Surprising Worldwide Artist Emerges As Favorite To Headline Super Bowl 61 Halftime Show
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
A new name has shot up as the favorite to perform at the next Super Bowl Halftime Show. It’s none other than Wrecking Ball Miley Cyrus.
The last Halftime Show was record-setting, with the NFL, Roc Nation and Apple Music selecting Bad Bunny.
Consequently, the show and its buildup were easily the most controversial in Super Bowl history.
It’s going to be a few months before we find out who’s going to headline the Super Bowl 61 Halftime Show. However, prediction market Polymarket has Miley as the favorite.
The 33-year-old has performed at official SB events, including the 2021 pre-game TikTok Tailgate. Even so, she has confessed that a Halftime Show would come with “too much pressure.”

Cyrus has admitted that she would have to block out the magnitude of the event if she were to accept a proposal to headline it.
She’s also not going to make a penny off of it, but the exposure could be life-changing, even for Miley Cyrus.
