'This is nothing to do with Travis': Taylor Swift shares why she has shrugged off the idea of performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show

Taylor Swift won't play the Super Bowl Halftime Show because of her relationship with Travis Kelce.

The 35-year-old pop star has rubbished the idea she has snubbed performing at the annual sports extravaganza because of "performance footage" issues, and explained it's instead down to her fiance being an NFL player for the Kansas City Chiefs.

She told The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon: "Here's the thing. Jay Z has always been very good to me. Our teams are very close.

"They sometimes will call and say 'how does she feel about...' and that's not an official offer or a conference room conversation.

"We're always able to tell him the truth, which is that I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field."

Jay- Z's Roc Nation company has produced the Super Bowl Halftime Show since 2020.

The Fate of Ophelia hitmaker also made sure to clarify that the decision was her own, and Travis would support her if she wanted to play the Super Bowl.

She added: "This is nothing to do with Travis, he would love for me to do it. I'm just too locked in."

Earlier this year, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell insisted he would "welcome" Taylor performing at the Super Bowl.

He told the Today show: "We would always love to have Taylor play. She is a special, special talent. And obviously she would be welcome at any time."
