Taylor Swift explains why she won't perform at the Super Bowl: 'I'm just too locked in'
"Swift was promoting her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl," on "The Tonight Show." She was playing a game where she debunked rumors about herself with host Jimmy Fallon. One such rumor was that Swift had turned down an offer to perform at the halftime show because the National Football League wouldn't let her own the rights to her performance footage. "Jay-Z has always been very good to me.""
"Kelce has seen three Super Bowl wins in 2020, 2023, and 2024 with the Kansas City Chiefs. "We are always able to tell him the truth, which is that I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field. That is violent chess, that is gladiators without swords, that is dangerous," Swift said of her team's exchanges with Jay-Z."
Taylor Swift will not headline the next Super Bowl halftime show; Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny will. Swift said she was in touch with the show's producers but never received a formal offer. She said she was not interested because she wanted to focus fully on supporting fiancé Travis Kelce and his gameplay. Roc Nation has produced Super Bowl halftime shows since 2019 and worked with the NFL and Apple Music to book Bad Bunny for February 2026. Kelce has three Super Bowl wins with the Kansas City Chiefs. Swift announced her engagement to Kelce in August.
