NFL Chief Roger Goodell on Speculation Taylor Swift Could Be This Year’s Super Bowl Halftime Performer: “She Would Be Welcome at Any Time”

Could Taylor Swift be this year’s Super Bowl halftime performer?

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stopped by NBC’s Today show on Wednesday morning, where he addressed the rumors swirling that Taylor Swift could nab that coveted spot — and it seems like he’s not ruling it out.

Today host Savannah Guthrie asked him about the possibility, to which Goodell replied: “We would always love to have Taylor play. She is a special, special talent and obviously she would be welcome at any time.”

Guthrie also asked: “Is it in the works?,” and if it’s a “maybe?”

“I can’t tell you anything about it… It’s a maybe,” Goodell said.

Asked when the announcement of who this year’s performer would be made, Goodell said: “I’m waiting on my friend Jay-Z. It’s in his hands. I’m waiting for the smoke to come out.” Goodell is referring to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, which produces the Super Bowl halftime show.
