The holiday high has not worn off for Jewel. The legendary singer has just revealed the fun moments of her involvement in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which was a role she seemed to have enjoyed fully. While narrating her story, she humorously mentioned her ‘parade queen dream’ coming true and she even singled out her glam team, saying, ‘I wish every middle-aged woman had one!’ while at the same time being a bit wistful. The artist was outfitted in pieces from Gucci and R13, her makeup was by Katie Nova and her hair by Peter Butler.
The post was a sharing of an experience that was also a typical American celebration of a merry event. For the singer who was raised in Alaska and shot to fame in the 90’s with her hit ‘Who Will Save Your Soul’, it really was a very big thing to be part of such a longstanding tradition. The broadcast was like the concerts but with a greater reach, as she was an artist with balloons, bands, and millions of families watching at home.
Her followers responded immediately and very positively to her post. A lot of people thought that Jewel was the best part of the broadcast. One user commented, ‘You made the whole parade awesome!!!’ Another one simply stated, ‘Best part of Thanksgiving Parade …’ This shared view shows that it was her truthfulness and elegance that won the hearts of the audience.
One foreign fan sent a very touching note. ‘When will you come to perform in Shanghai, China?’ the person wanted to know. ‘I have been your fan since I was 11, now I am 21, and I still love your music,’ he or she said. This remark is a testimony to Jewel’s agelessness, her attraction to varied age groups, and the inability of distance to break the closeness through music.
Furthermore, some fans merely commented on her beauty and perfect execution of the technique. ‘Gorggggggg 😍 nailed the princess wave 👏,’ one user declared, pointing to the specific parade-appropriate skill that she had just demonstrated. Another described her as ‘a stunning, classy lady’, a phrase that suits the gracious and gentle persona she projected while on the float perfectly.
However, there were also non-celebratory comments. One user seized the opportunity to ask a rather straightforward and disconnected question about the impact of cruise ships on the environment in Alaska, mentioning Jewel’s native state. This comment serves as a reminder that for celebrities, every social media post can lead to the discussion of wider topics even when the subject matter is light-hearted.

Overall, the comments and discussions around Jewel’s parade recap portray a picture of an artist who is celebrating a unique milestone. It is a clear celebration for her and the people who have supported her through decades of career. She became part of a classic American tradition and, judging by the feedback, she completely excelled at it. The response shows that sometimes, all people need to see is a perfect princess wave and a radiant smile. Her recent Rocky Mountain hike shows she finds similar joy in nature. Fans can also look forward to her Hulu documentary on the historic Lilith Fair festival. In other news, she recently shared a secret to lasting love in a new boxing video and documented her Parisian adventure with a series of stunning selfies.
