 But this year, Thanksgiving will look much different, as the Emmy Award-winning multi-platinum artist and singer-songwriter will spend the morning performing in this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade alongside fellow music powerhouses such as Jennifer Hudson, Kylie Minogue and Idina Menzel.

 A couple years ago, I couldn't imagine being out in public, let alone on a float in front of millions of people on national TV, says the "Fight Song" hitmaker. "But look at me now. I was able to make it out of all that pain and instead, I get to shine and be in front of millions of people on Thanksgiving."

 Indeed, Platten has been nothing but completely transparent and vulnerable about the mental health struggles that have plagued her in recent years — including everything from postpartum depression to unrelenting anxiety.

 “It's quite a miracle that I made it through it and that I am here and that I'm so strong,” Platten explains. “The same emotional waves take me like they always did, but I have all these tools like therapy and journaling and meditation in my tool chest now that I know how to work with them and let them move through. It's not necessarily that I changed, but I have learned how to accept all of me and love all of me, and that is what I'm most grateful for these days."

 Certainly, some of Platten’s deepest and ferocious fights with herself found a way into the music of her new album I Am Rachel Platten, and especially on soul-baring songs such as “Mercy.”

 I wrote that song alone in my studio in the middle of the night crying out for mercy, she recalls of the stirring song that now finds a home on Platten’s first studio album in seven years. "I was in so much pain from everything I'd gone through that I just couldn't take anymore. The song came to me in 20 minutes or so, almost as if I was chasing it and it was already existing. It was sort of an answer in the moment — you might not be okay right now, but you will be someday."

 She was reminded of that overall meaning this past October when she received the coveted Voice for Change award from the National Alliance of Mental Illness of New York City for her work advocating for mental health.

 As a musician, you're taught to strive for one kind of achievement, one kind of success, one kind of award — and we forget the very purpose of art is to transcend the art form, she says. "It's to impact people and to be rewarded for impacting people beyond just my industry. It's almost bigger than I can grasp. [That award] means so much to me."

 It will also mean so much to Platten that she will have her husband Kevin Lazan and their two daughters — daughters Violet Skye, 5, and 3-year-old Sophie Jo — joining her in New York for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

 “It's a lot to come from the West Coast and then bring the kids into the city, but my husban is graciously going to do it," Platten tells PEOPLE with a laugh. "I think my nieces and nephews are also coming, so it's going to be really cute."

 What else matters than our own ability to measure ourselves from the past to today? Platten questions. "I think that's the only marker we should ever compare ourselves to. It’s all about keeping it in perspective – from where I was to where I am now. It's an important perspective shift, and I'm going to keep it in mind on Thanksgiving."

 On Monday, Nov. 25, Beloate — who's on Team Snoop — took the stage for his playoffs performance of "The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" on The Voice.

 I haven't been that touched listening to anybody sing until you. You have got a voice that really penetrated my heart. It really got me. I can see you on Broadway. I want to come see you when you're there, McEntire, 69, said with tears in her eyes.

 I'm over here shedding tears of joy, man. You made me feel like I was sitting at a real Broadway play. I'm crying and I don't care because my seat next to me, she's crying. So I guess it's OK to cry, he said.

 The rapper continued, "Something about the way you make me feel. Jeremy you're a blessing in disguise. I'm so thankful to have you on my team and I'm thankful to be able to hear you sing. Thank you brother."

 Christina is great for live shows because she is a fiery female that can sing good old-fashioned country music. Christina Eagle had one chair turn. She had one wing when I met her and she got a second wing. And now as you can see, the eagle has landed, he said.

 Nader, 28, and Savenchko, 41, were captured packing on the PDA in a new TikTok posted by their Dancing with the Stars costar Emma Slater on Monday, Nov. 25.

 The video shows the DWTS partners in a tight embrace near the dance floor, with Savchenko lifting Nader in his arms as she straddles his waist.

 Nader seemingly spotted the professional dancer filming and shouted as she jumped back to the floor. But Nader still kept Savchenko in her embrace, and the two continued to hug one another — but with both of Nader’s feet on the ground.

 Sosa, 24, also posted a video of the couple to his TikTok page on Nov. 25. Sosa was joined by his former partner, Anna Delvey before the video cut to Savchenko and Nader sharing some more PDA and near-kisses.

 In Sosa’s video, Nader sits on a chair and hugs Savchenko as he stands beside her, and she hugs his waist as he rests his forehead on hers.

 The Nov. 25 videos follow the previous dating rumors between the pair during their appearance together on the current season of DWTS. Throughout their run on the show, they were spotted kissing backstage, posting flirty videos on TikTok and getting tattoos together.

 The pair’s latest sighting comes after a source told PEOPLE in late October that the couple split a week after their Oct. 15 elimination from DWTS.

 On Oct. 24, Nader posted a video on TikTok, in which Miles Teller’s viral breakup speech from Whiplash played over a clip of her sitting at a table looking confused.

 On Friday, Nov. 22, the couple announced they are expecting their fourth child—and their fourth daughter—in an Instagram pregnancy announcement. The two share daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 21 months.

 Along with Jason’s mom, Donna Kelce, and his brother Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift celebrating the news, several fans of the couple were eager to share in the excitement. One fan posted a TikTok video on Saturday, Nov. 23, but brought up one ongoing joke between the couple and Travis.

 In the video, the user said the pair’s “beautiful” daughters “look exactly” like Jason, 37. She then added that the expectant mother, 32, “needs to bring genes for Kylie.”

 The user’s video was a nod to a viral clip from Jason and Travis’ New Heights podcast, in which Jason explained how he ended up wearing shorts and flip-flops to the premiere of Kelce, a documentary about Jason's life on and off the field.

 During the Sept. 13, 2023 episode of the podcast, Jason explained to Travis that Kylie “was running late” and she was going to “bring the jeans.”

 Jason and Travis Kelce pose for a photo during Game 1 of the NLCS between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Monday, October 16, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

 Following their Nov. 22 pregnancy announcement, Kylie also responded to a different, and earlier, TikTok, that included fans’ speculation that she was pregnant. She posted a clip on the social media platform of a hilarious throwback from July in which she stated she was not pregnant amid fan speculation.

 The new video begins with a clip from the July upload in which Kylie smiled as she shook her head, stating, "I have had a number of articles written about me since the middle of last football season stating that I am pregnant. I am not."

 As Kylie says, "I am not," it slows down and is interrupted by a screeching sound effect being heard and "Famous last words" appearing on screen. The clip then cuts to a scene of Kylie and Jason's three daughters posing for the pregnancy announcement.
