Taylor Swift recently addressed rumors about performing at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2026. Fans were excited, but she denied turning down an offer, saying there was never an official one.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show, Swift explained her connection with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, which produces the halftime show. She clarified that talks were informal, mentioning her team sometimes asks how she feels about the event, but it’s not a formal offer.
The buzz grew among fans after the release of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. However, Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny was announced as the performer for Super Bowl LX in September.
Swift has become closely associated with the NFL, often spotted cheering for her fiancé, Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. Kelce has starred in the Super Bowl three times, with his team winning most recently in 2024.
While many big names have graced the Super Bowl stage—like Rihanna and Usher—Swift expressed that she finds it challenging to focus on a performance while her fiancé is on the field. She explained on Fallon’s show, “Can you imagine if he’s out there doing this very dangerous sport and I’m like, ‘I wonder what my choreography should be?'”
Swift noted that Kelce would support her decision to perform, but her focus will always be on him during the games.
With the rising interest in celebrity football interactions, social media has seen a surge in discussions around Swift and Kelce’s relationship. The hashtag #SwiftKelce is trending, showing how fans are diving deep into their lives and the potential for Taylor’s future involvement with the Super Bowl.
