The NFL and Apple Music announced during the Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles Monday Night Football game that JAŸ-Z will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027. The twenty-five-time Grammy Award-winner's performance marks another milestone in his career, which includes founding Roc Nation, the company that has partnered with the NFL since 2019 to help select and produce Super Bowl halftime shows. Roc Nation will also serve as executive producer of the 2027 show.
The NFL's press release hinted at the possibility of Beyoncé appearing as a special guest, which would mark her return to the Super Bowl halftime stage for the first time since 2016, when she performed alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars. Beyoncé also headlined the halftime show in 2013.
The announcement also mentions several celebrities who joined JAŸ-Z during his recent tour, including Blue Ivy Carter, John Legend, DJ Khaled, Too $hort, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg, making them potential candidates for guest appearances at the halftime show as well.
In the announcement teaser, JAŸ-Z appeared surrounded by goats, alongside the tagline "Goat's out of the bag." The video also features Apple Music's recently-revamped branding. Earlier this year, the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show featuring Bad Bunny made history by winning seven Emmy Awards, more than any previous halftime show, despite the controversy surrounding his selection as the headliner.
