Super Bowl 64 is Coming to Nashville! Who Could Potentially Perform at Halftime?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Music City, warm up the hot chicken and alert Broadway. The Super Bowl is officially coming to Nashville.

The NFL announced today that Nashville will host Super Bowl LXIV in February 2030, bringing football’s biggest night to the Tennessee Titans’ new enclosed Nissan Stadium. It will be the first time Nashville has ever hosted a Super Bowl, which means yes, the city has approximately four years to prepare for the most chaotic bachelorette-party-meets-NFL-fan crossover event in American history.

NFL owners approved the move during the Spring League Meeting in Orlando, giving Music City the green light to take center stage. The game will be played inside the Titans’ new stadium, a massive $2.1 billion enclosed venue expected to open before the 2027 NFL season. Translation: Nashville finally got the “big game” venue, and the NFL said, “Say less.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Nashville’s 2019 NFL Draft helped prove the city was ready for a moment like this, calling the Super Bowl “the next great step in a remarkable football journey.”

Nashville has already hosted massive music festivals, NHL events, NFL Draft crowds and enough woo-girl pedal taverns to qualify as an endurance sport. Now, the city gets the one event that combines football, music, celebrity sightings, traffic nightmares and $37 nachos into one glittery national spectacle.

The Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. is already leaning into the moment, with Visit Music City calling out Super Bowl LXIV coming in 2030 and declaring that Nashville does not just host iconic moments, it “builds the stages where legends play.”

Which brings us to the obvious question…

Who Should Perform the Halftime Show?

In a city that is known for music, many eyes will be on that halftime stage.

Nothing has been announced yet, but since this is Nashville, the halftime show cannot simply be “good.” It has to be legendary, emotional, slightly unhinged and somehow include both rhinestones and glamour.

Here are potential candidates that might take the stage in 2030.

Dolly Parton
Because it is Nashville. Because it is Dolly. Because America would heal for 13 minutes.

Taylor Swift
Nashville roots, global domination, friendship bracelets, emotional damage. The NFL would have to reinforce the stadium roof.

Miley Cyrus
Franklin girl. Power vocals. Chaos in the best way. Imagine “Party in the U.S.A.” at the Super Bowl in Tennessee. Done.

Jelly Roll
A true Nashville story. Local, raw, emotional and stadium-ready. Also, the crowd would absolutely lose it.

Kelsea Ballerini + Paramore/Hayley Williams
East Tennessee meets Nashville meets pop-punk redemption arc. Very “I grew up here and now I own the moment.”

Morgan Wallen
A Tennessee-sized pick, definitely polarizing, but also undeniably huge in country music right now.

A Nashville Mega-Medley
Dolly, Miley, Jelly Roll, Kelsea, Sheryl Crow, Kings of Leon, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson and maybe Taylor popping out for one verse just to break the internet.
