NFL commissioner Roger Goodell isn’t shying away from the possibility of the biggest pop star on the planet singing on the league’s grandest stage.

Speaking Wednesday on NBC’s “Today,” Goodell welcomed the notion of having Taylor Swift perform the halftime show at Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif.

“We would always love to have Taylor play,” Goodell said. “She is a special, special talent and obviously, she would be welcome at any time.”

When asked if a Swift halftime show already was in the works, Goodell didn’t deny it.

“I can’t tell you anything about that … it’s a maybe,” Goodell said.

Swift, a 14-time Grammy winner, and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce announced their engagement on Aug. 26 in a joint post on Instagram.

Swift, however, is no stranger to performing at NFL games — just not at a Super Bowl. She sang the national anthem ahead of the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game against the visiting Miami Dolphins in 2006, and she also performed at the 2010 season opener between the host New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings.

More recently, Swift has been a regular in attendance at Chiefs games during her relationship with Kelce.

She did attend the past two Super Bowls, however.

Swift celebrated with Kelce after Kansas City defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. She also consoled him after the Chiefs fell short in their bid for a three-peat with a setback to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans in February.
