Country music artist Jelly Roll is publicly floating a bold idea that has fans buzzing: an all–country music–themed Super Bowl halftime show spotlighting some of the genre’s biggest names — and potentially bringing the legendary event to Nashville in the coming years.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly on the red carpet during the 2026 Grammy Awards, Jelly Roll outlined a dream scenario in which Super Bowl organizers would assemble a country-focused halftime performance, especially if the big game were to be hosted in Nashville once a new stadium opens.

“The Super Bowl could possibly come to Nashville in the next three to five years … and I have a dream that they do a country music–themed halftime show,” Jelly Roll said, according to Country Now.

Jelly Roll didn’t stop with the vision — he also shared the lineup he’d love to see on the stage. While he said he would be honored to be included in even a brief performance, he cited a mix of country legends and contemporary stars he hopes would participate, including Kenny Chesney, Morgan Wallen and Lainey Wilson, among others.

In addition to those artists, his comments have mentioned other marquee names such as Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton and newer stars like HARDY and Megan Moroney as part of a celebratory country lineup designed to represent both the genre’s history and its present.

The idea follows build-up around Nashville’s new enclosed Nissan Stadium, which is slated to open in 2027 and could position the city as a viable future Super Bowl host. If Nashville’s bid succeeds, it could be in the running as early as Super Bowl LXIII in 2029, offering a chance to anchor a halftime show around its musical heritage.

That hasn’t stopped Jelly Roll and his fans from imagining what such a celebration might look like: a showcase of country music’s biggest names from legends to rising stars, all sharing a spotlight typically dominated by pop, rock or hip-hop performers.

Despite the excitement, this year’s Super Bowl halftime show — Super Bowl LX taking place February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California — will feature Bad Bunny, with no country-themed set on the lineup.

Jelly Roll’s proposal adds to ongoing conversations about the genre’s place in major mainstream moments. Country music has a long history in American culture, yet a fully country-centric Super Bowl halftime show has not occurred for decades. The last time the genre dominated the halftime stage was in 1994 when an ensemble of country artists performed.

Whether the NFL will embrace the idea remains unknown — but Jelly Roll’s comments have already fueled fan discussion about a potential shift in how country music might be showcased on one of the world’s biggest entertainment stages.
