Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl halftime show is still making waves more than a week later — including his song “DtMF” topping the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time — but that doesn’t mean we can’t start looking ahead to who might be up next for the 2027 halftime.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are taking a closer look at the Billboard.com reader poll that went live last week asking who should headline next year’s Super Bowl halftime show, Right now, BTS is leading by a landslide, with more than 85% of the vote. It would make sense for the newly reunited Korean superstars to cap their sure-to-be-active comeback year with potentially a big Grammys night — like Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny have done the last two years — followed by an epic performance on the Super Bowl stage. Of course, Taylor Swift is always in the Super Bowl conversation too, and we think Post Malone could be an overwhelmingly supported pick knowing how many genres he crosses.
And speaking of genres, there hasn’t been a country moment on the Super Bowl stage since the 1994 all-country halftime (Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt and The Judds) or when Shania Twain was part of a show that also included No Doubt and Sting in 2003. Who could be the best country pick to take the massive stage?

Also on the show, for the third week in a row, we have new No. 1s on both the Billboard 200 albums chart and the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, as J. Cole’s The Fall Off debuts atop the former while a Super Bowl-powered Bad Bunny gets his first solo No. 1 on the Hot 100 with “DtMF.”
