Taylor Swift Clarifies Online Rumors About Herself: Super Bowl...

Taylor Swift said concern for fiancé Travis Kelce’s safety during NFL games led her to decline the Super Bowl Halftime show, with no formal offer made, she explained.

  • On Monday, Oct. 6, Taylor Swift appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to debunk rumors about the Super Bowl while promoting The Life of a Showgirl.
  • Swift said she never received an 'official offer' from Jay-Z's Roc Nation, describing conversations as informal inquiries, not formal offers, Fallon reported.
  • She said her primary reason was focusing on fiancé Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, noting `This is nothing to do with Travis` and describing football as `That is violent chess`.
  • Bad Bunny will headline Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8, 2026, and organizers confirmed Swift will not be the next Halftime headliner.
  • Earlier this year, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he would welcome Swift performing, and she continues promoting The Life of a Showgirl after its Friday, Oct. 3 release.
