Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl Halftime Show: Roger Goodell Spills the Tea
Hello there, I’m Jordan Collins, your go-to guide for all things celebrity gossip. I suppose I need to break it down for you, but let’s get started. During a recent appearance on the “Today” show, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell dropped a bombshell about Taylor Swift’s potential performance at the Super Bowl halftime show. When asked if the pop sensation is invited to play at Super Bowl 2026 in Santa Clara, California, Goodell responded with a simple yet telling “We would always love to have Taylor play. She is a special, special talent, and obviously she would be welcome at any time.”
Goodell’s comments come on the heels of Swift’s engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The 14-time Grammy winner has been a regular at Kelce’s Chiefs games, including their Super Bowl runs over the past two years. With her Eras Tour wrapped up and a new album on the horizon, Swifties everywhere are wondering if she’ll take the stage at the big game.
When pressed if a performance is “in the works,” Goodell remained coy, replying, “I can’t tell you anything about that,” before offering a tantalizing “maybe.” It’s clear that Goodell is eager to have Swift on board, but it seems the decision is ultimately in the hands of Jay-Z, whose company, Roc Nation, produces the halftime show. “I’m waiting on my friend Jay-Z to be able to help me with that one,” Goodell said with a chuckle. “It’s in his hands. I’m waiting for the smoke to come out.”
The buzz around Swift’s potential halftime show performance is heating up, especially given her history with the NFL. Kendrick Lamar, who collaborated with Swift on her 2014 track “Bad Blood,” performed in last year’s Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans. As the NFL season kicks off, fans are eagerly awaiting a decision about the performer for Super Bowl 2026.
Swift, 35, has been enjoying a relatively low-key offseason with Kelce, 35, but that’s about to change with the release of her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” on October 3. The singer’s relationship with Kelce has been making headlines, and a halftime show performance would undoubtedly be a major moment for the newly engaged couple.
As the NFL season gets underway, all eyes are on Taylor Swift and the possibility of her taking the Super Bowl stage. With Goodell’s enthusiastic endorsement and Jay-Z’s involvement, it’s clear that this is a possibility worth watching. Will Swifties get their wish, or will this be a case of “maybe” never coming to fruition? Only time will tell.
Glad I could fill you in on the latest scoop.
