Kansas City Chiefs fans might not have been paying super close attention to the past few Super Bowl halftime shows considering their favorite team has played in five of the last six games. That being said, rest assured, the halftime show still takes place even if Chiefs fans are only half watching due to nerves.

While there's been a lot of chatter about if Taylor Swift will perform at this season's Super Bowl, the cat is out of the bag and the answer is no. Swift will not be the halftime performer and reportedly declined the offer to do so.

So who will be headlining the Super Bowl 60 halftime show instead? Well, that would be Puerto Rico's own Bad Bunny, who was announced as this year's performer during halftime of the Sunday Night Football game between Dallas and Green Bay.

Bad Bunny to headline Super Bowl 60 halftime show, Taylor Swift reportedly declined

The halftime shows that Chiefs fans have nervously sat through in recent years include Shakira and Jennifer Lopez (Super Bowl 54), The Weekend (Super Bowl 55), Rihanna (Super Bowl 57), Usher (Super Bowl 58), and Kendrick Lamar (Super Bowl 59). Maybe we'll be able to add Bad Bunny to that list next.

As for Swift, we're not sure why she declined the opportunity to play at the halftime show. Maybe she doesn't want to commit to doing so if her fiancé, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, ends up playing in his sixth Super Bowl (and possibly the last one of his career).

Maybe when Kelce retires Swift will consider doing the halftime show but for now, she appears content to watch as a fan like the rest of us. It's hard to blame her for wanting to just sit back and watch her fiancé play rather than having to take the stage for a massive performance and missing most of the game.
