Taylor Swift and Post Malone's Potential Halftime Performance at Cowboys vs. Chiefs Thanksgiving Game
Taylor Swift's 2024 album "The Tortured Poets Department" features a track called "Fortnight" where she collaborates with Post Malone on a song about a tumultuous love affair. Speculation is rife that Post Malone may perform at the Thanksgiving matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs at AT&T Stadium on Nov. 27, with hints dropped by the Cowboys on social media pointing to Malone as the halftime act. Malone's ties to the Cowboys, including his father's employment at AT&T Stadium, and his previous interactions with the team, add fuel to the speculation.
The video teaser released by the Cowboys features clues like the sound of truck horns, which align with Malone's horror graphic novel "Big Rig" that involves an 18-wheeler with bull-like horns. Additionally, Malone has a history of supporting the Cowboys and has even been spotted watching games at a Grapevine burger joint. The presence of Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey in the teaser video, along with Malone wearing Aubrey's jersey at a concert earlier, further stirs anticipation for Malone's potential performance at the Thanksgiving game.
On the other hand, Taylor Swift, who recently got engaged to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has been a vocal supporter of Kelce at his games. While her attendance at the Thanksgiving game is uncertain, the prospect of seeing Swift at the event has led to a surge in ticket prices. Cowboys general manager Jerry Jones has hinted at preparing an elaborate seat for Swift if she decides to attend the game, showcasing the excitement surrounding the possible appearances of both Swift and Malone at the event.
During the 2024 Video Music Awards, Swift and Malone won the best collaboration award for "Fortnight," with Swift praising Malone for his talent and politeness. Swift jokingly mentioned Malone's habit of calling her "ma'am" and expressed her admiration for his collaborative spirit in the music industry. The anticipation for a potential joint performance by Swift and Malone at the Thanksgiving game adds to the excitement surrounding the event, making it a highly anticipated matchup for fans of both artists and football enthusiasts alike.
