Last song at 2027 Big Game Halftime Show?
Leaning No: the market has Jay-Z confirmed for February 14, 2027, but there is still no setlist or guest confirmation pointing to “Empire State of Mind” as the closer.
Analysis
On October 26, 2026, Jay-Z was announced as the Super Bowl LXI halftime headliner, but no official song order has been released. That matters because this market is specifically about the last song played, not just whether the song appears at all.
“Empire State of Mind” is plausible because it fits Jay-Z’s catalog and could feature a guest like Alicia Keys, but that remains speculative. With no confirmed lineup or finale clues, the evidence leans slightly against it being the last song.
Arguments
For
- The song is one of Jay-Z’s most recognizable and event-friendly tracks, so it has a real path to inclusion.
- A New York-themed anthem can work well as a celebratory closer if the show wants a big finale.
Against
- The halftime show has no confirmed setlist, so the last song is still highly uncertain.
- The song depends on either Jay-Z performing it or a suitable guest setup, and neither has been announced.
Key drivers
- Jay-Z is confirmed to headline the halftime show on February 14, 2027, so his signature songs are plausible candidates for the finale.
- No official setlist, closer, or guest appearance has been announced, which makes a specific last-song prediction weak.
Risk factors
- Alicia Keys or another guest could appear and make “Empire State of Mind” a natural ending choice.
- Jay-Z could choose a different closer from a larger crowd-pleasing hit, pushing this song out of the final slot.
Scenarios
Best case
If Alicia Keys is officially announced or appears and the show closes with “Empire State of Mind” on February 14, 2027, Yes rises to about 32%.
Most likely
Most likely Jay-Z performs a different closing song or the setlist stays unrevealed until show day, with Yes around 13%.
Worst case
If the halftime show ends with a different Jay-Z anthem or a guest-led finale on February 14, 2027, Yes falls to about 5%.
