NFL Boss Fuels Taylor Swift Super Bowl Rumours With 1 Word

Taylor Swift on stage in London last yearNFL commissioner Roger Goodell offered a “maybe” when asked if Taylor Swift would be performing at February’s Super Bowl Halftime Show in Santa Clara, California.“We would always love to have Taylor play,” Goodell said on NBC’s Today on Wednesday. “She is a special, special talent and obviously she would be welcome at any time.”Goodell said he couldn’t say “anything about” whether Taylor was already in negotiations to perform, but when Today co-host Savannah Guthrie asked if it was a maybe, the NFL chief responded: “It’s a maybe.”While Goodell didn’t say when the announcement about this year’s halfime performer would be made, in the past three years, the headliner has been announced sometime in September. Goodell’s tease comes just a week after Taylor announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. Since the two began dating two years ago, Taylor has attended almost all of the Chiefs’ games, including two Super Bowl appearances. According to the NFL, she has helped grow the league’s female audience to 47% of viewers.Taylor hasn’t slowed down since wrapping up her multi-year international Eras Tour. She announced last month in a two-hour interview on Travis’ podcast that her latest album, The Life Of A Showgirl, will come out in October.With a football player fiancé and a new album, many think it only makes sense for her next move to be the Super Bowl.Fans have been speculating that Taylor dropped Easter eggs — something she’s known to do — about performing at the Super Bowl during her interview on New Heights.She spoke at length about baking sourdough bread – a possible nod to Sourdough Sam, the mascot of the San Francisco 49ers, whose stadium is where the game will be held this year. Or, it could have just been Taylor talking about baking — something she’s also been known to be a fan of.During his Today show appearance, Goodell also spoke about ways to make the game safer, like giving players an option to wear helmets with technology designed to result in fewer concussions. According to the NFL, only 30% of players who have access to new helmets designed for their position are doing so.“I think what’s mandatory now is working with our players association and looking at the different helmets and giving them a choice — the players,” Goodell said. “But making sure that we take helmets out that really don’t fit the standard.”Goodell’s comments on football and head injuries come just over a month after a gunman killed four people at a Manhattan office building, allegedly with the intention to target the NFL’s headquarters.The gunman claimed in a note that he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy that was caused by playing contact sports. One NFL employee was seriously injured in the shooting. After the shooting, Goodell didn’t directly address the CTE claim from the shooter. “There are no excuses for those senseless acts,” Goodell said at the time. “They’re hard for all of us to understand when it inflicts pain on people you know and people you care about and people that we deal with on a daily basis. That’s particularly hard.”READ MORE:This Is Why Taylor Swift Fans Are Now Convinced She's Performing At The Super Bowl Next YearTravis Kelce Breaks Silence On Taylor Swift Engagement With Very Sweet UpdatePeople Think Taylor Swift’s Engagement Will Change Her Music In This 1 Way – Here’s Why They’re Wrong
