No official decision has been made on who will be the halftime performer at the upcoming Super Bowl, but the current betting favorite is Miley Cyrus\u2026 which the NFL world isn\u2019t thrilled about.<\/p>\n<p>NFL World Isn\u2019t Excited About Miley Cyrus Potentially Headlining Super Bowl Halftime Show<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Miley Cyrus is a pop singer who blends rock and country into her music. She initially rose to fame by playing Hannah Montana in the Disney Channel show of the same name. Now, she is a global pop icon who has won multiple Grammy awards including Record of the Year for her song \u201cFlowers\u201d in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While Cyrus has fans of many different ages, some NFL observers argued that she doesn\u2019t seem like a good fit for the Super Bowl halftime show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cAccording to reports, Miley Cyrus is emerging as the \u2018favorite\u2019 to perform at half-time of Super Bowl 61 in Southern California. NFL fans have mixed reactions to that news, mostly negative,\u201d Marc Lawrence wrote on X. \u201cI understand. \u2018Hannah Montana\u2019 and the NFL are simply not a good mix. Sort of like a \u2018Wrecking Ball.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI just found out that Miley Cyrus might be the next Super Bowl halftime performer. They need to change the NFL to NHFL (No Hope Football League) from now on. I\u2019d rather listen to Freddy Krueger scratching a chalkboard for 20 minutes,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kenneth_carlin\/status\/2058738004722598315?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:added;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;added&quot;}\" class=\"link \">added<\/a> one user.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There were quite a few negative comments about Cyrus potentially headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, with some people throwing out alternatives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cNobody wants this. If they want country\/pop can we get Kane Brown?\u201d another user asked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Several users urged the NFL and Apple Music to select Metallica as the Super Bowl halftime act, while acknowledging that it\u2019s unlikely since they usually try to reach a younger demographic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI\u2019d rather see Metallica for 20 minutes, but I have come to grips with the fact that we\u2019re not going to get that halftime show,\u201d one user <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AlwaysKnocking\/status\/2058214477485527408\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:said;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;said&quot;}\" class=\"link \">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cMetallica or no one,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nuttallriley1\/status\/2058205520549314964?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:added;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;added&quot;}\" class=\"link \">added<\/a> another user.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The legendary band seems to be a popular option; however, the most recent bands to headline the Super Bowl halftime show were Maroon 5 (2019) and Coldplay (2016).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It will be interesting to see who gets the official nod for the halftime show, and if the rumors of Cyrus are true. Regardless, there\u2019s no way to please everyone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JustRay122\/status\/2058234675777421700?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:one user;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;one user&quot;}\" class=\"link \">one user<\/a> summed up, \u201cAnother year, another reason not to watch the Super Bowl Halftime Show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2026-27 NFL season is still months away, but there\u2019s already plenty of speculation over who will headline&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":665786,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[7074,59240,36574,36575,349,99,139593],"class_list":["post-665785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-dream","tag-halftime-show","tag-hannah-montana","tag-miley-cyrus","tag-nfl","tag-sports","tag-the-super-bowl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=665785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665785\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/665786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=665785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=665785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=665785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
