NEW YORK — NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Taylor Swift<\/a> says she did not turn down the 2026 Super Bowl<\/a> halftime show, which will be headlined by Bad Bunny.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d<\/a> singer paid a visit to \u201cThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\u201d<\/a> on Monday and dispelled a few rumors. Most notably, she shared she did not turn down the NFL\u2019s biggest stage because she wouldn’t be allowed to own the performance footage, as claimed in a popular internet rumor.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no, no,\u201d Swift said.<\/p>\n

The Super Bowl halftime show is produced by the NFL,<\/a> Apple Music and Roc Nation \u2014 the latter founded by music mogul Jay-Z.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cJay-Z has always been very good to me. Our teams are really close. Like, they sometimes will call and say, \u2018How does she feel about the Super Bowl?\u2019 And that’s not like an official offer or, like, an official conference room conversation,” Swift told Fallon. \u201cWe’re always able to tell him the truth, which is that, like, I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field,\u201d she continued, referring to fiance Travis Kelce<\/a> \u2014 a star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and a Super Bowl champion.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike, that is violent chess. That is gladiators without swords. That is dangerous. The whole season I am locked in on what that man is doing on the field,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you imagine if he’s out there every single week, like putting his life on the line, doing this very dangerous, very high pressure, high intensity sport and I’m like, \u2018I wonder what my choreo(graphy) should be?,’\u201d Swift joked. <\/p>\n

“‘I think we should do two verses of \u2018Shake It Off\u2019<\/a> into \u2018Blank Space\u2019<\/a> into \u2018Cruel Summer\u2019<\/a> would be great.’ And this is nothing to do with Travis, he would love for me to do it, I’m just too locked in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, it was announced that global superstar Bad Bunny<\/a> will bring his Latin trap, reggaeton swagger and Puerto Rican pride to the Super Bowl<\/a> live from Levi\u2019s Stadium on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n

It’s an ideal casting: Bad Bunny is fresh off a historic Puerto Rico residency<\/a> that drew more than half a million fans and is leading all nominees at the Latin Grammys<\/a> in November. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019m feeling goes beyond myself,\u201d Bad Bunny said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown\u2026 this is for my people, my culture, and our history.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Bad Bunny hosted the season 51 premiere<\/a> of \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d<\/a> with a few jokes about his forthcoming Super Bowl halftime show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK — NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Taylor Swift says she did not turn down the 2026 Super…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60672,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[44827,127,146,122,85,46,22465,29761,105,13421,917],"class_list":["post-60671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-44827","tag-article","tag-entertainment","tag-general-news","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-nfl-football","tag-nfl-super-bowl","tag-sports","tag-theater","tag-u-s-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60671\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
