The Super Bowl halftime stage has hosted the biggest icons in music, but it looks like the NFL is aiming for its most anticipated performance yet.

An insider revealed, “Negotiations are happening with Taylor to potentially do the next Super Bowl. The NFL would like to make the announcement sometime right before Thanksgiving.”

Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl hints spark frenzy

Swifties wasted no time connecting dots after Taylor’s appearance on the New Heights podcast. The singer spoke repeatedly about sourdough—an oddly specific detail, considering the San Francisco 49ers’ mascot is “Sourdough Sam” and the Super Bowl will take place at Levi’s Stadium, home of the 49ers. Even more intriguing, Taylor mentioned she talks about sourdough 60 percent of the time, aligning with the 60th Super Bowl this season. She also referenced the number 47 multiple times, a nod fans link to her 47th Eras Tour show at Levi’s Stadium.These Easter eggs sent the internet buzzing, fueling speculation that Swift has been teasing the event all along. For a star known for hiding clues in her work, the timing feels too precise to dismiss.

NFL’s big bet on Taylor Swift

If Swift takes the stage, she would join an elite lineup that includes Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, and Kendrick Lamar—artists whose performances have defined the halftime legacy. Yet Taylor’s appeal goes beyond music. Her presence would bring unmatched cultural momentum, uniting NFL audiences with the massive Swiftie fanbase.Still, the insider noted that Taylor is in no rush. “She would love to do the show a few years from now so Travis can experience it and not be in the locker room if the Chiefs just so happened to be in the game. At the end of the day, though she wants to do it eventually, she doesn’t have to do it at all—her career is just fine as it is.”If things don’t fall into place this year, Roc Nation reportedly has backup options, with Post Malone and Jelly Roll being considered to bring a country twist to the show.For now, all eyes are on whether Swift will turn these Easter eggs into the most-watched halftime spectacle yet.Also Read: “Invading my beautiful sport”: NFL fans react negatively to MrBeast and Merrianne Do’s appearance, blasting YouTube’s first broadcast as a flop
