Ten Artists That Could Headline The Super Bowl Halftime Show In The Near Future

Being the headliner of the Super Bowl Halftime Show is one of the biggest honors in all of music. Here are ten acts that could soon headline the biggest night in American television.

The Super Bowl, and the Super Bowl Halftime Show, are right around the corner. In just a few days, Kendrick Lamar will take to the stage to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

These ten acts could find their way to America’s biggest stage in the next few years

Sabrina Carpenter

The former Disney Channel star broke out in a big way in 2024. She dominated the charts with hits like “Please Please Please”, “Juno”, and “Espresso”. Carpenter has the stage presence, the vocal chops, and the curb appeal, so to speak, to headline the Super Bowl.

Harry Styles

Let’s face it, the ultra-popular rock band frontman has nearly gone extinct these days. But, while he’s a solo act, the “Watermelon Sugar” singer and former One Direction member is the closest thing to a modern-day Mick Jagger that we have. Harry Styles would be a sensational headliner.

Ariana Grande

Right now, she’s in the middle of the release of two “Wicked” movies, playing the co-main character, Glinda, in the Broadway adaptation. But, few have dominated the charts the last decade like Ariana Grande, and she can really, really sing.

Olivia Rodrigo

She’s a former Disney star, but, like Sabrina Carpenter, she’s shed that image. Unlike Carpenter, Rodrigo’s music gets close to punk music, and her high-energy singles have almost always found their way to the top of the charts. Taylor Swift is the biggest pop star in the world right now, but the “good 4 u” singer is poised to potentially have that mantle in the near future.

Luke Combs

Country acts haven’t headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show in decades. But, Luke Combs has not only the stage presence but also the crossover and mainstream appeal to get the nod. Combs would be an outstanding performer on the biggest stage in music.

Post Malone

Post Malone headlining the Super Bowl Headline Show seems like an inevitability at this point, right? He’s shown the ability to create hits in multiple genres, his music is everywhere, and he’d have a wide catalog of hits to play from.

Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish has made hit after hit since taking the world by storm in 2019 with her debut album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” Recently, she was a surprising snub from winning any Grammy Awards after having the best odds in multiple categories. But, she’s as big of a star as anyone is that isn’t named Taylor Swift and Beyonce. She would be a huge hit as a headliner.

Taylor Swift

Speaking of Taylor Swift, the undisputed Biggest Pop Star in the World is the NFL’s white whale. It’s no secret that the NFL desperately wants her to do a Super Bowl Halftime Show. Swift would attract a global audience unlike any other act could. She probably won’t do it until after her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, retires. But, that’s going to be pretty soon, possibly as soon as next week. She’s won everything there is to win, and done everything there is to do in music before her 35th birthday, except play the Super Bowl Halftime Show. She has to do it soon, right? Right?

Jay-Z & Beyonce

Music’s biggest power couple would be the only act that could rival Taylor Swift in terms of hype. Beyonce was the headliner and was joined by her old girl-groupmates in a Destiny’s Child reunion a decade ago. But, add in husband Jay-Z, one of the most influential figures in hip-hop, and you’ve got a show that people would be talking about for a long, long, time.

Zach Bryan

Zach Bryan took quite the PR hit in the second half of 2024 after his breakup with internet personality Bri Chickenfry. But, Bryan is an absolute megastar. His genre-bending music has produced hit after hit, and he’s known to put on a fantastic live show. It could be his turn in a few years.
