Who will perform at the 2027 Big Game halftime show?

As of the current point in the cycle, there is no meaningful public evidence that Dua Lipa is the NFL’s choice for the Super Bowl LXI halftime show. The market has already assigned her a non-trivial price, but the news flow described here shows no credible reporting, no leak, and no insider chatter specifically pointing to her. In a field where the league usually narrows attention around a handful of dominant candidates, the absence of her name from the reported front-runners is a major negative signal.

The strongest argument against a Dua Lipa outcome is that the discourse is being driven by other artists. Miley Cyrus is reportedly getting the most attention, while Justin Bieber and Harry Styles have also been linked to the shortlist, even if their chances are debated. That means the public and industry speculation is already coalescing around alternatives. For Dua Lipa to win, the selection would likely have to emerge from a quiet internal process that has somehow avoided leaks, which is possible but not the path the available evidence suggests.

There are still a few reasons not to assign her a literal zero. Super Bowl halftime selections are often kept tightly controlled, and a performer can sometimes appear late in the process without much advance confirmation. Dua Lipa is globally recognizable, has the catalog and live-performance profile needed for a marquee event, and would fit the league’s preference for a broad, cross-generational pop act. Even so, those generic qualifications are outweighed by the complete lack of specific support in the current rumor environment, making the most defensible estimate a low single-digit probability.
