The engagement between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, announced on August 26, 2025, generated a wave of speculation among fans: many took advantage of the confluence between pop music and American soccer to further fuel rumors that Swift could be in charge of the halftime show of Super Bowl LX, which will take place on February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Attentive followers point to a number of clues planted by Swift during her appearance on the New Heights podcast, hosted by Travis and his brother Jason Kelce. Among them, mentions of her obsession with sourdough bread – a nod to the 49ers since their mascot is Sourdough Sam – and the way she claimed to think about bread “60% of the time,” which is interpreted as an allusion to Super Bowl LX (60).
He also noted the number 47, linked to his 47th stop on The Eras Tour at the same stadium.
From Forbes they highlight how these details, along with the recent recovery of the rights to her first six albums, put Taylor in an ideal position to take on such an iconic role.
Taylor Swift in her prime
Data from platforms such as Kalshi show that 61% of users believe Taylor will be the star of the halftime show, well ahead of other names such as Post Malone or Metallica.
In addition, sites such as Bleacher Report consider her to be the overwhelming favorite for the event.
However, there are other artists on the list of possible headliners.
The industry is considering proposals such as Miley Cyrus, Jay-Z, Oasis, Dua Lipa, or even Metallica, especially considering their connections to the San Francisco Bay Area.
For the U.S. Hispanic community, where Taylor Swift’s influence is vast and transcends music, her potential performance at Super Bowl LX represents a powerful cultural tie-in.
It would be a symbolic triumph: the presence of a stellar Latina in one of the most watched shows in the world, strengthened by the link with a great symbol of American sports, Travis Kelce.
