NFL Potentially Teases Taylor Swift As Super Bowl Halftime Headliner!

Calling all Swifties.. this year may finally be the year that Taylor Swift headlines the NFL Super Bowl halftime show.

The National Football League made an announcement at midnight, hinting that the 32-year-old "Love Story" singer may finally be getting her time to shine at the Super Bowl.

In May, Pepsi backed out of its longstanding partnership with the NFL and its Super Bowl halftime show. Some of the most iconic Pepsi-sponsored Halftime Shows included Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, the Weeknd, and last year's collaboration between Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem.

Last night, the NFL announced its new sponsor for the halftime show -- Apple Music -- in a multi-year deal.

“We are proud to welcome Apple Music to the NFL family as our new partner for the iconic Super Bowl Halftime Show,” said Nana-Yaw Asamoah, SVP of Partner Strategy for the NFL. “We couldn't think of a more appropriate partner for the world's most-watched musical performance than Apple Music, a service that entertains, inspires, and motivates millions of people around the world through the intersection of music and technology.”

“We're looking forward to even more epic performances next year and beyond with the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple's vice president of Apple Music and Beats.

The thing that has everyone talking is the fact that the NFL made this big announcement at a very important time... midnight. Sound familiar?

Taylor Swift is notorious for making announcements at midnight having released two different albums since 2020 at that time. The 32-year-old singer/songwriter has also sung the word "midnight" thousands of times -- approximately 2,000 to be exact -- on various tracks.

But that's not all because Swift is also set to release a new album next month, titled "Midnights."

Although the NFL has not confirmed Taylor Swift to headline the Super Bowl this year, the timing of the announcement has Swift fans ecstatic.

Twitter user David Meunier said, "Make it happen @NFL," with another fan, Clary Castro, showing her excitement with,"OMGGGGGG ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️?♥️."

Another Taylor Swift fan pointed out that not only does the "Shake It Off" singer have multiple hits that could work for the show (including "Bad Blood," "Look What You Made Me Do," "Blank Space," "Don’t Blame Me," "Love Story," "You Belong With Me," and more), but she also has the money. "Actually a Taylor Swift Superbowl performance would be cute because she has the hits AND the budget," the user Tweeted.

And NFL Analyst, Lindsey, chimed in with, "Taylor Swift performing at the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show has a nice ring to it."

Taylor Swift has never performed the Super Bowl halftime show, so this could be her time to shine. The Super Bowl is set to kick off on February 12, 2023.

Her album, "Midnights," is set to release on October 21, 2022.
