The Dallas Cowboys just dropped a Post Malone announcement that fans didn't see coming.
On Sunday, an Instagram post revealed that the "Sunflower" hitmaker will be taking over the Thanksgiving halftime stage to kick off the launch of The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign.
On top of that, fans are gearing up for an exciting showdown between the Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 27 at AT&T Stadium.
"The Salvation Army's Red Kettle kick off will feature the biggest mashup and one of the biggest artists of our time," a voice-over in the video said, adding, "Post Malone is teaming up with the Dallas Cowboys and the Salvation Army to spread joy as big as Texas."
In the comments, fans were all fired up with the surprising announcement, as it instantly turned the holiday matchup into one of the season's most talked-about events.
"This is so good I'm excited to see what he has up his sleeve," one wrote.
"I can already tell this one is gonna be legendary!!!" a commenter noted.
"Finally, a reason to watch the Cowboys game," a third user said.
"THE PERFECT GIG FOR THE PERFECT GUY," another echoed.
The same goes for another who said, "The best featuring we could imagine for Thanksgiving. Let's go Posty and the Cowboys!"
Others predicted that this would be an "epic" game thanks to the "Congratulations" singer.
"I mean, we knew it! Sooooo excited to watch football and see Post Malone !!!!!! This game is epic," a follower said.
On the other hand, there were some who mentioned Travis Kelce's fiancée, Taylor Swift.
"Thank god it's not Taylor Swift, thank god!!," one wrote.
"He's alright, better than Taylor Swift!" a commenter remarked.
Following the announcement, Post Malone shared a heartfelt note expressing his delight at performing in such a special holiday event.
"Honored to be part of the @dallascowboys @salvationarmyus red kettle kickoff halftime show. See y'all on Thanksgiving," he captioned his Instagram post.
The 30-year-old musician, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, was born in New York but grew up in Texas.
What makes his performance extra special is that he's a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan and grew up watching their games.
Before Post Malone, the team invited some of the biggest entertainers to perform at halftime including Jonas Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Destiny's Child, Selena Gomez, Kelly Clarkson, Enrique Iglesias, LeeAnn Rimes, Keith Urban and more.
