Jay-Z picks himself to headline the Super Bowl halftime show: ‘A DREAM COME TRUE’
Jay-Z’s halftime set will come 11 years after his wife Beyoncé last took the stage during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2016, when she made a special appearance alongside headlining band Coldplay
The NFL has announced that rapper Jay-Z will take the stage for the halftime show of Super Bowl LXI in Los Angeles this February. Jay-Z's Roc Nation entertainment company has been responsible for producing the star-studded halftime show each year since 2020, but this marks Jay-Z's first appearance as a performer at the event. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed his excitement about the prospect of Jay-Z taking the stage, stating that he couldn't be more thrilled for fans worldwide to witness the artistry, creativity, and cultural impact he will bring to the Super Bowl stage.
It remains unclear whether Jay-Z will be the sole headliner for the halftime show. The announcement comes after Jay-Z performed two shows at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium last weekend, concluding a year-long tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt. Reflecting on his journey, Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, expressed his delight at the opportunity to perform at the world's biggest stage, stating that this run has been a dream come true, spanning 30 years of music, work, and culture.
