The NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, sat down for a conversation with NBC’s Today show, where he described the singer as a “special, special talent.” He went on to state that Swift would always be welcome in the NFL.

When asked about the Love Story crooner’s appearance at the Super Bowl Halftime event, the authoritative person said, “It’s a maybe.” Further deflating the questions, Roger went on to joke that the rest of the decisions are on Jay-Z and Roc Nation, who have been producing the event in recent years.

Goodell explained, “I’m waiting on my friend Jay-Z. It’s in his hands. I’m waiting for the smoke to come out.”

Meanwhile, if Swift heads to the stage for a Super Bowl Halftime performance, it will be special for the fans and Travis Kelce in multiple ways. Kelce will be playing his 13th game of the championship, which coincides with the musician’s lucky number. Additionally, the singer will mark her first performance as a fiancée to the Kansas City Chiefs player. 

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since September 2023, after meeting a couple of months before.
