Some thought Swift could have been a front-runner for Super Bowl LX, but Swift seemed to clarify that no formal offer was ever made. Three-time Grammy Award winner Bad Bunny was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6671870\/2025\/09\/28\/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">announced as the headliner<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n<p>Jay-Z\u2019s Roc Nation is responsible for choosing the halftime show performer. Swift said she has a good relationship with Jay-Z and his team, which has led to informal discussions about the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey sometimes will call and say how does she feel about the (mumbles) Super Bowl, and that\u2019s not an official offer or a conference room conversation,\u201d Swift said. \u201cWe\u2019re 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. The whole season, I am locked in on what that man is doing on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swift has been a regular attendee at Kansas City Chiefs games since she began dating tight end Travis Kelce in 2023. She said Kelce \u201cwould love\u201d for her to do the Super Bowl, but she is choosing not to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan you imagine if he\u2019s out there every single week putting his life on the line doing this very dangerous, very high-pressure, very high-intensity sport, and I\u2019m like, \u2018I wonder what my choreo should be?&#8217;\u201d Swift joked. \u201cI\u2019m just too locked in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swift detailed her newfound football fandom on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6552267\/2025\/08\/13\/taylor-swift-new-heights-travis-kelce-album-takeaways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Aug. 13 episode<\/a> of the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast, hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce. As it turns out, the podcast appearance was more than an opportunity to break viewership records (1.3 million concurrent views on YouTube) and announce Swift\u2019s new album \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swift revealed to Fallon that Travis proposed immediately after filming the episode. He used it as a \u201cdistraction\u201d while the proposal backdrop was set up outside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time he does the podcast, it\u2019s not like he blacks out all the windows. There were fully blacked-out drapes on every single window of the whole house,\u201d Swift said. \u201cHe\u2019s walking around, sort of nervous about the podcast. He\u2019s like, \u2018My heart is racing. \u2026 I know how much this means to you. I really want this to be what you hoped it would be.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never seen this dude nervous, ever. He\u2019s a professionally not nervous person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swift said it all made sense afterward when Kelce popped the question. The couple announced their engagement on Instagram on Aug. 26 with the caption, \u201cYour English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For now, a Super Bowl halftime performance isn\u2019t on pop star Taylor Swift\u2019s wish list.
