Taylor Swift Is Not Headlining Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show

TMZ Graphic

Hours after fans hypothesized that Taylor Swift could be the Super Bowl LVII halftime-show act, TMZ and People “have learned” from sources close to the situation that she will not be performing at the game.

Furthermore, TMZ reported Friday evening that a source told them Swift was asked to take the gig, but told the league she didn’t want to until she completed rerecording her first six albums.

In 2019, her former label, Big Machine Records and industry manager Scooter Braun (Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande), bought the rights to the master recording on all six of her first albums.

Swift claimed she didn’t know the sale was happening, let alone to Braun, and said she was “sad and grossed out” by it all.

Braun ended up reselling the masters but not before Swift vowed to rerecord each album to regain ownership.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to play the show — in fact, she does, reports The NY Post citing a  source — but it’s a matter of timing.
