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 aways 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.”
Still, if there’s anyone who could get Cyrus on the stage at the Super Bowl, it’s probably her godmother Dolly Parton. After all, Parton was responsible for getting Cyrus on stage at the Grammys.
“I told her, ‘I’m wondering if I’m going to do the Grammys or not,’ ” Cyrus recalled in an episode of Netflix’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman in June 2024. “And she said, ‘Well of course you’re going to do the Grammys. And you’re not just going to show up but you’re going to show off. And you’re going to be everything that you are sitting right here in front of me.’ ”
“She’s always said this to me: ‘You do you, and I’ll do me, and together we’ll be us,’ ” she continued. “So she wasn’t telling me to be Dolly, she wasn’t telling me to be fabulous and hide behind the sparkles and the hair. She was telling me to be me.”

Parton herself has never played the Super Bowl Halftime Show in her decades-long career, though has said that she’s been offered the prestigious gig “many times” in the past but declined.
“I couldn’t do it because of other things, or I just didn’t think I was big enough to do it — to do that big of a production,” the 78-year-old country icon told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published in November 2023. “When you think about those shows, those are big, big productions. I’ve never done anything with that big of a production. I don’t know if I could have. I think at the time that’s what I was thinking.”
Perhaps she and Cyrus, as the fans have asked for, could do it together. “Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton should do the Super Bowl Halftime Show,” a fan wrote on social media last August, another commenting, “Now this is something I’d love to see.”
