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 racked up enormous attention almost instantly, though some fans were quick to flag that neither the NFL nor Miley herself had made any 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.
Mzansi and Global Fans React to the News
Reactions online ranged from pure excitement to outright scepticism. Several users celebrated Cyrus's journey from child star to potential Super Bowl headliner, while others questioned the credibility of the announcement altogether.
