Nashville officially lands the 2030 Super Bowl: Will country music return to the halftime show?

NFL owners voted today for the 2030 Super Bowl LXIV to be played in Nashville’s new Nissan Stadium, in the first-ever Music City Super Bowl. “Given Nashville’s status as Music City, time will tell what musical offerings the 2030 Super Bowl will highlight,” says Billboard’s Jessica Nicholson. “Nashville, of course, is well known as a central hub for the country music industry, but it is also home to contemporary Christian/gospel, hip-hop, R&B and bluegrass artists. Country singers have regularly performed the national anthem at the Super Bowl, especially in recent years, with artists including Chris Stapleton, Mickey Guyton, Eric Church and Reba McEntire doing the honors. However, country artists have been a rare sight on the Super Bowl Halftime Show stage. In 1994, country music was the centerpiece of the halftime show, when The Judds, Clint Black, Tanya Tucker and Travis Tritt performed a full country halftime show, including songs such as ‘It’s A Little Too Late,’ ‘Love Can Build a Bridge’ and ‘T-R-O-U-B-L-E.’ Shania Twain headlined the halftime show in 2003.” As Whiskey Riff’s Aaron Ryan notes, “country music is as popular as it’s ever been right now, and it seems like we’re well overdue for another country halftime show. There are also more artists than ever before who are capable of putting on a performance like the one necessary to headline the Super Bowl – one that appeals to a wide audience and features a worldwide superstar,” including Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs. “An unpopular choice for country fans, though maybe the natural pick for the NFL and Nashville, would be Taylor Swift,” says Ryan. “She’s from Music City (or at least Hendersonville, which is close enough), and got her start in country music. If the NFL doesn’t want to go pure ‘country,’ maybe they try to compromise and get 2030 to be the year they finally land Taylor as the headliner.” ALSO: Minneapolis to host the 2028 NFL Draft.
