During the highly anticipated Thanksgiving Day game between the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears, rising country star Shaboozey delivered a halftime performance that garnered considerable attention and praise from football fans. Following the dissatisfaction expressed over last year's halftime show by Jack Harlow, viewers took to social media to applaud Shaboozey's engaging performance, with many noting that he appeared to spend more time on the field than the Bears' offense did in the first half.

Fans highlighted the stark contrast in performance between Shaboozey and the Bears, humorously remarking on the team's struggles. In the first half, the Bears managed to advance a mere seven yards, a statistic that quickly became the subject of jokes among viewers. As the halftime show unfolded, Shaboozey showcased his talents with popular songs such as 'A Bar Song' and 'Last of my Kind,' prompting many fans to express their enjoyment of his music for the first time.

At halftime, the Lions held a commanding 16-0 lead over the Bears, thanks in part to quarterback Jared Goff's performance, which included completing 14 of 24 passes for 145 yards and one touchdown. In contrast, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams struggled, completing only 5 of 15 passes for 34 yards. Despite the disappointing performance of the team, Shaboozey's lively set resonated well with fans, many of whom remarked on his impressive stage presence and musicality.
