Taylor Swift is teasing a potential Super Bowl halftime performance in 2026, sparking excitement among fans. The hints came during her recent appearance on the New Heights podcast alongside boyfriend Travis Kelce, where she dropped subtle clues about the NFL event.
On the episode, Swift talked about her newfound obsession with sourdough, saying, “The sourdough’s taken over my life in a huge way. I’m literally talking about bread 60 percent of the time now.” Fans quickly connected the reference to Sourdough Sam, the mascot of the San Francisco 49ers, interpreting it as a nod to a possible halftime show.
The upcoming Super Bowl is particularly significant for Kelce, who will play his 13th game—matching Swift’s lucky number. After considering retirement following a recent loss, the Kansas City Chiefs star decided to return for another championship run.
Alongside the speculation about the halftime show, Swift revealed her new album, Life of a Showgirl, set to release on October 3. She discussed the album and its sparkling, bedazzled cover on the podcast, saying, “This represents the end of my night… My show days are the same every single day; I just have a different city. And my day ends with me in a bathtub—not usually in a bedazzled dress.” Kelce chimed in, commenting on the album’s glamour: “Literally living the life of a showgirl.”
Fans can preorder Life of a Showgirl from Taylor Swift’s official website while eagerly awaiting further confirmation of her Super Bowl performance.
