NFL commissioner Roger Goodell offered a “maybe” when asked if Taylor Swift will perform in February’s Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California.
“We would always love to have Taylor play,” Goodell said on NBC’s “Today” on Wednesday. “She is a special, special talent and obviously she would be welcome at any time.”
Goodell said he couldn’t say “anything about” whether Swift was already in negotiations to perform, but when “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie asked if it was a maybe, Goodell said, “it’s a maybe.”
Goodell didn’t say when the announcement would be made, but in the past three years, the Super Bowl headliner has been announced sometime in September.
Goodell’s tease comes just a week after Swift announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Since the two began dating two years ago, Swift has gone to almost all of the Chiefs’ games, including two Super Bowl appearances. According to the NFL, she has helped grow the league’s female audience to 47% of viewers.
