Taylor has yet to perform at the event despite her twenty-year career, but she has been very publicly attending (and cheering) in recent years to support <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marieclaire.co.uk\/celebrity-news\/travis-kelce-sharing-sweet-details-taylor-swift-engagement\" target=\"_blank\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.marieclaire.co.uk\/celebrity-news\/travis-kelce-sharing-sweet-details-taylor-swift-engagement\">her now-fianc\u00e9, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce<\/a>.

In fact, Commissioner Roger Goodell has only fuelled the speculation by refusing to deny that she&#8217;s in the running. Speaking on NBC&#8217;s <em>Today<\/em>, he said that Tayor is &#8216;welcome&#8217; to do it, and when asked if there were meetings happening behind the scenes he simply replied: &#8220;Maybe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"pt-3 pb-4 mb-4 border-b border-solid border-[#333]\">\n<span class=\"&#10;after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t-[#333] after:border-t after:border-solid&#10;before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t-[#333] before:border-t before:border-solid&#10;font-article-heading pb-3 !text-base font-bold uppercase sm:text-sm text-[#333] flex\"><br \/>\nYou may like<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Adding that Jay Z &#8211; who oversees the slot as part of Roc Nation &#8211; will make the announcement, Goodell said: &#8220;It&#8217;s in his hands.
