Taylor Swift may not perform in 2023
Meanwhile, TMZ recently reported that Taylor Swift may not perform in next year’s Super Bowl, as she has yet to finish recording her first 6 albums. Earlier, Scooter Braun acquired all the rights to Swift’s first 6 albums and sold them, which made her really angry as she publically criticized him.

Since then, Swift has been trying to re-record her first 6 albums. So, Swift reportedly turned down the offer to perform at the Super Bowl because of the timing issue. However, we could see her perform at the 2024 Super Bowl, as she will most likely finish her recording before that.
Currently, the NFL is still looking for a powerhouse performer like Swift but is unable to find anyone. Notably, last year we had some of the top performers, including Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and others during the halftime show and many fans loved their performance.
