Roger Goodell Confirms Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl Halftime Invitation Has No Expiration
The NFL has made plenty of bold halftime show bookings in its history, but commissioner Roger Goodell has now confirmed that one potential act sits above all others — and the invitation will never run out.
Speaking with reporters, Goodell revealed that global superstar Taylor Swift holds a standing offer to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show whenever she chooses. “The invitation for Taylor Swift to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show has no expiration date,” Goodell said. “She’s one of the greatest performers in the world, and whenever she’s ready, the stage will be hers.”
For years, speculation around Swift and the Super Bowl has dominated both sports and entertainment circles. Her unparalleled global reach, combined with her NFL ties in recent seasons, has made her name a constant in fan wish lists for the halftime slot.
Goodell’s remarks only fuel that anticipation, essentially confirming that the league sees Swift as a dream headliner — not just for one year, but for any year she decides the timing is right.
The timing, however, has been the main hurdle. Swift’s ongoing tours and recording commitments have so far kept her from committing to a halftime show, even as fan campaigns trend every season. Yet with Goodell making clear that the door will always be open, the NFL appears willing to wait indefinitely.
From Michael Jackson to Beyoncé, the Super Bowl stage has long been home to the most iconic performances in music. Adding Taylor Swift to that list would be among the most anticipated moments in the event’s history.
Until then, the invitation remains untouched — a reminder that the NFL is ready, and that whenever Swift says yes, the world will be watching.
Eagles Sign Former Third-Round Pick at Cornerback After Vikings Waive Him
Philadelphia’s roster continues to evolve as the team makes another late-summer adjustment ahead of the 2025 season. After a string of cuts and injured reserve moves, the Eagles decided to strengthen their defensive backfield once more.
The decision follows a busy week that saw Philadelphia shuffle depth at multiple positions. Running back Audric Estime was added to the practice squad, Willie Lampkin went to injured reserve, while Eli Ricks and Terrace Marshall were released.
This latest move reflects the Eagles’ long-standing strategy under Howie Roseman: targeting players with pedigree who may benefit from a fresh start. It’s a low-risk signing that offers potential depth in a thin secondary unit.
Cornerback Ambry Thomas, a former third-round pick out of Michigan by the San Francisco 49ers in 2021, was brought in after being waived by the Minnesota Vikings earlier this week. He intercepted a pass in Minnesota’s preseason opener before roster cuts.

Thomas, 25, spent last season on the Vikings’ practice squad and previously logged significant snaps in San Francisco. His collegiate career included All-Big Ten honors in 2020, where he developed into a respected cover corner with size and speed.
For the Eagles, Thomas represents a player with experience and upside, one who could potentially push for opportunities under Vic Fangio’s defensive scheme. Philadelphia’s cornerback room has been in flux, and additional competition is always welcomed.
The secondary already features names like Darius Slay and Quinyon Mitchell, but depth remains crucial as the team eyes another deep playoff run. Thomas’ skillset offers flexibility in coverage and special teams if he can earn trust.
Whether Thomas sticks long term or not, this signing illustrates the Eagles’ relentless pursuit of roster improvement. With the regular season opener fast approaching, Philadelphia is leaving no stone unturned in finding contributors.
