the music industry, with the performance featuring local dancers and intricate stage design by Super Bowl production veterans.
Social media users humorously noted that Shaboozey's time on the field rivaled the Bears' first-half possession, while others compared his show favorably to last year's halftime act, Jack Harlow.
