Next Super Bowl Halftime Performer Odds Emerge With Taylor Swift Only Third Favourite
Justin Bieber, Drake and Harry Styles are among the frontrunners.
A handful of A‑list stars have been priced up as potential performers for next year's Super Bowl halftime show, with Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Drake featuring on a star-studded list.
On Sunday evening, Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, made history by becoming the first Super Bowl halftime show headliner to perform entirely in Spanish.
Bad Bunny's much-talked-about 13-minute cameo in Santa Clara, which included hits like “Nuevayol” and "Baile Inolvidable", also featured Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin as special guest performers.
So, who will take to the stage at Super Bowl LXI, which is scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium on February 14, 2027?

Online publication Covers has taken a look at the Super Bowl 61 halftime show odds, with American singer-songwriter Miles Cyrus featuring in top spot with odds of +310.
Cyrus, who has been linked with the Super Bowl halftime show for a number of years, is set to feature on Lil Wayne’s upcoming album Tha Carter VI. "The legendary rap artist would be an easy choice to join her on stage," Covers add.
Cardi B is currently the second favourite at odds of +440, with her appearances at several Patriots games to cheer on boyfriend Stefon Diggs being mentioned in the report.
In third place is world-renowned pop star Taylor Swift at +490. "Super Bowl LXI is also being played on Valentine’s Day, and with that in mind, an artist known for love songs would fit the mood extremely well," the publication says.
Other high-profile names to feature in the odds list include Lil Wayne (+520), A$AP Rocky (+610), Justin Bieber (790+), J.Cole (+880), Drake (+880), Ariana Grande (+920) and Harry Styles (1040+).
Despite the Tennessee-born Miley Cyrus being placed as the bookies' favourite, Taylor Swift is being tipped to take to the stage in California next year, while Justin Bieber has been considered a so-called "longshot pick".
"I’m having a hard time looking past Taylor Swift," says betting analyst Trevor Knapp.
"February 2027 would mark over two years since her Eras Tour ended, Swift's wedding with Travis Kelce is set to take place this summer, and a potential retirement for Kelce would remove any conflict of interest for a potential halftime performance."
He adds: "As a longshot pick, I’d consider Justin Bieber (+790) after he recently performed at the Grammys for the first time in four years."
