Taylor Swift appears to be on the list of potential Super Bowl halftime performers.
The halftime show has been filled with A-list superstars of more recent generations in recent years, making Swift an ideal candidate.
Perhaps a wrinkle is her relationship with her new fiancé, Travis Kelce, considering he and his Kansas City Chiefs will be fighting for their fourth consecutive Super Bowl appearance.

Well, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell all but confirmed that Swift has an open invite.
"We would always love to have Taylor play. She is a special, special talent, and obviously she would be welcome at any time," he said on the "Today" show Wednesday.
Host Savannah Guthrie asked if Swift was "in the works," but Goodell would not budge.
"I can't tell you anything about that," he replied.
He did, however, clarify, "It’s a maybe."

"I’m waiting on my friend Jay-Z. It’s in his hands. I’m waiting for the smoke to come out," Goodell joked..
Chiefs fans would not be the only people thrilled if Swift were to perform, though.
"I'm definitely a Swiftie. A few Swifties at home," Goodell admitted.
