The Super Bowl 60 halftime show belonged to Bad Bunny, who delivered an electrifying performance fresh off his historic Grammy win for Album of the Year. While his selection sparked debate, the global superstar ultimately justified the NFL’s decision with a bold, memorable performance.
With Super Bowl 60 now in the rearview, attention turns to next year and the question already buzzing around the league and music world alike: who will headline the Super Bowl 61 halftime show in Los Angeles?
Early Favorites to Headline Super Bowl 61 Halftime Show
Super Bowl 61 is scheduled for Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, with the Seattle Seahawks emerging as early favorites to defend their championship.
While the matchup itself will dominate headlines as the season approaches, speculation is already heating up around who will headline the halftime show on one of the NFL’s biggest stages.
Several A-list performers are currently in the mix, with FanDuel listing the following odds:
- Miley Cyrus, +310
- Cardi B, +440
- Taylor Swift, +490
- Lil Wayne, +520
- A$AP Rocky, +610
- Justin Bieber, +790
- J. Cole, +880
- Drake, +880
- Ariana Grande, +920
- Harry Styles, +1040
Among the group, Cardi B is the only artist with prior halftime-show experience, having made a cameo during Super Bowl 60. Many fans expected her to perform “I Like It,” her hit collaboration with Bad Bunny and J Balvin, but she ultimately never took the mic.
The 33-year-old rapper, who is dating Patriots WR Stefon Diggs, has previously revealed that she turned down a full halftime opportunity.
“I got asked to do the Super Bowl and I denied it,” Cardi told Billboard in an interview published in September 2025. “I feel like soon, if I get to do it, I’m going to have more hits. I’m going to be more experienced, and I’m going to eat that up.”
Cardi has been a regular presence at Patriots games this season, and 2027 could present a natural opportunity for a crossover moment. Her global appeal, combined with the conclusion of her Little Miss Drama tour in April, could make her a strong contender.
Cyrus currently leads the odds, having been linked to the halftime show for several years. Her genre-spanning catalog, from country-folk roots to rock influences and modern pop hits, offers broad appeal. With Cyrus also featured on Lil Wayne’s upcoming album Tha Carter VI, the two could form a natural pairing on the Super Bowl stage.
Swift, meanwhile, can never be ruled out. With Super Bowl 61 falling on Valentine’s Day and the world’s biggest pop star known for her romantic catalog, the timing would be fitting. Additionally, with fiancé Travis Kelce’s retirement potentially imminent, any perceived conflicts of interest could be eliminated, making a Swift-led halftime show more feasible than ever.
