The possibility of Taylor Swift headlining the Super Bowl half-time show has emerged as a talking point, with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell expressing that it is a “maybe.” This potential performance comes after Swift’s engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in August 2023, and her frequent attendance at Chiefs games since they began dating. The Super Bowl LX is scheduled for February 8, 2024, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
In an interview with NBC’s Today show, Goodell stated, “We would always love to have Taylor play. She is a special, special talent, and obviously she would be welcome at any time.” When asked for further clarification, he added, “I can’t tell you anything about it,” before reiterating that it is a “maybe.”
Swift’s potential appearance would follow last year’s record-breaking half-time show featuring rapper Kendrick Lamar, which attracted 133.5 million viewers, making it the most-watched in Super Bowl history. Previous performances have included icons like Beyoncé, Prince, Madonna, and Lady Gaga.
If Swift joins this prestigious list, it would mark a significant moment for the NFL, considering her expansive global fan base. Additionally, the Super Bowl could serve as an excellent platform for Swift to promote her upcoming 12th studio album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl’, which is set to be released on October 3, 2023.
As excitement builds for the upcoming NFL season, fans can anticipate the return of thrilling games broadcast on Sky Sports. The network has recently secured a new three-year deal with the NFL, extending its partnership to over 30 years and solidifying its position as the leading broadcaster for NFL games in the UK and Ireland.
Sky Sports will provide coverage of the best games each week, including the first-pick exclusive game on Sundays at 18:00, with additional games available concurrently. NFL RedZone will also continue to air every Sunday, alongside coverage of Thursday Night, Sunday Night, and Monday Night Football, as well as Thanksgiving games, the Playoffs, and the Super Bowl.
Whether or not Taylor Swift will grace the Super Bowl stage remains uncertain, but her presence would undoubtedly elevate the event and engage millions of fans worldwide.
