The Swifties had something to look forward to at the Super Bowl, but it wasn’t their favorite Taylor Swift entertaining them on stage.
However, music fans need not worry, as Usher is set to bring the house down as the main act for the annual event.
Taylor Swift Has a Busy Calendar Ahead of the Super Bowl
Rumors began swirling last year about Swift possibly appearing for a halftime music break, especially after her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end became public.
However, Swift will grace the event as a worthy spectator and won’t be doing any freebies to the NFL even though she knows them by proxy. The pop star is also scheduled to perform in Tokyo for four shows in a row ahead of the biggest event in football, which means she’s bound to be tired and jetlagged.
The Japan leg of his Era tour is scheduled for February 10th, leaving him less than 24 hours to appear in time for the Super Bowl, which will be held on Sunday, February 11th.

Digging deeper into how Swift’s alleged show started making the rounds, one can draw a straight line from the rumors to the NFL’s decision to announce a halftime show sponsor at Midnight in November 2022!
The body announced the partnership with Apple Music for the show through a statement released by Nana-Yaw Asamoah, SVP of Partner Strategy for the NFL, who described Apple as “the perfect partner for the world’s most watched music show,” adding that :
“a platform that entertains, inspires and motivates millions of people around the world through the intersection of music and technology.”
The vice president of Apple Music and Beats also praised the move and expressed the service’s readiness to deliver more “epic performances next year and beyond with the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show.”
The Blast notes that Swift has developed a habit of making big announcements and even releasing albums at midnight and has also sung the word “midnight” about 2,000 times on different tracks during that time.
So it’s not impossible for his fans to take the NFL news as a sign of something serious, as he’s gearing up to release his “Midnights” next month.
Well, two years have passed since the big hint; maybe next year is another chance for the Nashville native.
