Post Malone to Headline Thanksgiving Halftime Show at Dallas Cowboys Game: A Family Affair
Post Malone is set to headline the halftime show during the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day game against the Kansas City Chiefs. This performance holds special significance for the artist as his father, Rich Post, previously worked as the Cowboys’ assistant director of food and beverage for 14 years. Rich shared that the connection between his son's upcoming performance and his own tenure with the team is beyond what they could have imagined when Post Malone started his musical career.
Growing up, Post Malone, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, was a Cowboys fan, a rule set by his father. He attended games at Texas Stadium and AT&T Stadium, where he even performed his hit song "White Iverson" at the team's Christmas party in 2015. Post Malone's comfort at the stadium was such that he would occasionally spend the night there as a child, with a cot set up for him while his father worked.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed his excitement for Post Malone's halftime show, recalling the artist's familiarity with the stadium and his previous performances there. Post Malone's father, Rich, will watch the halftime show from a suite, enjoying a Thanksgiving dinner while reminiscing about the 14 years he spent working for the Cowboys.
The NFL announced that Post Malone, along with Jack White and Lil Jon, will perform at halftime on Thanksgiving. Post Malone expressed his honor at being part of the Red Kettle Kickoff with The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys, aiming to bring hope to many people through his performance. The upcoming halftime show promises to be a memorable event for fans and the Post family alike.
