In January 2016, during the "I Don't Know Tour," Jimmy Buffett made a surprise appearance in Houston alongside NFL star J.J. Watt as they performed his iconic song "Margaritaville." At this point in his career, Buffett had recently released the album "Songs from St. Somewhere" in 2013, which continued his exploration of island-themed storytelling and laid-back melodies. This era marked a significant time for Buffett, as he continued to garner a loyal fanbase known as "Parrotheads," blending his musical career with various ventures, including restaurants and lifestyle branding. The Houston performance exemplified his ability to merge music with unexpected pop culture moments, reinforcing his status as a beloved artist well into his later career. The collaboration with Watt not only appealed to Buffett's audience but also highlighted the crossover of music and sports in entertainment.
