The rookie group's float stopped while they performed "Savage" from the first verse until the first chorus. Several individuals dressed in red suits can be seen in front of the girls and are dancing to the song as well.
With their "Savage" performance, aespa not only became the first K-pop girl group to ever perform at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade but also the second K-pop act to do so, following NCT 127. For starters, both aespa and NCT 127 debuted under SM Entertainment.
Back in 2019, NCT 127 was on the "LEGO" float and performed the fan-favorite song "Highway to Heaven."
