NFL 2023-24. Now without Dan Snyder!

I wouldn't if I were her. She can already charge $Texas for as many shows as she can sing, so she doesn't need the publicity. I don't know what the Superbowl pays for a 15-minute concert, but it surely is a fraction of what she'd get for selling out that same stadium herself. (i.e. her opportunity cost is enormous and there's no upside)
 
I thought there was some belief that the NFL switching from Pepsi to Apple for their halftime show was party a plot to get here, since she had deals with Coke (and thus wouldn't do Pepsi) and had some deals with Apple, so she would be a shoe-in for it at some point. IIRC last year she was still busy recording?

I'll add my opinion that I don't think she would, either. It's not that common to have currently relevant acts do the halftime. It happens, but I don't recall the top of the top ever doing it.

Besides already being on tour, there's additional time to do a unique show like the SB, so how that would fit in would be tough. And if it were me, the half time show needs her more than she needs it, so she *should* be asking for a literal mint for her and ALL of the performers on the field to do it. I doubt they could sell enough ads to pay for it just for halftime.

The Super Bowl actually pays negative dollars now. They stopped giving a fee like ten years ago and the artists have to pay for the show’s production. But the bump in exposure everyone has received after the SB seems to make it worth it.

I would’ve loved to see what ticket prices would’ve been had she accepted. Based on what they’re going for for her tour, I’m sure there are thousands of people that would spend at least a thousand just to say they got to see her Super Bowl performance in person. It could be the worst match-up possible and would probably still see record ticket prices.

She definitely doesn't need it, and I wouldn't expect her to upset an existing tour schedule for it, but it would definitely have a good chance of setting some viewership records. This is not a review of her music either positive or negative, but she gets a LOT of publicity, every time her tour comes to a town it seems to be all that is ever talked about for a week. Even with the SB being the SB, this would definitely up the already-insane amount of talk the SB gets. Think of how Michael Jackson changed the whole scene with his show; does she care enough about non-money stuff like that to feel it worth her time?
 
Like I said if she wasn't on tour and/or had a heavy schedule to work around I think she'd do it. Agree to disagree.
 
I don't think it's worth the risk to her brand.

Look at how nit-picked the Halftime show gets. Every one of them is classified as "garbage" by a significant portion of the population. As it stands, she owns the hottest ticket on the planet. There is nothing for her to gain. She can only get bumped down a notch.
 
Apparently she’s said in the past she won’t do the SB until she’s re-recorded all her music so that the old labels can’t make money off it. I think she still has 2-3 albums to remake so maybe in a few years.

She’s released three of the six with another coming in October so she has two more to go.

This is what I was thinking. At her shows she can control everything. At the SB she is at the mercy of a bunch of senile owners whose idea of a good concert is Skynard with a lynching afterwards as dessert.

What does Taylor Swift do that the NFL would want to control? Three of the last four years they had Shakira and J-Lo, West Coast rappers, and a pregnant Rihanna suspended over the field. I can think of exactly one song they might have an issue with given today’s climate, and even then the NFL
would be trying to stop what would undoubtedly be their biggest show ever now that the money has exploded since MJ.

Their biggest risk might seriously be too many empty seats from Swifties leaving at halftime.

No, what I mean is The National Football League coordinates the SB set -- design, light, electronics, stage (probably not sound, no artist would give that up no matter how much of a has been they are). And they are the level of Disney or the networks. They are giving Middle America the entertainment level expected of Broadway or Branson -- dullwitted, simple, easy.

Swift's people are f-cking mad geniuses, because at that level they do not care about anything but pure balls and dramatic value. Everything everybody learns in the Andrew Lloyd Weber school of safe, sane entertainment is aggressively ignored. This is why those shows are either spectacular or utter disasters, but never easily accessible.

There is no point for someone as talented and successful as Swift to go back to Middle School so her work can be consumed by the Great Unwashed. She is lightyears beyond the flyovers.

Sam Darnold wins QB2 job, putting Trey Lance's time in SF into question. I'd feel sorry for the kid, but he made $30 million+ and he hasn't thrown more than 400 passes since High School.
