Lady Gaga<\/strong><br \/>\nShe owned halftime back in 2017, so why not do it again? With her recent successful comeback, she seems like a safe bet. The only question is whether the Super Bowl will finally allow a repeat solo headliner.<\/p>\n<p>#09. Mariah Carey<br \/>\nWith her upcoming album Here for It All and decades of hits, Mimi could finally claim the halftime spotlight. Her Video Vanguard performance this September may give a hint of what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#08. Justin Bieber<\/strong><br \/>\nBack after battling health issues, Bieber\u2019s 2025 surprise album, \u201cSwag,\u201d reminded fans why he\u2019s a generational artist. The Super Bowl stage would be a perfect comeback moment!<\/p>\n<p><strong>#07. Drake<\/strong><br \/>\nHis show could mark a recovery after losing the rap battle against Kendrick Lamar. He certainly has the hits and the potential to make a massive halftime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#06. BTS<\/strong><br \/>\nAll seven members are finally back from military service, with a new album dropping in spring 2026. Their reunion tour timing aligns perfectly with the Super Bowl, and ARMYs are already manifesting this stage!<\/p>\n<p><strong>#05. Green Day<\/strong><br \/>\nWith the game in the Bay Area, who better than Berkeley\u2019s own punk heroes? Their recent tours prove they can still pack a punch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#04. Metallica<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother Bay Area pick. Picture Levi\u2019s Stadium shaking to \u201cEnter Sandman\u201d and \u201cMaster of Puppets.\u201d It\u2019d be the loudest halftime show ever!<\/p>\n<p><strong>#03. Post Malone<\/strong><br \/>\nWith hits across pop, hip-hop, and country, Posty has range and bops! His massive music catalog might just be what the Super Bowl stage needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#02. Jay-Z<\/strong><br \/>\nThe mastermind behind Roc Nation\u2019s halftime era could finally take the mic himself, especially with the 30th anniversary of \u201cReasonable Doubt \u201c coming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#01. Taylor Swift<\/strong><br \/>\nThanks to her romance with Travis Kelce and her almost weekly appearances in the stadium stands, she\u2019s already an NFL girl. With a new album dropping in October, \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d, and fan theories about her comeback, a halftime show might seal the deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NFL season hasn\u2019t even kicked off yet, but speculation is already buzzing with BTS and Taylor Swift at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show.
