T-Pain has had a massive impact on R&B, hip-hop, and pop over the last two decades. More than a performer, the Tallahassee, Florida native is also an accomplished entrepreneur, Twitch streamer, and so much more. Today, he added another item to his ever-growing resume when he made his Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade debut.

T-Pain rocked the crowd from the back of the Jennie-O Big Turkey Spectacular float. Making its return this year, the fan-favorite float features plenty of stage room for the “Drankin’ Patna” singer and a crew of dancers.

“I can’t wait to make my debut,” T-Pain told CBS News about the performance earlier this week. “I’ve got some surprises up my sleeve to help make it a happy turkey day and celebrate the start of the holiday season,” he assured the outlet. Fans across the nation can agree that he delivered on that promise this morning.
A T-Pain mashup/mini-concert was not on my bingo card, but I'm here for it.

T-Pain Rode in Style
For many families, Thanksgiving is all about the turkey. Jennie-O is one of the most popular producers of turkey products in the nation. So, the two go hand in hand. At the same time, one would be hard-pressed to find an individual who doesn’t like at least some of T-Pain’s output. So, everything came together nicely for his performance.

The Jennie-O Big Turkey Spectacular float is becoming a favorite among fans across the country. This makes the float’s fifth consecutive year in the parade. Sporting the brand’s gold and green colors, the float is 36 feet long, 25 feet wide, and 24 feet tall. The turkey’s eye-catching feathers stand an impressive two stories tall and could stretch across a football field.
In short, T-Pain didn’t just perform a handful of his biggest hits during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. He did so in style. More importantly, he gave fans across the nation something to be thankful for this morning.
