What they’re saying

“I always think the Super Bowl feels like too much pressure. I would have to do the mental work of making it not about the Super Bowl, because then you can't help but go, 'It's millions of people, and it's the most-watched thing in the world.'”

— Miley Cyrus

“But if I could find a way to make it exactly what the Hannahversary was—taking a journey through the discography and appreciating each song, each era for what it is—I think I could find it in myself.”

— Miley Cyrus

“We did not want irony. This is not a joke. I didn't want this to be a viral moment. My point of doing this was not to break the internet. My entire life is because of that loyalty.”

— Miley Cyrus

What’s next

Fans will have to wait and see if Miley Cyrus is officially offered the 2027 Super Bowl halftime show gig and whether she accepts the opportunity.

The takeaway

Miley Cyrus' comments suggest she is seriously considering the Super Bowl halftime show, but wants to approach it in a way that celebrates her musical journey and connects with her loyal fanbase, rather than treating it as just a high-pressure viral moment.
