Is Taylor Swift performing at the Super Bowl 2024?
Swiftie Bowl 2024 has arrived.
The Super Bowl 2024 is already going down in history as the Swiftie Bowl and there's nothing any of us can do about it.
Given the level of excitement for Taylor Swift's attendance at the Greatest Show on Turf, you'd be forgiven for thinking she was playing, for both teams, officiating, performing the halftime show and serving overpriced drinks at the bars around Allegiant Stadium.
We know Swift will wrap up her tour of Japan in Tokyo on 10th February before a long-haul dash to Las Vegas in time for kick-off on 11th February – but what else do we know about her involvement?

Is Taylor Swift performing at the Super Bowl?
No. Taylor Swift is not scheduled to perform at the Super Bowl on Sunday night – although that doesn't necessarily mean she won't, according to an NFL insider.
A recent Forbes interview with Jim Steeg, a legendary former NFL executive who is credited with the development of the Super Bowl into the behemoth it is today, has shed more light on Swift's presence at the Super Bowl.
He convinced Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and Paul McCartney – among others – to take up the illustrious slot without payment (artists to this day perform the show without a fee) but Swift will not be making a shock appearance, with Usher the headline act for the halftime show.
Steeg told Forbes: "She's not going to do anything beyond watch the game. Trust me. It involves months of planning and rehearsals and that sort of stuff, and given her fame, she doesn't need to do it."
However, he did drop a crumb of hope for Swifties: "Now I'll give you this one. If Kansas City wins the Super Bowl, there's a distinct possibility she'll sing a song or two at the victory party in Las Vegas.
"You may not see it, because the Chiefs have done such a great job – the players, the coaches and everybody – of having events where she has been present and not having any pictures of her taken."
If Taylor Swift sings at a victory party and there are no videos to prove it, did she make a sound?
