Post Malone’s electrifying performance at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas during the Dallas Cowboys vs. Kansas City Chiefs Thanksgiving game was not just a showstopper, but also a testament to his long-standing connection to the Cowboys. The Red Kettle Kickoff halftime show, which he headlined, not only entertained fans but also supported The Salvation Army’s charitable efforts.
For Malone, this performance was a full-circle moment. Growing up, he spent countless nights at the stadium, thanks to his father, Rich Post, who worked as the Cowboys’ assistant director of food and beverage from 2005 to 2019. According to Rich, the only rule in the family was that Malone had to be a Cowboys fan, a rule that Malone clearly embraced.
Malone’s ties to the team go beyond just being a fan. He has attended games at both Texas Stadium and AT&T Stadium since childhood and even performed at a Cowboys Christmas party in 2015. Now, as a 30-year-old singer who has made waves in the industry, Malone took the stage with a medley of hits that included tracks from his 2024 country album, “F-1 Trillion.”
The NFL’s official Instagram captured Malone’s performance, with fans raving about it in the comments. One fan even boldly claimed that Malone’s halftime show was better than the last five Super Bowl performances. Another praised him for making halftime great again and suggested he should have headlined the Super Bowl halftime.
Prior to the performance, Malone teased a “Texas big” show in a playful video trailer with the Cowboys’ mascot Rowdy. The halftime show itself was a high-energy experience, with the Cowboys Cheerleaders joining him for his hit track “Wow,” creating a visually striking performance. He closed out the set with “I Had Some Help,” showcasing his country influences while staying true to his signature style.
Post Malone’s Thanksgiving halftime performance at the Cowboys game continued the tradition of star-studded entertainment, following in the footsteps of A-list performers like Dolly Parton and Lainey Wilson who have graced the Thanksgiving stage in previous years. His dynamic set not only entertained fans but also solidified his place as a versatile and talented artist in the music industry.
