Will Miley Cyrus be able to perform at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show
Miley Cyrus’ fans are buzzing about reports that she’ll be heading the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Reports hit the web on Monday, July 8 that the «Flowers» singer would be taking the stage next year for football’s biggest night, which is set to take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Popular sports site MLFootball first broke the rumors, noting that Cyrus, 31, had been «one of the finalists» to play the Halftime Show last year before the gig ultimately went to Usher.
One fan on X wrote that a potential performance from the “Wrecking Ball” singer would “change lives” while others cited her 2024 Grammys performance as a preview of the energy and vocals Cyrus could bring to the show.
Neither Cyrus, 31, nor the NFL have commented on the possible news, though PEOPLE reached out to both for comment.
Of course, Super Bowl LIX is always away, with football season not even starting until Sept. 5. The Big Game will be held on Feb. 9, 2025.

If Cyrus does perform, it’ll be a huge step for the Grammy winner. She told British Vogue in May 2023 that she prefers to perform for her friends rather than stadiums full of fans.
«Like singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn’t really the thing that I love,» said Cyrus. «There’s no connection.
There’s no safety. It’s also not natural. It’s so isolating because if you’re in front of 100,000 people then you are alone.»
The negative impact performing in stadiums had on her mental health, Cyrus said, is the reason she hasn’t gone on the road since her 2014 Bangerz Tour.
«This has nothing to do with a lack of appreciation for the fans and everything to do with I simply don’t want to get ready in a locker room, which is the reality of life on the road,» she wrote on X.
«I just don’t want to sleep on a moving bus. It isn’t what’s best for me right NOW.»
