Taylor Swift is actually on the high of the world. She’s gained almost each large award we are able to consider, carried out everywhere in the world, and has a legion of diehard followers. And but, she’s NEVER — not as soon as — finished the Super Bowl halftime present! How is that attainable?!
Well, there are literally a ton of the explanation why this hasn’t occurred but!
While the Anti-Hero artist is among the greatest singers lately, when she began, she wasn’t precisely thought of the form of artist who everyone would wish to jam out to — particularly not a ton of sports activities followers. In reality, it wasn’t till her 2012 hit We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together that she actually began to make these sorts of waves, adopted by her mega-successful album 1989, which spawned hits Shake It Off, Blank Space, and Bad Blood in 2014. This would’ve been an AH-mazing 12 months for her to do the large present — besides there was only one large downside!

In 2013, Taylor signed a “long-term” endorsement deal to be the face of Diet Coke — however up till 2022, Pepsi was the large sponsor for the NFL live performance. Obviously, this was a battle of curiosity! But, as Swifties know, the musician additionally didn’t launch any new music from 2014 to 2017, so it wouldn’t have made a lot sense for her to take the stage anyway.
That stated, when Apple Music took over the halftime present, they rapidly tried to faucet her for the function. They even requested her to do the honors eventually 12 months’s Super Bowl LVII, however the Lover artist declined. Why?! At the time, she supposedly stated she couldn’t do it as a result of she was preoccupied with rerecording all her albums. TMZ sources claimed one thing comparable in 2022, saying the 34-year-old didn’t wish to do the present with out proudly owning all her music, and she or he has but to re-release her self-titled album and Reputation. That makes lots of sense, actually!
Besides, whereas the songwriter has confirmed she will do one million issues without delay, it will’ve been laborious for her to place collectively a glitzy efficiency amidst her hectic Eras Tour schedule. Usher, then again, has been doing a Las Vegas residency — making it that a lot simpler to prep! And whereas a halftime present (or perhaps a cameo) would have been unimaginable, no less than we nonetheless acquired plenty of Taylor content material on the recreation! And perhaps someday sooner or later, particularly if her romance with the Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce continues to blossom, she’ll lastly do the honors! Fingers crossed!
