Miley Cyrus is about to be announced for the biggest stage in music, with the singer currently one of the leading contenders to headline the Super Bowl halftime show in 2027. Although the NFL has not officially announced Miley as the performer, speculation has grown significantly in recent weeks. Miley herself has previously discussed the possibility, admitting that the Super Bowl feels like an enormous amount of pressure, but saying she could imagine doing it if she approached the performance as a celebration of her entire career.
If Miley does get the call, fans could expect a career-spanning set rather than a show focused solely on her newest material. “Flowers” would be an obvious choice, given its huge popularity and Grammy-winning status. We could also hear Wrecking Ball, Party in the U.S.A., We Can’t Stop, The Climb and 7 Things. A Hannah Montana section would also be difficult to resist, particularly after Miley recently celebrated the character’s 20th anniversary. Miley has said that her ideal Super Bowl performance would take audiences through her different eras and appreciate the songs that defined each stage of her career.
Her new musical era could also feature heavily. Miley has announced her tenth studio album, Bass Persuades, for September 18, 2026, and the title track suggests a more energetic, rock-influenced direction. The album also includes collaborations with Model/Actriz and Andrew Wyatt, giving Miley plenty of new material to incorporate into a potential halftime set.
The biggest question is whether Miley would bring out special guests. Nothing has been confirmed, so any names are purely speculation. Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, Billy Idol or Lindsey Buckingham would all make sense musically, given Miley’s history of collaborations and her rock influences. There could also be a major Hannah Montana-related surprise, perhaps a Disney-era cameo or a guest connected to that period of her career.
One emotional possibility would be a tribute to Dolly Parton, Miley’s godmother and lifelong musical influence, who died in August 2026. Miley’s relationship with Dolly was deeply connected to her music and upbringing, so a tribute could become one of the defining moments of the performance.
For now, though, Miley at the Super Bowl remains speculation rather than fact. If she is officially announced, expect a performance built around nostalgia, rock, pop hits and a very strong Hannah Montana moment.
