Cher captivated attendees and television viewers as she performed at the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on Thursday morning.
The 77-year-old songstress – who just released her first-ever Christmas album — entertained the crowd with a rendition of her new song DJ Play A Christmas Song.
As she closed out the procession, cameras caught music artist Flavor Flav, 64, visibly enjoying the show.
The wholesome display prompted a host of fans to take to X, formerly Twitter, to express their excitement about the unexpected cameo.
Dressed in a black bomber jacket, a green and black hat, and eyeglasses, the rapper flashed a huge smile as he clapped to the music.

An X user named Evan Mills shared a snippet of Cher’s electrifying performance and chimed in, ’Not Flavor Flav out her being a Cher stan,’ along with the hashtag ‘#MacysParade.’
Cher looked phenomenal and younger than her age as she rocked a loose-fitting button-up white shirt with a black tie loosely draped around her neck.
The former variety show co-host wore stylish black fingerless lace gloves. Her rich and voluminous rave locks were parted down the center and arranged in fluffy waves.
The longtime entertainer donned a pair of clinging black pants with studded details added in a linear design.
‘Starting a petition to have Cher and Flavor Flav perform together next year. #MacysThanksgivingDayParade #Thanksgiving #Cher #FlavorFlav,’ one person wrote on the internet.

The Thanksgiving Day Parade was not without a hitch, however.
Passionate pro-Palestine protesters stormed the spectacle as they demonstrated by flying Palestinian flags and calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
It comes as negotiations were reached this week, with an agreement on a pause in fighting through Friday.
Some activists even glued their hands to Sixth Avenue in an effort to derail the spectacle and call attention to the growing Middle Eastern crisis.
