The Super Bowl halftime show is arguably one of the biggest performing events a musical artist can appear at, and with so many top names appearing during the NFL's largest spectacle over the years the league's commissioner just gave a strong indication that the biggest pop star in the world could be in line to perform in the near future.

The NFL has been riding the wave of success for many years as America's most-popular sport, and more recently, the league has seen a new group of fans getting involved based on their love for Taylor Swift after her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce became public.

When appearing on The Today Show this week ahead of the 2025 NFL season, Goodell was asked point-blank about the prospects of Swift appearing as a halftime show guest and his answer was very telling.

Goodell left the door firmly open after saying "maybe" and when pressed on it a little bit harder by the show's hosts he never came out to deny the possibility of it happening.

Especially now that Swift and Kelce are engaged, it's only conceivable that she will get more involved in NFL content and appear on screen more often during Chiefs games.
