Cher, the iconic superstar, gave a captivating performance at the 2023 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, leaving the crowd in awe. Her appearance served as the grand finale to the morning’s festivities, boosting the holiday spirit across the nation.
This 77-year-old actress and singer wowed the audience with her new track, “DJ Play a Christmas Song,” from her latest album, Christmas. Backed by a group of dancers carrying large red hearts, Cher’s performance drew applause, even from onlookers like Flavor Flav, who joined in the cheering and clapping from the streets of New York City.
Her showmanship and grace prevailed even through a brief technical glitch, where distorted video colors briefly interrupted the live feed, but did not deter Cher’s magnetic presence.
Donned in her dazzling cold-weather attire, which featured bedazzled black pants and a sparkling silver coat, Cher delivered a spellbinding performance that left an indelible mark on the parade. She even shed her coat during her act, adding to the spectacle.

In an interview earlier this year, while promoting her Christmas album, Cher expressed her sentiments about her music career, acknowledging her self-critical nature and her evolving appreciation for her own work. She confessed, “I’ve made so many albums, and some of the ones I thought were as good as I could like an album of mine weren’t hits. And then other ones that I was not that excited about [were].”
Reflecting on her journey, Cher admitted, “So I like this album. I’m not a Cher fan, but I like doing it. When I listen to [Christmas], I think this worked out.”
She further revealed, “I just never liked my voice that much. If I had my choice, I probably would have another one, but I didn’t get my choice. I got my mother’s voice.”
