Taylor Swift is set to attend Super Bowl LIX to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce as the Kansas City Chiefs square off against the Philadelphia Eagles. At the same time, Kendrick Lamar is confirmed to perform at the 2025 halftime show, leading fans to speculate if she may join him on stage due to their "Bad Blood" collaboration.
Will Taylor Swift Perform at the 2025 Super Bowl?
Taylor and Kendrick initially partnered on the 2015 remix of her hit "Bad Blood," and they reunited to re-record it for her October 2023 album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version).
Although they share a song, those close to Taylor believe it's unlikely she will make an unexpected appearance during Kendrick’s performance.
During a Super Bowl press conference on February 3, 2025, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes mentioned that it would be challenging for Taylor to both watch the game and perform.
"As long as Trav is playing and we are in the Super Bowl, it’s going to be tough for her to do the halftime show," he commented to the press. "Hopefully Trav keeps playing and we keep making it to the Super Bowl."
Also, Travis’ father, Ed Kelce, shared his thoughts on Taylor possibly performing during the halftime show.
"I have no idea," Ed responded when questioned about Taylor possibly performing during the February 6, 2024, episode of Australia’s Today Show. "I haven’t talked to Taylor this week. I have no clue what her plans are. I would let her publicist discuss that."
Taylor Swift Confirmed to Attend the 2025 Super Bowl
Fans will not be surprised to know that Taylor will be present at the 2025 Super Bowl on February 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
"I believe everyone is coming," Travis’ older brother, Jason Kelce, told People in an interview published on February 4, 2025, about the championship game.
I can't speak for everyone, but I think it's clear that our entire family feels the same way. Clearly, Trav and Taylor, along with their families and friends, share this sentiment. Trav is someone who always travels with a full group.
Jason pointed out that Travis consistently has a robust support system during the football season, with numerous friends and family members gathering in a suite to watch his games. "Even when he's in regular season mode... he always has a group of his friends with him. This has been the norm throughout his entire career," remarked the former Eagles player. "He's maintained much better connections with a lot of people from our hometown. So, there's always a significant group of Kelce supporters, no matter where we are."
