When Guthrie asked him to clarify if that was a \u201cmaybe,\u201d Goodell confirmed that it was indeed a \u201cmaybe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Swifties think the \u201cCruel Summer\u201d singer is dropping hints about performing at Super Bowl LX \u2014 you just need to read between the lines of her\u00a0New Heights\u00a0<\/em>podcast interview\u00a0with her\u00a0now fianc\u00e9, Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n Swift appeared on the podcast that\u00a0Travis Kelce\u00a0hosts with his brother Jason on Aug. 13 to talk about\u00a0her upcoming album,\u00a0The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>. As Swift often does, she dropped oodles of Easter eggs \u2014 or clues to her upcoming work \u2014 prior to the album reveal. But now, some fans think that she also teased clues during the interview that point toward the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n Nothing has been announced, and all of these fan theories are pure speculation. However, if Swift does perform at the Super Bowl, it would be her first time gracing the halftime show at the sporting event \u2014 a gig she\u00a0allegedly turned down before. But with\u00a0an NFL player husband-to-be\u00a0who has earned three Super Bowl rings in the past \u2014 and Swift now having\u00a0a ring of her own from Kelce\u00a0\u2014 it\u2019s possible that now is the perfect, most significant time for her to take the stage.<\/p>\n And some people are betting on it: The gambling website\u00a0Kalshi\u00a0now gives Swift a 59% chance of headlining the Super Bowl. Other artists who people think might perform at halftime include Post Malone (21%) and Metallica (9%).<\/p>\n But could Swift really fill the \u201cblank space\u201d of the halftime stage? Here\u2019s why some are convinced she\u2019s teasing the major performance.<\/p>\n If you speak Swiftie, the reasons are compelling. For one thing, Swift spoke explicitly about Easter eggs on the podcast \u2014 including mentioning how she loves using numerology to leave a trail of breadcrumbs. Fans who have tracked Swift\u2019s hints over the years saw it as a sign to look toward the numbers mentioned on the podcast \u2014 and one specific number stood out.<\/p>\n As multiple people on social media have pointed out, Swift referenced the number \u201c47\u201d twice in the podcast \u2014 once when she joked that she performed in \u201c47,000 countries\u201d for the Eras tour, and again when she thanked Jason for screaming for \u201c47 seconds\u201d when she revealed her new album on the pod.<\/p>\n Why is 47 significant? Well, as some on social media noted, the 47th show of the Eras tour was in Santa Clara, Calif., at Levi\u2019s Stadium. Where is the next Super Bowl being held?\u00a0Levi\u2019s Stadium<\/em>.<\/p>\n But that isn\u2019t all. As TikToker @SamKochman pointed out in\u00a0a video, there are more signs that seem to be pointing to this particular stadium. \u201cThe mascot for the 49ers is Sourdough Sam, and she spent a whole lot of time talking about sourdough,\u201d the TikToker noted, referencing how Swift gushed over her current baking obsession, even sending Kelce some bread during training camp. And she also said she\u2019s thinking about sourdough 60% of the time \u2014 potentially a reference to the upcoming 60th Super Bowl.<\/p>\n Oh, and here\u2019s some advanced Swiftie math: What\u2019s 47 plus 13, Swift\u2019s favorite number? Why, it\u2019s\u00a060<\/em>.<\/p>\n Another possible clue that Swift might be performing at the halftime show? She referenced her passion for those performances directly on the podcast, saying that she knew every halftime show from the Super Bowls even when she didn\u2019t watch sports.<\/p>\n And though Swift has since become a football fan, thanks to Kelce, the \u201cBlank Space\u201d singer teased that she has also seen some of the negative discourse around her at the games, another possible hint at what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n \u201cAs we all know, you know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast,\u201d Swift said. \u201cI think we all know that if there\u2019s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it\u2019s more of me.\u201d<\/p>\n So, will we see Swift come Super Bowl Sunday 2026? We\u2019ll have to wait and see, but it\u2019s worth noting that if an announcement is made, it will likely be soon: The choice of Kendrick Lamar to headline the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show was revealed on Sept. 8, 2024, and Usher\u2019s 2024 performance was announced on Sept. 24, 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Is\u00a0Taylor Swift\u00a0playing at the Super Bowl next year?\u00a0Fans are speculating, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell hasn’t done much to squash the rumors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":97124,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-taylor-swifts"],"yoast_head":"\nSwift may have dropped these numbers on purpose<\/strong><\/h2>\n
