Taylor Swift may not get to fulfil her dream of headlining the Super Bowl LX halftime show after all.The pop music sensation, who recently announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has made it well known that she would love to perform at Super Bowl LX. But British singer Adele’s name has begun to gain some traction of late, with the 16-time Grammy Award winner reportedly in talks to be the headliner at Levi’s Stadium – the home of the San Francisco 49ers – in Santa Clara, California, per Page Six. Adele could make Super Bowl historyAdele was asked to headline the 2017 Super Bowl halftime show, though she quickly admitted that she had turned the opportunity down. “First of all, I’m not doing the Super Bowl… I mean, that show is not about music. I can’t dance or anything like that,” she said in 2016.“But they were very kind and they did ask me but I did say no.”Adele is reportedly in talks to be the Super Bowl LX headline act – a decade after declining the opportunityGettyThe last British act to perform at the Super Bowl was seven-time Grammy winners Coldplay, taking to the stage at Super Bowl 50, which was also held at Levi’s Stadium. Should Adele book the huge spectacle, she would make history by becoming the first British woman to take to the stage.The 37-year-old was seen in attendance at Super Bowl LVII in 2023 alongside her sports agent fiancé Rich Paul, though she did admit she was only there to watch the halftime act. “Last year I went, obviously I didn’t go for the football at all,” Adele told her fans last year. “I went to watch Rihanna.”Page Six’s report also touts “Party in the U.S.A” singer Miley Cyrus as being in strong contention for the headline gig, while heavy metal band Metallica also teased the possibility that it was them in August.There were reports that the NFL and sponsor Pepsi had reached out to the British star about headlining last year’s Super Bowl, though these claims were vehemently denied at the time.“We have had conversations with several artists about the Pepsi Super Bowl half-time show…,” they stated. “However, we have not at this point extended a formal offer to Adele or anyone else.”Taylor Swift’s dream could be crushedSince her appearance on the New Heights podcast, co-hosted by her fiancé Kelce and his brother, Jason, conspiracy theories have been in full swing, with ‘Swifties’ under the belief that the 35-year-old was dropping Easter eggs about the possibility of being the Super Bowl halftime act. In her appearance on the two-hour episode, Swift was asked about the Super Bowl multiple times, but it was sourdough bread that caught the attention of the Swifties.Swifties believe that the singer has already dropped hints about being the Super Bowl halftime actGettySwift has been a constant presence around the NFL since her relationship with Travis Kelce beganGettyDiscussing at length her obsession with baking, Swift spoke of how she spends “60 percent of the time ” talking about sourdough in particular. Though this seems nonchalant at first, the 49ers’ mascot is called Sourdough Sam, and the 2026 Super Bowl will be the 60th iteration of undisputedly the biggest game in pro football. Furthermore, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell even hinted at the possibility of “The Life of a Showgirl” singer headlining the set. “We would always love to have Taylor play,” Goodell told Savannah Gutherie on NBC’s Today Show, when asked if Swift had been asked to headline the Super Bowl halftime show. “She is a special, special talent, and obviously she would be welcome at any time…” “I can’t tell you anything about it,” Goodell added when asked if talks were in process. “It’s a maybe…” “I’m waiting on my friend Jay-Z to be able to help me… It’s in his hands.”The halftime performer is chosen by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, and is usually announced in September, so it won’t be long before the NFL’s choice is finally unveiled.
