Ava Max Brought Pop Heat Straight Into The Fireworks
One week ago today, on July 4, 2025, pop sensation Ava Max delivered a saucy, anthemic and fully poptastic performance of “Wet, Hot American Dream” during the Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks special.
Broadcast nationwide on NBC, the set matched the song’s oversized title with high-energy vocals, red-white-and-blue spectacle and enough pop confidence to compete with the actual fireworks. Subtlety was never invited, and frankly, the night was better for it.

“Wet, Hot American Dream” was built for this kind of television moment. The hook arrives big, the attitude stays playful and the performance gives Ava room to lean into the theatrical side of her pop persona without letting the vocal disappear behind the production.
The timing also made the track feel like a ready-made holiday anthem—part summer fantasy, part glossy Americana and entirely committed to thee spectacle. Ava did not simply perform beside the fireworks; she showed up determined to become one of them.
