A dream come true! Beyoncé's husband to headline Super Bowl halftime show

Beyoncé’s rap king hubby Jay-Z is about to make her dream come true! He will headline the 2027 Super Bowl 61 halftime show, which will take place on Valentine's Day, February 14, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, USA.

Jay-Z said in a statement: "From 'Reasonable Doubt' (the first album released in 1996) to the stage of the Super Bowl halftime show, there has been a lot along the way. 30 years of music, creation and cultural accumulation will now be presented on the world's grandest stage. This journey is like a continuation of a dream come true."

During the halftime of the "Monday Night Football" game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles, the NFL announced that Jay-Z would perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. He appeared in black and white ads for Apple Music and the NFL, and the copy read: "The secret can finally be hidden."

Roc Nation, the music brand and entertainment company founded by Jay-Z in 2008, has been co-producing the halftime show with the league since 2019. In the past, Jay-Z participated in selecting the main show candidates for the Super Bowl halftime show. This time he will perform in person. It is reported that the main show candidates originally considered included singers such as Justin Bieber and Miley.

Beyonce served as the main performer of the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans in 2013, and also appeared on the stage again as a guest in 2016; Jay-Z himself has never performed on this important stage, so his fans are looking forward to it after the news is confirmed, and it will be broadcast by ESPN.

The reason why American media and netizens are enthusiastically discussing that Jay-Z will be the host of the Super Bowl halftime show is that many people ridiculed that "he chose himself." Mainly because Roc Nation, the entertainment company he founded, has a large say in deciding who can be on the stage of the ultimate NFL season game.
