Main Points
Jay‑Z has been announced as the headliner for the 2027 NFL halftime show, a move that shifts him from his long‑time role as producer to performer. The announcement was made Monday night during the Dallas Cowboys‑Philadelphia Eagles game on ESPN, when Roc Nation, the NFL and Apple Music released a black‑and‑white video featuring the rapper on a stadium backdrop set to “Public Service Announcement (Interlude)” from his 2003 album The Black Album. The announcement confirmed Jay‑Z’s participation but did not confirm any other performers. Fans have speculated that Beyoncé, his wife, might join him, but her involvement has not been confirmed. Beyoncé previously served as the poster artist for the 2013 Super Bowl XLVII halftime show and appeared as a special guest in 2016. Jay‑Z’s collaboration with the NFL began in 2019 through his company Roc Nation, which has produced the Super Bowl halftime show since 2020. The partnership has featured a range of high‑profile artists, including Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, The Weeknd, Rihanna, Usher, Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny. The 2026 halftime show was headlined by Bad Bunny, with special appearances by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. Shawn Carter has received six consecutive Emmy nominations as executive producer of the Super Bowl halftime show in the category for live entertainment programs. He won the award in 2022, when the show highlighted several American hip‑hop artists, and again in 2025, when Bad Bunny was the main performer. In 2023, he earned a third Emmy for directing the show featuring Rihanna. Super Bowl LXI, scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, will be the second NFL championship game held at the venue after the 2022 edition, which featured performances by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
