Rapper Eminem Steals the Show at Detroit Lions' Halftime Performance with Jack White
The 86th annual Thanksgiving Day Classic at Ford Field saw a electrifying halftime performance by hometown hero Jack White, who brought out fellow Detroiter and rapper Eminem to rock the stadium. The setlist, executive produced by Eminem's longtime manager Paul Rosenberg, kicked off with White's song "That's How I'm Feeling" from his 2024 album No Name.
Things took a dramatic turn when Eminem joined White on stage for an invigorating hard rock mash-up of Eminem's track "'Till I Collapse." The high-octane performance brought the house down, followed by a showstopping rendition of White's sports stadium favorite "Seven Nation Army," complete with the Detroit Lions Cheerleaders.
While the halftime show stole the spotlight, the Detroit Lions' early game was not quite as electrifying. The Green Bay Packers took an early lead, trailing only by three at 17-14 after two quarters. However, fans are hoping for a repeat of last year's win, which marked the first time since 2016 that the Lions have emerged victorious on Thanksgiving.
The Detroit Lions' partnership with White and Eminem has set a new standard for halftime productions through 2027, with the duo promising to bring high-energy performances every year. This year's collaboration was just the beginning of an exciting multiyear project that promises to elevate the excitement of the Lions' Thanksgiving Classic.

! I love how Jack White brought out Eminem and they totally killed it on stage 
! "Seven Nation Army" still gives me chills every time 
! And can you believe they're doing this again next year? I'm so down for more of that high-energy performance 
! But like, what's the deal with the Lions game being kinda slow 
️? Wasn't it supposed to be a big match or something? Guess the halftime show really stole the show 
!
... eminem and jack white bringing that raw energy to detroit's stadium, like they're channeling the city's spirit or something 
... but also, it makes me wonder, is this halftime show just a distraction from the real issues at hand? or is it something more? like, does it remind us that even in the darkest times, there's always gonna be a spark of greatness waiting to happen 
, but eminem and jack white are literally the perfect combo - their energy is infectious! i loved how they mashed up "'Till I Collapse" with "Seven Nation Army", it was like a whole new song 
. and yay for the lions bringing in some big names to spice up the game 
. can't wait to see what next year's show brings, hopefully eminem can bring his A-game again 
. the lions fans must've loved it tho 
still kinda hope they can pull off that win this year
. Like, I get it Jack White and Eminem are Detroit legends, but do we really need a 45-minute concert at the middle of a football game? Can't they just stick to their day jobs? 
so epic! i mean, who wouldn't want to see eminem rock out w/ jack white on stage? 
. anyway, gonna have to watch this game again now that eminem is on my radar lol 
. And let's be real, the Green Bay Packers got served 
. And don't even get me started on how Eminem seemed so unenthusiastic about being there... like, can't you just fake it till you make it, Em? 
. I'm hyped for next year's performance and can't wait to see what other surprises they have in store 
their energy is infectious, can't wait to see what they have planned for next year 
. Now, let's get back to the game, I'm not sure what happened in that second half
