A source is weighing in on speculation that Taylor Swift will play the Super Bowl halftime show in 2027.
There are several reasons why Taylor likely won't play halftime next year.
Reminder: Super Bowl LXI is being held on Valentine's Day, a reported no-go for Taylor.
Wondering when / if Taylor Swift will finally headline the Super Bowl? About that! A source says the Grammy winner is #1 on the NFL's wish list, but ultimately the timing—and location—has to be right.
"Taylor is always someone the NFL wants for the halftime show, but it will be her decision - and her decision only - whether she ever wants to do it and when she would like to do it," the insider in question tells theDaily Mail. "Everyone will drop what they are doing and whoever they have asked if Taylor wants to do it. If she wants to do it, she will do it. It is as simple as that. But there are a handful of reasons she will not be doing it next year."
Specifically: the fact that it's on Valentine's Day, the fact that Travis might be playing, and the venue.
"The reason that Taylor isn't interested in doing it yet is because, for one, it falls on Valentine's Day," the source adds. "She would only like to be at the game next year if Travis is playing in it. Otherwise she will be a recent newlywed and would rather enjoy time with him than to perform on a day meant for love. If she were to also do it in the future, she would want Travis to be retired. Taylor also doesn't need to do it, but she knows that it would be a great thing for her legacy that is already concrete. But she has a few other milestones that she wants to achieve before doing the Super Bowl - marriage, family and all the important things in life."
As for the venue, her "dream stadium" is a place that's meaningful to her. "She would be interested in doing it in a place like Nashville if they ever get a Super Bowl," the source says. "The likelihood of that happening is pretty good as the Titans are meant to have a new stadium completed in 2027. The NFL hasn't announced where the Super Bowl will be held after the next two but Nashville is well-poised and ready to receive one and she would like to do it there."
In other words, don't count on Taylor playing the Super Bowl next year...but keep an eye out.
