Taylor Swift shuts down Super Bowl halftime show rumors

(Fox News) – Taylor Swift is putting the Super Bowl halftime show rumors to rest.
During a candid interview with Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show,” the pop superstar directly addressed reports she declined the NFL’s biggest stage because they wouldn’t let her own her performance footage, telling Fallon simply, “No.”
“Here’s the thing,” she began. “Jay-Z has always been very good to me. Our teams are very close. They sometimes will call and ask how I feel about it — 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.”
As she referred to her now-fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Swift described how intense it can be to watch him on the field.
That is violent chess. That is gladiators without swords. That is dangerous. The whole season I am locked in on what that man is doing on the field. Can you imagine if he’s out there every single week putting his life on the line, doing this very dangerous, very high-pressure, high-intensity sport, and I’m like, ‘I wonder what my choreo should be. I think we should do two verses of ‘Shake It Off’ into ‘Blank Space’ into ‘Cruel Summer’ would be great.'”
Swift was quick to clarify that her decision wasn’t a dig at Kelce or any kind of relationship drama. “This has nothing to do with Travis — he would love for me to do it. I’m just too locked in.”
