Big Sean brought a double dose of inspiration to his native Detroit during the Lions’ Thanksgiving game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Ford Field on Thursday, Nov. 26.
The G.O.O.D. Music rapper performed two holiday-appropriate tracks, “One Man Can Change The World” and “Blessings.” He also brought a team of kids out onto the gridiron and lit up the stadium with dazzling pyrotechnics.

Before and after his performance, Sean took to Twitter to reflect on his epic Thanksgiving. “Grew up in D watching the Lions game every Thanksgiving and tomorrow we’re performing there @ Halftime! Crazy!,” he wrote prior to kickoff.
Big Sean’s vibes probably rubbed off on the Lions, as the team was later blessed with a 45-14 win. Watch a TV rip of Sean’s performance below.
