Eminem made a surprise appearance amid Jack White’s National Football League (NFL) Thanksgiving Halftime Show on Thursday.
During a break in the game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, The White Stripes frontman walked onto a stage set up at the Ford Field stadium in his native Detroit, Michigan.
White opened the set with his 2024 song, That’s How I’m Feeling, before launching into The White Stripes’ 2000 track, Hello Operator.
The rocker then welcomed Eminem to the stage, with the rapper breaking into an electrifying rendition of his 2002 hit, ‘Till I Collapse.
“Ladies and gentlemen, Detroit’s own, Eminem!” the 50-year-old announced as the Slim Shady star rose up on a platform amid a cloud of white smoke.
At the end of his cameo, Eminem declared, “Detroit! Happy Thanksgiving, y’all,” before leaving the stage.
To conclude the set, White offered up an energetic version of The White Stripes’ mega-hit, Seven Nation Army, with the Detroit Lions Cheerleaders performing choreography on the field.
Taking to Instagram after the gig, the musician simply wrote, “Detroit.”
In addition, the hip-hop icon commented, “Detroit thank u!!! So great to join @officialjackwhite with @iamdenaun at the @detroitlionsnfl Thanksgiving Halftime Show!”
And Eminem’s daughter, Hailie Jade, shared that she was at the game too.
The influencer posted a short video of herself at the stadium holding her baby son Elliot, who was wearing earmuffs. Hailie and husband Evan McClintock welcomed their first child in March.
Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, produced the Thanksgiving Halftime Show.
Earlier this month, the 53-year-old and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, announced that they had signed a multi-year partnership with the Detroit Lions to produce events and consult on talent selection for all aspects of halftime production through 2027.
