And i also vote for P!nk. 

P!nk would destroy the Superbowl, it's kind of surprising she's not been invited before. She puts on the exact kind of spectacle the halftime show has focused on for the last decade

I agree with the Pink thoughts. She’s completely proven herself to be a long term touring phenomenon, and an incredible and super popular stadium performer. She has a huge catalog of mainstream hits that the GP loves. It’s bizarre that she hasn’t done it yet. It might not be 2026 since she currently has nothing to promote but next time she’s on an album cycle she should def be near the top of the list. For 2026 though I do think Taylor might want to do it, especially if it’s true that she wants this era to be her biggest pop success since 1989

It’s Super Bowl time for Taylor, even though I don’t really follow her that much. She just got back the rights to her old albums, she’s in an album cycle, and this could be the perfect way to announce a tour. Even if I’m not obsessed with her live shows, she has the $$ to make it absolutely spectacular. Plus, a burlesque/showgirl vibe would be something totally new for the SB stage.

 

And the storyline… iconic. Her boyfriend could be playing in the final that night, maybe even a proposal could happen? All the material for songs, especially if they break up later.

 

Honestly, perfect timing for her… not so much for us 🫠

It’s in Santa Clara (SF) so hopefully Metallica. I personally prefer Green Day because they do have plenty of recognizable hits but they for sure would be asked to censor themselves and Billie Joe would say what he wants to anyway which would be badass. 
 

It’ll probably just be Post Malone and he will bring up that Mediocre Wallen guy.

Doesn't Jay z have a lot of influence regarding headliners?  Watch it be doja, megan and cardi. Nicki will crash out so bad.

She didn’t shut up when she did her cameo with Madonna back in the day at her superbowl

Miley. Make it happen.

Well that would be disappointing. She is not big enough, at least not worldwide

Its American football, why does she need to be worldwide big?

And yet Dolly is still snubbed 😡 

[RebeldeFaith 5,530]

Where's Rita Ora? Why are they so scared of her? I'm sure she can lower her standards for a day and perform for the peasants.

Sadly Pink confirmed recently that she doesn't have plans to do the Halftime Show:

I'd love it to be something a bit different. Metallica would be amazing. Plus, in terms of mass appeal and TV viewers BTS are reuniting early next year...just saying

Honestly, I could see Sabrina Carpenter doing it. She's huge at the moment, and she has six hits:

Feather

Espresso

Please Please Please

Taste

Bed Chem

Manchild

Is there a reason Ariana isn't on the list? She seems pretty major as modern pop girls go and has a big trail of hits even sports guys know.
