Bebe Rexha is ready to board the turkey train — or the Jennie-O turkey float to be precise. The Grammy-nominated singer, 31, is set to perform her hit single “Baby, I’m Jealous” — which she released with Doja Cat last month — on the beloved turkey brand’s float during the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this Thursday. The parade, which typically draws crowds of 3 million, will be a television-only spectacle this year amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, airing from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on NBC. Rather than follow its typical 2.5-mile route, the floats will be localized outside Macy’s headquarters in New York City’s Herald Square. “I’m really happy to be doing the parade, even though there’s not going to be a crowd,” Rexha tells People magazine. “It still brings people together, it’s still unifying.” The Staten Island native grew up watching the parade, which makes performing in it extra sentimental. “That was a family thing, every year,” she says of tuning in with her family. “We’d wake up in the morning super early, my mom would prepare the turkey and I’d wake up and help her and we’d turn on the parade.” (SD-Agencies) |
