Why did Taylor Swift turn down Super Bowl LVIII halftime show? Singer reportedly aware she has 'all the time in the world'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift has reportedly declined the opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show in Las Vegas because she was too "busy" with her current Eras Tour.
The 33-year-old 'Bejeweled' hitmaker, who will perform at Foro Sol in Mexico this week, has been touring the US since March.
However, she reportedly was "in no rush" to perform at Super Bowl. A performance at the NFL event typically was between 12 and 15 minutes.
Swift believed that performing at the event would not be a "defining moment for her right now," and she was very focused on other projects, as per reports.

Sources claimed, "Taylor is busy with her current tour, she has zero time to prepare a Super Bowl show, she will do it eventually, but she is in no rush at all to do it in Vegas or do it in the next couple of years."
They continued, "She knows she is at her peak in her career and each move from this point on is as important as the next."
"Working on her current tour and recording her old music and working on new music and living life are taking up the majority of her time," they added, per the Daily Mail.
Sources further added, "The Super Bowl will be a nice thing to do someday but it is not a defining moment for her right now."
They further said, "She knows she has all the time in the world, and she always reminds her team that Madonna was 53 when she finally did the show herself, so timing is everything"
"Taylor is well aware of how she wants her career to develop and will do things her way and her way only and will not rush into something she doesn't want to do just to do it and that includes the Super Bowl," sources concluded.
