On Sunday afternoon, the Dallas Cowboys announced that Grammy-nominated recording artist Post Malone will perform at halftime of the team’s Thanksgiving game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 27.
Post Malone, born Austin Post, is a Grapevine native and has long been a fan of the Cowboys since his father was a concession worker at AT&T Stadium in the 2000s and 2010s. It will be his first appearance in the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving halftime show, although he did serve as a guest appearance for Beyoncé’s halftime show in 2024 for the Houston Texans’ Christmas Day game and performed “America the Beautiful” ahead of Super Bowl LVIII in 2024.
The concert, which benefits The Salvation Army and has helped raise millions of dollars for the charity since its inception in 1997. Notable performances have included Reba McEntire in 1997, Destiny’s Child in 2004, Luke Combs in 2021 and Dolly Parton in 2023.
It will be Post Malone’s fifth performance at AT&T Stadium after headlining his own festival in 2019, 2021 and 2022 along with a sold-out headlining performance in May 2025.
The announcement comes amid speculation that 14-time Grammy-winning recording artist Taylor Swift could make an appearance at the game. Her fiancé, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has had her in attendance for a handful of games in the past, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in October that she has a suite for the game if she wants it.
“We would have an elaborate seat for her if she should attend the game,” Jones said. “Nobody is a bigger fan of Taylor Swift than I am.”
Post Malone has had a long-standing relationship with the Cowboys since his emergence onto the music scene in 2015. In 2023, he was part of the team’s schedule release video on social media, and he has been seen at multiple games including the team’s 2019 playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams and their win over the New York Giants in 2024.
The halftime concert will run just under 15 minutes and will take place on the field. Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. CST on CBS.
