(To wrestle with just one: This’ll be the first time in years that Pepsi won’t be sponsoring the show, having ceded that territory to Apple; Swift, of course, did a couple of Coca-Cola commercials like 8 years ago, so…) (Okay, one more: The NFL made the announcement about the change of sponsorship at midnight, and Swift is currently revving up for the release of her 10th studio album, Midnights, so…) (It turns out you can spin almost anything into a credible rumor if you end it with so…, so…).

Today, though, TMZ cites “Sources with direct knowledge of the Super Bowl halftime show” that state that Swift was offered the gig, but turned it down.

Specifically, it’s being said that Swift—who’s only performed live a handful of times since her Lover tour got shut down by COVID in 2019—doesn’t want to do the show until she’s finished her project of re-recording (Taylor’s Version) of all six of her albums that were recorded with Big Machine Records.
