Thanksgiving in the US is a mix of food, family debates, and long conversations that drift from recipes to celebrities. It is also a day when millions try to avoid politics by discussing famous people as if they were guests. And this year, a new BetMGM Google Trends analysis<\/a> shows exactly which stars Americans talk about the most at the holiday table.<\/p>\n

National Trends: Britney Rules, Actors Dominate<\/p>\n

Across the country, Britney Spears leads the national conversation with a huge 81% curiosity score. Meanwhile, Will Smith follows closely at 78%, and Adele lands in third place at 77%. <\/p>\n

Actors claim most of the spotlight this year. In fact, 13 states searched for film stars more than anyone else. Only seven states focused on musicians. Athletes and politicians barely made a dent in the rankings, proving once again that Thanksgiving is not the moment for sports scores or tax policy.<\/p>\n

Michigan Picks Eminem<\/p>\n

But the national picture only tells part of the story. Because when you look at Michigan, the results shift dramatically.<\/p>\n

Michigan chose Eminem \u2013 not Britney, not Will, not Adele \u2013 as its top Thanksgiving celebrity. And it was not even close. According to BetMGM\u2019s data, Eminem scored a perfect 100\/100 in Michigan\u2019s search history, beating out 99 other celebrities without lifting a finger or taking off his hoodie.<\/p>\n

So, while the rest of the country is chatting about Britney\u2019s Instagram posts or Will Smith\u2019s comeback, people in Michigan know exactly who they want at their table. They want the local legend, the hometown hero. They want Slim Shady.<\/p>\n

And honestly, can you blame them? Eminem represents Michigan like no one else. He is an integral part of the state\u2019s cultural identity, its music history, and its global legacy. Therefore, it is only natural that Michiganders bring him up during Thanksgiving dinner. Whether they\u2019re talking about his lyrics, his Detroit roots, or his unforgettable halftime performance, he is a guest at every table. Especially this year, when he produces the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Halftime show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Holiday Crown for Slim Shady<\/p>\n

Eminem may not top the national list this year, but in Michigan, he is the undefeated champion. Britney may rule the country, but in the Great Lakes State, they are carving the turkey with Slim Shady.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanksgiving in the US is a mix of food, family debates, and long conversations that drift from recipes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137562,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[4933,156,367,2145,157,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-137561","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-eminem","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-google","11":"tag-michigan","12":"tag-music","13":"tag-new-zealand","14":"tag-newzealand","15":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137561\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
