Last year, Walker Hayes made his mark with a little help from TikTok, with his irresistible “Fancy Like” going viral and helping get the hip-hop influenced artist his first Number One. Now he’s teaming up with TikTok again … but this time officially, and with the NHL.

On Saturday, February 26, Hayes will perform at the “TikTok Tailgate Stage” ahead of one of the most watched professional hockey games of the year. He’ll sing “Fancy Like” and more with a full band at the 2022 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series in Nashville, entertaining Nissan Stadium just before the Nashville Predators take on the Tampa Bay Lighting in one of the few outdoor hockey games of 2022. Every artist dreams of playing stadiums, right?

Part of TikTok’s partnership with the NHL, Hayes’ performance will start at 5:30 pm ET, and the only way to see it is either being there in person, or tuning in to @nhl on TikTok.

“Sports content is evolving; fans on TikTok want to see an authentic and multi-dimensional side of the athletes, leagues, teams, and games they love,” said Daniel Habashi, GM, TikTok Canada “We’re lucky to work with partners like the NHL and NHLPA who recognize this and want to bring music and fashion into the fold – two verticals that are both integral to TikTok and extremely popular with our global community.”
