Fans are already debating who should perform at the 2027 Super Bowl halftime show, and Miley Cyrus is facing backlash after emerging as a rumored contender for the big spot.

Miley Cyrus Sparks Super Bowl Halftime Show Rumors
With Super Bowl LXI set to take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on February 14th, 2027, fans are eagerly waiting to find out who will headline the halftime show. Miley is among the names being discussed, alongside other major stars like Harry Styles, Justin Bieber, and JAY-Z, although the NFL has yet to announce an official performer.
The rumors gained traction after an alleged Apple Music teaser featuring the silhouette of a female performer circulated online before being deleted. Some fans speculated that the mystery artist was the Hannah Montana alum, and the singer added fuel to the discussion when she shared black-and-white rehearsal photos on Instagram with the caption, “Bowl rehearsals. See you soon.”
However, the post did not confirm that she’ll certainly perform at the Super Bowl. The singer was preparing for her scheduled shows at the Hollywood Bowl on October 16th and 18th. For now, her potential involvement in the 2027 halftime show remains a rumor.

Fans Aren't Happy About The Possibility Of Miley Cyrus Performing At The Super Bowl
Despite the pop star's decades-long career and history of hit songs, the possibility of her headlining the Super Bowl halftime show has not been met with excitement across the board.
Some social media users have pushed back against the rumors, with much of the backlash centering on her more recent music and claims that her latest albums have failed to make the same impact as her earlier releases. Others have questioned whether she would be the right choice for one of the biggest live music performances of the year.
"Don't get me wrong, I love Miley, but it's very confusing to see her named as one of the top candidates for the Super Bowl," commented a user on Reddit. "She has not been relevant in a very long time. Her last five albums have all flopped massively."
"I agree Miley does those well, but she doesn't have nearly enough relevancy to do a halftime show," responded another. "She's only #40 on Spotify. Artists like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé made a much, much bigger impact with their rock and country hits."
"Miley cannot headline by herself and doesn't have the hits," wrote a critic. "Maybe she, Selena, and Demi can all do it together."
"I seriously think it's such a reach to claim she is a leading choice to headline the show all by herself," echoed another.
