Detroit Lions' Star-Studded Halftime Show Sparks Electric Energy at 86th Annual Thanksgiving Day Classic. Jack White kicked off the tradition with a blistering halftime set that saw him team up with hometown hero Eminem for a high-octane performance of "That's How I'm Feeling" and "Till I Collapse." A show-stopping rendition of "Seven Nation Army," accompanied by the Detroit Lions Cheerleaders, left fans electrified.
Despite an early-game slump from the home team, White's electrifying halftime set was just what Detroit needed to turn the tide. The Green Bay Packers were leading 17-14 after two quarters, but a White-led performance that showcased his hometown pride and sonic prowess should have put even the most skeptical of fans back in the stands.
The unlikely collaboration between Jack White and Eminem proved to be the highlight of the game, with both artists delivering a blistering hard rock mash-up that got the crowd on their feet. The dynamic duo was joined by fellow Detroiter Paul Rosenberg, who served as executive producer for the event alongside Eminem.
This year's partnership marks the beginning of a multi-year deal between the Detroit Lions and the White-Eminem-Rosenberg trio to produce all aspects of the team's halftime production. With this new deal in place, fans can expect even more high-energy performances at future Thanksgiving Day Classics.
The 86th Annual Detroit Lions' Thanksgiving Day Classic served as a fitting tribute to Jack White, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame earlier this month alongside Meg White. This year's event cemented his status as a hometown hero and solidified the enduring legacy of the White Stripes at Ford Field.

jack white absolutely crushed it with eminem, i mean who doesn't love a good hard rock mashup? 
it was like a breath of fresh air for the game, and that crowd went WILD! 
and i love how this new deal is gonna bring even more energy to future games - can't wait to see what they come up with next! 
plus, it's awesome to see jack white getting his due as a hometown hero - he totally deserves it after all the amazing music he's made over the years! 
! The way they mashed up "That's How I'm Feeling" and "Till I Collapse" got me jumping out of my seat. And can we talk about how cool it is that the Detroit Lions are finally getting some big-name talent involved in their halftime shows? This multi-year deal with Jack, Eminem, and Paul Rosenberg is gonna be huge for the team's brand. It's time to put Ford Field on the map and show the world what Detroit's all about 
!
omg what just happened!! i'm still reeling from that halftime show!!! jack white bringing out eminem live was insane!! i mean i know they're both detroit legends but to see them perform together on thanksgiving day was like a dream come true 
can't wait for next year's show!
it was like nothing else mattered except that music 
but still, eminem is kinda an acquired taste, you feel? 
.
... it just feels like corporate control is being asserted on our culture, you know? they're basically saying "hey, we want to own your Thanksgiving Day" with this commercialized production. and what's up with the deal between Jack White, Eminem, and Paul Rosenberg? it seems like a power play to me 
... i mean, can't they just let the team have some freedom to be themselves without bringing in all these "experts"? anyway, the show was lit 
. I love how they incorporated the Detroit Lions Cheerleaders into "Seven Nation Army" - it's such a fun twist on the classic song 
. And can we talk about Paul Rosenberg too? He's always been behind some amazing stuff with Eminem, and now he's part of this awesome collaboration 
. I'm so excited to see what future halftime shows have in store for us - it's going to be lit!
