So..let's go with the rumors over the weekend and then give you the real details. Why..because it's fun!!!!!!
Gear up Swifties -- Taylor Swift could be this season's Super Bowl halftime show act ... at least, that's what the musician's fans are thinking after the NFL appeared to drop a big clue into it all on Thursday night.
Here's the deal -- back in May, Pepsi pulled out of its longstanding partnership with the league and its Big Game's halftime show ... and on Thursday night, the NFL announced it's finally replaced the soft drink company with Apple Music as the new sponsor.
The league curiously dropped the news at midnight -- something that's been associated with Swift for YEARS. She's put out albums twice since 2020 that were released at that time, and she's sung the word "midnight" hundreds of times in her tracks.
Swift is also set to release a new album next month ... titled "Midnights."
Also, Swift has a sponsorship deal with Coca-Cola, and with Pepsi out as the main sponsor she could do it.
The Super Bowl is February 12th.
But. she turned down the offer this year to keep re-recording her music
So
...Rihanna has been drafted to headline the Super Bowl LVII halftime show, the NFL has confirmed. The pop star took to Instagram on Sunday to share a photo her tattooed hand holding up an NFL-branded football. The post also marks Rihanna's first social media activity since giving birth to her first child in May.
So.....does this mean a new album????
