Give Miley Cyrus Her Flowers & Let Her Do The Super Bowl

"I always think the Super Bowl feels like too much pressure. I would have to do the mental work of making it not about the Super Bowl, because then you can't help but go, 'It's millions of people, and it's the most-watched thing in the world.'"

"But if I could find a way to make it exactly what the Hannah-versary was - taking a journey through the discography and appreciating each song, each era for what it is - I think I could find it in myself."

"For the past three years, male performers have dominated the Super Bowl, with Usher, Kendrick Lamar, and Bad Bunny doing the halftime show. While all three artists delivered entertaining and culturally significant performances in their own right and featured female guests like Alicia Keys, SZA, and Lady Gaga, respectively, it's time for a woman to take center stage again."

Miley Cyrus revealed she would consider performing at the Super Bowl halftime show, though she initially expressed concerns about the pressure and scale of the event. She explained that she would need to mentally reframe the performance to avoid being overwhelmed by the magnitude of millions of viewers. Cyrus stated she could accept the opportunity if allowed to approach it similarly to her Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special, taking audiences through her discography and appreciating each song and era. Currently the betting favorite on FanDuel for the 2027 Super Bowl ahead of Taylor Swift and Drake, Cyrus's openness to the role comes as male performers have dominated the halftime show for three consecutive years, with industry observers noting that female-led performances historically generate more conversation and cultural impact.
