JAY-Z has reportedly chosen the headliner for the 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Show: himself. Since 2019, the rap mogul has been charged with overseeing the Big Game’s musical programming, bringing in stars like The Weeknd, Dr. Dre, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, and Bad Bunny. Now, it appears he’s ready to take center stage himself.
According to a new report from Puck News, JAY-Z also considered Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus before ultimately selecting himself. The performance would mark his first appearance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show and would follow his string of high-profile stadium shows throughout 2026 celebrating the 30th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt and 25th anniversary of The Blueprint.
The NFL nor JAY-Z has yet to officially comment on the report, but JAY-Z is set to play a pair of shows at SoFi stadium this weekend — the very site of Super Bowl LXI — so perhaps an announcement could come then.
