LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: While it's still early to determine who will headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show, there's already a significant buzz around Jelly Roll potentially taking the stage, ever since San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle named the rapper as his top choice.

According to Whiskeyriff.com, many fans would eagerly welcome the rapper-turned-country artist’s anthemic, stadium-filling sound to the grand event scheduled to take place in New Orleans on February 9, 2025.

Jelly Roll could revive country music’s prominence at the Super Bowl

Jelly Roll's performance at the Halftime Show could potentially pave the way for country music to return to a prominent spot at the Super Bowl, a stage it once frequently graced.

The last country music act to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show was Shania Twain, who performed at Super Bowl XXXVII in 2003 in San Diego, California.

Since then, country artists like Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, and Reba McEntire have been featured performing the National Anthem, but a full-fledged country performance has been notably absent. Jelly Roll could be the artist to reintroduce country music to the spotlight.

High-profile NFL player George Kittle's support for Jelly Roll, extended during an appearance on the 'Up & Adams' show, is certainly good news for fans of the rapper who can expect a potential Super Bowl appearance.
