by Super Bowl LIX may have wrapped just weeks ago, but fans are already buzzing about who should take the stage for next yearâs halftime show. And one name keeps rising to the top of the list: Carrie Underwood.
Itâs been over two decades since a country artist headlined the Super Bowl halftime show â the last being Shania Twain in 2003. With that in mind, fans believe itâs long overdue for country music to return to the big game spotlight. And who better than Carrie?
The Perfect Country Choice for the Super Bowl
Carrie Underwood isnât just a country powerhouse â sheâs been part of the NFLâs identity for more than a decade. Her high-energy rendition of âWaiting All Day for Sunday Nightâ has kicked off countless football Sundays, making her a beloved fixture of the sport.
From her powerhouse vocals to her wide-reaching fanbase and stage presence, Carrie checks all the boxes for a halftime show headliner.
What About Her Schedule? No Problem.
While Underwood is currently busy with multiple projects â including her role as a judge on American Idol â the show typically airs after the Super Bowl. That means her calendar likely wouldnât clash with a 2026 halftime performance.
In fact, the timing would be perfect.
Fans Are Rallying for Carrie

Carrieâs fanbase isnât staying quiet about their hopes. Online petitions are gaining momentum, and hashtags like #CarrieForHalftime are trending across social media as supporters campaign to make her the next Super Bowl headliner.
While the official announcement wonât come until later in the year, one thing is clear: the people have spoken, and they want to see Carrie take the stage.
Will It Happen? Time Will Tell.
Until the NFL makes its decision, fans will just have to wait and hope. But if Carrie Underwood does get the call, she wonât just be performing â sheâll be making country music history on one of the worldâs biggest stages.
đď¸ Fingers crossed, yâall. Itâs time for country to shine at the Super Bowl again.
