Is Taylor Swift Performing at Super Bowl LX? Here’s Why Fans Are Convinced

Is there a real possibility of Taylor Swift headlining the next Super Bowl halftime show? 

“We would always love to have Taylor play,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told TODAY on Sept. 3. “She is a special, special talent, and obviously she would be welcome at any time.”

“I can’t tell you anything about it,” Goodell replied when asked if anything official was in the works. “It’s a maybe.”

In addition to Goodell’s comments, here’s why fans are theorizing about Swift’s potential involvement in Super Bowl LX, which will take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Feb. 8, 2026.

• Swift, of course, recently got engaged to Kansas City Chiefs tight end and three-time Super Bowl winner Travis Kelce last month after about two years of dating. Swift has attended 23 NFL games dating back to September 2023, including the past two Super Bowls — Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas and Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
• Swift appeared on a recent episode of “New Heights,” the mega-popular podcast hosted by Travis and his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. Eagle-eyed fans picked up on a few potential Easter eggs during the two-hour episode, which has been watched by over 22 million people. Swift talked a good bit about her “obsession” with baking sourdough. In fact, Swift mentioned that she thinks about sourdough “60% of the time.” Fans were quick to point out that this is Super Bowl 60 and that the venue, Levi’s Stadium, is home of the San Francisco 49ers, whose mascot is a fun-loving gold miner named Sourdough Sam.

• Swift also mentioned the number 47 multiple times during the “New Heights” episode, including specifically thanking Jason for his 47-second intro and joking about “visiting 47,000 countries” on The Eras Tour. Fans were quick to note that the 47th stop on The Eras Tour was at — you guessed it — Levi’s Stadium on July 28, 2023.
• What’s more, 47 plus 13 (Swift’s lucky number) equals 60. On “New Heights,” Swift explicitly stated her love for “numerology,” “math stuff” and “dates” as a way to give fans subtle clues that allude to her future projects.

This is not the primary time that Swift has been within the dialog to headline the Tremendous Bowl, although it is likely to be essentially the most substantial. Rumors swirled that she could be the headlining performer in 2023, however varied shops reported that she had turned down the provide as a result of she was within the strategy of re-recording her masters. 

Swift was reportedly as soon as once more thought-about to headline the present in 2024 however allegedly pulled out on account of scheduling conflicts with The Eras Tour. Swift carried out 4 nights in Tokyo from Feb. 7-10 earlier than famously flying 12 hours again to the U.S. after ending her last present in Japan to make it to Las Vegas in time for Tremendous Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11.
