Arlington, Texas – On November 27, 2025, Grammy-nominated artist Post Malone delivered a memorable halftime performance during the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day game against the Kansas City Chiefs at AT&T Stadium. The event marked the 29th annual Red Kettle Kickoff, a collaboration between the Cowboys and The Salvation Army to launch their holiday fundraising campaign.
Malone, a Texas native and lifelong Cowboys fan, honored the late defensive end Marshawn Kneeland by wearing a blue-and-white varsity jacket adorned with a “94” pin, reflecting Kneeland’s jersey number.
