Pop Base Updates dropped a bombshell on X on Monday, 7 September 2026, announcing that Miley Cyrus had been confirmed as the headline act for the 2027 Super Bowl Apple Music halftime show. The post drew enormous attention almost instantly, though some fans quickly pointed out that neither the NFL nor Miley herself had made an official statement.

The news, if confirmed, would mark one of the biggest moments in Cyrus's career. The singer has been in the public eye since her days as Disney Channel's Hannah Montana and has since reinvented herself multiple times, most memorably with the wrecking-ball era that cemented her status as a pop force in her own right.

@DarkKni93166484 was not entirely sold on the choice: "After Kendrick then Bad Bunny this feels like a downgrade."
