What an absolute clown!

If we see Taylor Swift at Super Bowl LX, it won't be onstage. She'll be in a suite, drink in hand, like she usually is.
According to multiple reports, the world’s biggest pop star has walked away from an offer to headline the NFL’s biggest game after negotiations with the league broke down. She had some requests, and the NFL reportedly refused to budge.
"She wasn’t asking for favors, she was asking for respect," one anonymous music executive told British pop culture journalist Rob Shuter, who first broke the story on his "Naughty But Nice" Substack.
"Taylor knows her worth. She knows the kind of ratings she brings, the global attention she commands. She wasn’t about to hand that over for free."
One major sticking point was reportedly Swift’s desire to retain ownership of the halftime show performance. Not a surprise, given her past public battles over music rights. She also reportedly wanted slots during the show to promote her own projects.
The NFL, however, "flatly refused," according to insiders.
The league famously doesn’t pay halftime performers, instead offering "exposure" to the 100 million-plus viewers who tune in.
In Taylor's defense, that's a laughable trade-off when you're dealing with the most famous woman on the planet. Especially since Swift has made the NFL a ton of money. Estimates put the pop star’s impact at about $1 billion in equivalent brand value for the league over the past two years.
In case you live under a very large rock, Taylor is engaged to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has attended the past two Super Bowls and is a regular fixture at Chiefs games.

This is Bad Bunny.
He was just announced as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show.
- Massive Trump hater
- Anti-ICE activist
- No songs in English
He even canceled his entire U.S. tour for this reason: “F***ing ICE could be outside my concert. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”
The NFL is self-destructing year after year.

Can you say makegoods, boys and girls?
I knew you could!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most famous woman on the planet?? lol
That is a killer tune, btw.

Ok. Is it chanted while hopping around a fire and holding a spear?
I can’t wait to miss this years “clothing malfunction” again, where the exhibitionist word shouter exposes himself.
Welp. Looks like the Puppy Bowl again this year.
Welp. Looks like the Puppy Bowl again this year.
She is an attractive woman who could be (is) a model. She writes and performs popular music that is enjoyed by many millions world wide, is worth a crap ton of $$ and she is engaged to a very well known and popular athlete on a top NFL team.
Regardless, I get where you are coming from. I have no interest in her either, and find the goat parody of her song “trouble” more entertaining than nearly anything she has done.
All that being said, she is absolutely right to tell the NFL to pound sand. They want her to perform for free and according to the article, refused to even allow any compensation through use of air time. She would have to be an idiot to accept that obvious disrespect and she’s not an idiot.
No matter ... her or Bad Bunny ... it’s all irrelevant to me. I can’t wait to not watch the halftime again this year!
What an absolute clown!
I will be watching the Superbowl if the Seahawks make it.
Me, I stopped caring about the national felon league after Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson.
Don’t hold your breath.
Oh…and make the rap Spanish!
“she was asking for respect”
Last I heard, respect is something you earn, not something you negotiate in an NFL business office.
Put some clothes on, tone down the whining, and write a couple descent songs for a change, you might be respected.
**It wasn’t until 1993 when Michael Jackson performed that the modern idea of a halftime show started.**
I’m old enough to remember Up With People. 49ers/Bengals 1982.
Turns out Ta ta’s a capitalist…who knew🤣
All this winning... AND TAYLOR SWIFT sucking eggs too??!?
It’s almost sensory overload! ALMOST. Not tired yet!
>> Now that we know what she is....let’s talk price...lol
Okay! Let’s:
SHE would have to pay ME. :-)
