Artists from pop icons to rock legends have vied for a spotlight at the event since the beginning of time, seeing it as a career-defining moment that can catapult album sales and cultural resonance alike.

Amid endless speculation about Taylor Swift giving the Super Bowl halftime stage a chance, a Daily Mail source recently confirmed she is in talks to perform at next year’s event. “Negotiations are happening,” the insider claimed, adding that the NFL hopes to announce the news sometime right before Thanksgiving. While Swift is considering the opportunity, the source stressed that she does not feel pressured if it does not happen, noting she would, in fact, prefer to do it later when Travis Kelce could be in the stands.

Meanwhile, should Taylor Swift pass on the opportunity for Super Bowl 2026, other names per the Daily Mail source being explored are Post Malone and Jelly Roll, with Jay Z, the event’s producer, looking at making the show “a little country.” Regardless of the Super Bowl, clearly looking at other options, Swifties, for their part, are convinced the ‘Lover’ hitmaker is all set to perform at the event in question, and their sleuthing skills act as the base for all their perceptions.[1][2]
Taylor Swift’s New Heights appearance sparked a frenzy of speculation, with her fans convinced she subtly hinted at her Super Bowl halftime show.
Exploring Taylor Swift’s clues for her potential Super Bowl show
During her New Heights appearance alongside Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, according to Swifties, dropped several intriguing Easter eggs. According to them, she mentioned sourdough multiple times, and the bread notably serves as the official mascot of the 49ers. The team, in the same vein, calls Levi’s Stadium home, where the next Super Bowl is scheduled. Fans also point out that her saying she talks about sourdough 60 percent of the time mirrors the 60th Super Bowl this season, while repeated references to the number 47 link back to her 47th Eras Tour show at Levi’s.[3]
