Why has Taylor Swift never performed at Super Bowl?

Fans have long wondered why Taylor Swift has never performed at the Super Bowl.

Allegedly, Swift has turned down the opportunity over the years due to her "long-term partnership" with Coca-Cola, a rival brand to the Super Bowl Halftime sponsor, Pepsi. In 2022, when Apple Music became the official sponsor, rumors circulated that she was offered the gig.

TMZ confirmed the offer but stated that Swift declined because she was busy working on her album re-records at the time. While the exact reason remains speculative, Swift's busy schedule may be a factor preventing her from taking on a Super Bowl performance.
