If NFL commissioner Roger Goodell&#8217;s comments during his appearance Wednesday on the &#8220;Today&#8221; show are any indication, there&#8217;s a real possibility of Taylor Swift headlining the Super Bowl LX halftime show.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We would always love to have Taylor play. She is a special, special talent, and obviously she would be welcome at any time,&#8221; Goodell said, when asked if Swift was invited to play the Super Bowl.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Is it in the works?&#8221; &#8220;Today&#8221; show host Savannah Guthrie asked.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I can&#8217;t tell you anything about it,&#8221; Goodell replied.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Is it a maybe?&#8221; Guthrie followed up.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s a maybe,&#8221; he hedged.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DOI8LpMin6q\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.espn.co.uk&amp;rp=%2Fnfl%2Fstory%2F_%2Fid%2F46147349%2Fsuper-bowl-lx-roger-goodell-taylor-swift-maybe-half-show#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A14397.700000000012%2C%22ls%22%3A3112.7000000000116%2C%22le%22%3A14163.599999999977%7D\" height=\"987\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe>Despite Goodell&#8217;s noncommittal response, Swifties have been speculating for months that the stars (read: numbers) are aligning for the pop superstar &#8212; who is newly engaged to\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0tight end\u00a0Travis Kelce\u00a0&#8212; to take center stage in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n<p>Levi&#8217;s Stadium serves as the home to the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers, and four plus nine equals Swift&#8217;s lucky No. 13.<\/p>\n<p>If that isn&#8217;t enough evidence, consider that she now owns the rights to her first six albums, and the <strong>&#8220;soda wars&#8221;<\/strong> (Pepsi became the main sponsor of the halftime show in 2013, the same year Swift signed a deal with Coca-Cola) became a thing of the past when Apple Music took over the official sponsorship role in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also the business of Swift&#8217;s upcoming 12th studio album, <em><strong>&#8220;The Life of a Showgirl,&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> which will be released Oct. 3. That&#8217;s after the eligibility deadline for the 68th Grammy Awards, so she may be inclined to put on a show of her own in early February.<\/p>\n<p>On the off chance you&#8217;re still not buying it (we appreciate the skepticism), it&#8217;s worth pointing out Swift&#8217;s love of\u00a0sourdough bread, a San Francisco-area staple.<\/p>\n<p>It would be a full circle moment for the singer, who performed the national anthem at the Detroit Lions&#8217; Thanksgiving Day game back in 2006 and at the 2010 NFL kickoff concert in New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p>Swift also teased &#8220;ME!&#8221; at the 2019 NFL draft and debuted the trailer for her album <strong>&#8220;Midnight&#8221;<\/strong> during the third quarter of the\u00a0New Orleans Saints\u00a0and\u00a0Arizona Cardinals&#8217; 2022 showdown.<\/p>\n<p>Dare we say, it&#8217;s been a long time coming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roger Goodell hedges on Taylor Swift as Super Bowl LX halftime headliner There&#8217;s a possibility the 14-time Grammy award-winning superstar could be the Super Bowl LX halftime&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":87830,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-showbiz"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
