Jay-Z said he’ll just do the Super Bowl Halftime Show himself

The NFL didn’t have to look far for next year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performer.

Rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z, who has served in an advisory role to the NFL through his company Roc Nation since 2019, announced he will perform at the Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show in February.

The statement did not rule out or promise any additional performers.

In his role as live music entertainment strategist and social justice adviser, Jay-Z has effectively been responsible for selecting the talent that graces the halftime show stage for the last few years.

“When we first reached an agreement with Roc Nation to produce the show, I had just one request: that JAŸ-Z” — that is how the mogul currently styles his name — “take the stage himself one day, whenever the moment felt right to him,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in the announcement.

Last year’s halftime performer was Bad Bunny, who, in just 13 minutes, gave both a sprawling American history and music lesson .

It is not yet known whether the performance will be a family affair, but a guest appearance from his wife Beyoncé is certainly not out of the question.

Both have appeared as special guests at each other’s concerts and went on tour together in 2014 and 2018 when they co-headlined the “On the Run Tour” and “On the Run Tour II,” respectively.

More recently, Beyoncé has popped up as a surprise guest on Jay-Z’s “Reasonable Doubt 30th Anniversary Tour,” which is set to conclude October 24 in Los Angeles.

Beyoncé was the headliner at Super Bowl XLVII in 2013 where she reunited her group Destiny’s Child as part of the performance and was a guest performer (alongside Bruno Mars) during Coldplay’s headlining performance at Super Bowl 50 in 2016.

The couple, married in 2008, are the parents of three children.

Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California — and who better to rep Valentine’s Day than those two?

NFL无需费心寻找明年超级碗中场秀的表演者。

自 2019 年以来一直通过其公司 Roc Nation 为 NFL 提供咨询服务的说唱歌手兼企业家 Jay-Z 宣布，他将于 2 月份在第 61 届超级碗中场秀上表演。

声明中既没有排除也没有承诺会有其他表演者。

作为现场音乐娱乐策略师和社会正义顾问，Jay-Z 在过去几年里一直负责挑选登上中场秀舞台的表演人才。

NFL总裁罗杰·古德尔在声明中表示：“当我们最初与Roc Nation达成协议制作这档节目时，我只有一个要求：那就是让JAŸ-Z——这位大亨目前就是这样拼写自己的名字的——有一天亲自登上舞台，无论他觉得时机成熟与否。”

去年的中场表演嘉宾是 Bad Bunny，他在短短 13 分钟内，既带来了一场内容丰富的美国历史课，也带来了一场音乐课。

目前还不清楚这场演出是否会是一场家庭聚会，但他的妻子碧昂丝作为嘉宾出席绝对并非不可能。

两人都曾作为特邀嘉宾出席对方的演唱会，并分别于 2014 年和 2018 年共同举办巡回演唱会，共同领衔“On the Run Tour”和“On the Run Tour II”。

最近，碧昂丝惊喜现身 Jay-Z 的“合理怀疑 30 周年巡回演唱会”，该演唱会将于 10 月 24 日在洛杉矶落下帷幕。

碧昂丝在 2013 年的第 47 届超级碗上担任压轴表演嘉宾，并在表演中与她的组合“真命天女”重聚；她还作为嘉宾（与布鲁诺·马尔斯一起）在 2016 年的第 50 届超级碗上酷玩乐队的压轴表演中献唱。

这对夫妇于 2008 年结婚，育有三个孩子。

第 51 届超级碗将于 2027 年 2 月 14 日星期日在加利福尼亚州英格尔伍德的 SoFi 体育场举行——还有谁比他们俩更适合代表情人节呢？
