For sports fans, the annual Super Bowl <\/a>may mark the final game of the NFL season, but for the rest of us, the event is one of the most highly anticipated in the cultural calendar.<\/p>\n

Sure, watching a bunch of sweaty men running around on a field is great, but we all know it\u2019s the coveted Halftime performances <\/a>that really draw 123 million eyeballs globally.<\/p>\n

From Rihanna\u2019s iconic sky-high pregnancy announcement and Kendrick Lamar throwing shade at Drake to Janet Jackson\u2019s wardrobe malfunction <\/a>and Gaga falling out of the sky, the halftime shows are renowned for creating some of the most memorable and meme-able moments of the game.<\/p>\n

For this reason, the decision about who will step into the stadium for the following year\u2019s performance sparks considerable speculation.<\/p>\n

And as 2026 creeps closer, the internet is awash with rumours and theories. So without further ado, here as the most speculated stars rumored to performed at next years half time show.<\/p>\n

Who Is Performing The 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Adele<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nDespite Adele\u2019s previous comments in 2016 that she had turned down the Super Bowl because \u201cthat show is not about music \u2026 I don\u2019t dance or anything like that\u201d, it seems the British Singer might have had a change of heart. <\/p>\n

Multiple media outlets have claimed that Adele and her team are in talks to headline the 2026 halftime show. <\/p>\n

Adele might have her doubts about delivering a spectacle to a live audience of over 100,000, but we\u2019re confident her powerful vocals could command any crowd.\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nSwifts connection to NFL circles (including through her partner Travis Kelce) might make her an obvious condentor for next years show, but fans have other theories.<\/p>\n

Long before her headline-making romance with Travis, Taylor had a history of teaming up with the NFL to drop surprises. Her track \u201c\u2026Ready For It?\u201d debuted during a college football game teaser in 2017, and in 2022 she used a Saints vs. Cardinals matchup to unveil a Midnights<\/em> teaser.<\/p>\n

Speculation hit overdrive, though, when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell fanned the flames during a September 3 appearance on The Today Show<\/em>. Calling Swift a \u201cspecial, special talent,\u201d he said she\u2019d be welcome \u201cat any time\u201d \u2014 and even hinted she might \u201cmaybe\u201d headline the halftime show.\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Miley Cyrus<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nOn September 17, <\/strong> a fan post by @transleytanked went viral claiming that \u201cApple Music seems to be teasing that Miley Cyrus will headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the post was later ruled as speculation rather than a credible leak, the internet is still confident Cyrus has what it takes. <\/p>\n

With nearly twenty years of hits behind her, she\u2019s enjoying a career peak: her global smash \u201cFlowers\u201d<\/em> finally earned her a long-overdue Grammy and a recently released a deluxe edition of her ambitious pop-opera album Something Beautiful<\/em>.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also no stranger to the NFL stage. During her Plastic Hearts<\/em> era, Miley headlined TikTok\u2019s Tailgate pre-show for essential workers at the 2021 Super Bowl in Tampa, performing alongside Joan Jett and Billy Idol.\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Jay-Z<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nA surprising wild card in the mix is Jay-Z. While he\u2019s stepped back from the stage in recent years, his influence looms large behind the scenes as the head of Roc Nation, the NFL\u2019s official halftime show partner.<\/p>\n

Perhaps a Bey and Jay duo could be on the cards?\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Chappell Roan<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nAcross several of the major betting sites pop queen Chappell Road is tying with Miley Cyrus as possible Half Time performers. <\/p>\n

Fresh off winning the Best New Artist Grammy, Roan offers a bold aesthetic, a devoted fanbase, and the potential to deliver a visually striking performance that goes beyond just music. <\/p>\n

While there\u2019s no confirmation she\u2019s in talks, the chatter reflects her rapid ascent \u2014 and the sense that she\u2019s ready for a stage as big as the Super Bowl.\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\nIn an interview with Howard Stern on August 6, 2025 the interviewer asked Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich<\/strong> about his interest in headlining the Super Bowl halftime show.<\/p>\n

Ulrich replied, \u201cfuck yeah, of course we would,\u201d and pointing out that doing the show in San Francisco \u2014 their adopted home base \u2014 \u201cwould be a dream come true.\u201d <\/p>\n

Adding momentum to the rumour, Usher<\/strong>, a recent Super Bowl halftime performer, publicly voiced that he hopes Metallica takes the slot in 2026.\n<\/div>\n
