Shaboozey’s Thanksgiving Halftime Show – What You Didn’t See on TV


"When you get an artist like this who's so quickly elevated in their musical career, they still remember how to be regular folks and they want to connect," says the halftime show's production designer, Bruce Rodgers.

The seven-minute performance featured a medley of three tracks from the six-time Grammy Award nominated country singer-rapper’s latest album, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going – “Last of My Kind,” “Highway” and, of course, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” currently tied for the longest-running No. Millions, of course, saw Shaboozey’s segment – well-received by the crowd despite echoey sound in portions of the stadium – on CBS as they were watching the NFC conference-leading Lions hang on for a 23-20 victory over the Chicago Bears. “If I do the song right, maybe they’ll ask me some day” to perform for Thanksgiving halftime, quipped Daniels, whose new independent film “Reykjavik,” about U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev’s 1986 nuclear summit in Iceland, is due out next year.
