Somebody else took to Twitter: “What if BTS perform on the thanksgiving day parade.”

The boys have been in the US recently, so the idea of a BTS performance wasn’t too outlandish. Here’s to hoping they’ll make an appearance next year!

Has a K-Pop group performed at the parade before?

Back in 2019, NCT 127 made history by being the first K-Pop group to perform at Macy’s Thanksgiving parade.

The group rode through NYC on a LEGO float, performing fan favourite ‘Highway to Heaven’.

Likewise, girl group aespa are performing at the Macy’s event this year, reports say. Meaww reports that aespa’s parade performance will be their first-ever live international performance. Exciting!

Who is performing at the Macy’s event?

Other than aespa, watchers of the parade can expect to see the likes of Carrie Underwood, Jon Batiste, Nelly, Andy Grammer, and Foreigner.

Kelly Rowland, Jimmie Allen, Kristin Chenoweth, and Rob Thomas will also be joining.

Have a great Thanksgiving!
