Taylor Swift is a name that’s been on everyone’s lips as the new Super Bowl season approaches.
Fans of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reason to be excited as the singer is expected to make an appearance at Super Bowl LIX to cheer on her Kansas City Chiefs star boyfriend. All eyes will be on the stadium during the upcoming game between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, not only because of the big game, but also because of Taylor Swift’s presence in the stands.
America’s biggest sporting event in 2025 will feature Kendrick Lamar as a halftime performer, an exciting choice for music fans. As soon as the news was announced, many people asked: Could Taylor Swift make a surprise appearance on stage with Kendrick Lamar?
This speculation is not without basis. After all, the two artists have collaborated together in the past on the hit Bad Blood, and the idea of a reunion on the Super Bowl stage sounds appealing. However, according to sources close to Taylor Swift, that will not happen, the singer has no plans to make a surprise appearance at Kendrick Lamar’s performance, despite the expectations from fans.
Kendrick Lamar has been confirmed as the headliner for this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show.
During a press conference before the Super Bowl on February 3, 2025, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shared his thoughts on the possibility of Taylor Swift performing on the halftime stage: “As long as Travis Kelce is playing and we’re in the Super Bowl, it’s unlikely she’ll be doing the halftime show,” Mahomes told reporters. “Hopefully Travis Kelce is playing and we’re in the Super Bowl.”
This statement suggests that Taylor Swift may still prioritize cheering on her boyfriend over performing an iconic performance like the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
During an interview on Australia’s “Today Show” on February 6, 2024, Ed Kelce – Travis Kelce’s father was also asked about the possibility of Taylor Swift appearing on the halftime show. His answer was quite straightforward: “I don’t know”.
“I haven’t spoken to Taylor this week. I don’t know what she’s planning. I’ll let her publicist talk to you about that”. This statement further aroused the curiosity of fans, although there was no certainty about Taylor Swift’s appearance.
Despite being one of the most influential artists in the world with a career spanning decades, Taylor Swift has never taken the stage at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. This may come as a surprise to many, especially since so many other pop stars, from Beyoncé to Rihanna to The Weeknd, have taken on the role.
One reason could be her busy schedule. Additionally, Taylor Swift may prefer to spend her time touring rather than performing at a major event like the Super Bowl. Still, if she ever decides to take part, it will certainly be a historic performance.
The Super Bowl Halftime Show is one of the most prestigious stages in the world, and any singer would love to appear on it.
While Taylor Swift will be at Super Bowl LIX to cheer on Travis Kelce, fans shouldn’t expect a surprise performance from the singer. Instead, she’ll likely continue to enjoy the game from the stands, becoming one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ biggest fans.
