Pop Star Taylor Swift is reported to have turned down a request to perform at the Super Bowl LVII for personal reasons, TMZ reports.
According to the report by TMZ, sources with direct knowledge of the Super Bowl halftime show revealed that the pop star Taylor Swift was approached months ago by SB honchos, asking if she will headline. But Taylor was clear she didn’t want to perform until she finished re-recording all of her first 6 albums
As you probably know, back in 2019, Scooter Braun was part of a group that acquired the rights to her first 6 albums. Taylor was pissed, saying she was “sad and grossed out.” Braun has since sold the master recordings and Taylor vowed to rerecord them to, in effect, regain ownership. She’s already rerecorded and released “Red” and “Fearless.”
TMZ also reported that sources stated that Pop Star Taylor Swift would like to headline a Super Bowl halftime show, but now it’s an issue of timing. It’s possible she could finish the remaining 4 albums “Taylor Swift,” “Speak Now,” “1989,” and “Reputation” in the next year. That would open the possibility of a 2024 appearance, but it all depends on finishing the rerecords.
Our Super Bowl sources tell us they’re still looking for a female popstar for the big performance.
