Detroit celebrated not just Thanksgiving on November 28, 2024, but also an impressive halftime show featuring the artist Shaboozey during the Chicago Bears-Detroit Lions game. This year has been a remarkable journey for Shaboozey, who went from playing in small venues to performing in front of thousands of fans at an NFL event.
This artist, who first made waves in the music scene back in 2014, has blown up this year thanks to his hit single, “A Bar Song.” The track has dominated the airwaves, holding the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 19 weeks. This achievement ties him with Lil Nas X‘s “Old Town Road” for the longest-running number one song ever.
Shaboozey took to social media after his performance, reflecting on his dramatic rise to fame. He expressed his disbelief in making it from playing for crowds of just 250 people to the grand stage of an NFL halftime show. “What can’t God do?” he shared, showing gratitude for the unexpected changes in his life.
Before finding success this year, Shaboozey struggled to find his footing despite releasing two albums that didn’t gain much recognition. However, his luck changed, and now he is not only enjoying the spotlight but has also been nominated for three Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist.
After Shaboozey’s exciting performance, the energy in Ford Field remained high as the Lions clinched a close victory against the Bears, finishing the game at 23-20. The victory, paired with the lively halftime show, made for a memorable day in Detroit.
Fans left the game with smiles on their faces, celebrating both their team’s win and Shaboozey’s remarkable performance. The transformation of this artist seems to highlight the unpredictable nature of success in the entertainment world.
