Cher, the iconic and award-winning singer known as the “Goddess of Pop,” graced the stage at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 23, 2023. She performed her hit song “DJ Play a Christmas Song,” which debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart in October 2023. In a recent interview, Cher emphasized that her festive songs, like Mariah Carey’s, are not just your traditional holiday tunes; they are great songs in their own right.

Some Instagram users commented on Elder Ordonez’s post, noting that Cher seemed to struggle as she walked. One person speculated that it might be the boots she was wearing, while another questioned her age, claiming that she couldn’t even walk properly. However, a loyal fan came to Cher’s defense, reminding everyone that she is 77 years old and that it’s unfair to judge her based on her ability to walk. After all, who knows how well any of us would be walking at that age?
