New Super Bowl Halftime Performer Odds Are Out, and Taylor Swift Is Just the Third Favorite
Some big-name stars are being talked about as possible performers for next year’s Super Bowl halftime show, with Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and Drake all on the list.
Last Sunday, Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny made history as the first artist to perform the entire halftime show in Spanish. His unforgettable 13-minute set in Santa Clara included hits like “Nuevayol” and “Baile Inolvidable” and featured special guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
So, who might perform at Super Bowl 61, which will be at SoFi Stadium on February 14, 2027?
A website called Covers checked out the odds, with American singer Miley Cyrus leading with +310 odds. She’s been linked to the halftime show for a while and will appear on Lil Wayne’s upcoming album, Tha Carter VI. Covers notes that Lil Wayne would be a perfect guest to join her.
Cardi B is the second favorite at +440 odds, helped by her appearances cheering on her boyfriend Stefon Diggs at Patriots games. Taylor Swift is third at +490. Since the Super Bowl will be on Valentine’s Day, Covers says a singer known for love songs like Taylor would be a great fit.
Other stars on the list include Lil Wayne (+520), A$AP Rocky (+610), Justin Bieber (+790), J. Cole (+880), Drake (+880), Ariana Grande (+920), and Harry Styles (+1040).
Even though Miley Cyrus is the bookies’ favorite, many think Taylor Swift might take the stage in California next year. Justin Bieber is seen as more of a longshot.
Betting expert Trevor Knapp says, “It’s hard to look past Taylor Swift. Her big Eras Tour ended over two years ago, her wedding to Travis Kelce is this summer, and if Kelce retires, it clears the way for her halftime show.”
He adds, “As a longshot, I’d pick Justin Bieber since he recently performed at the Grammys for the first time in four years.”
