For weeks, the internet was buzzing with one question:
“Is Carrie Underwood performing at the Super Bowl?”
Petitions flooded Twitter. Fan accounts posted countdowns. Edits, predictions, and “confirmed” rumors spread like wildfire — all built on the dream of seeing the Queen of Country Rock dominate the biggest stage in American sports.
But today, the truth finally dropped:

It’s not happening.
Despite the momentum, the hashtags, and thousands begging the NFL to put her in the halftime spotlight, the official Super Bowl performer lineup has been announced — and Carrie Underwood’s name is not on the list.
No last-minute surprises.
No secret announcements.
Just the end of weeks of speculation.
Fans took to social media within minutes, expressing everything from disappointment to full-on frustration:
-
“How do you ignore Carrie AGAIN?!”
-
“The woman performs Sunday Night Football better than anyone — and she still gets skipped???”
-
“Petition didn’t work… we tried.”
The rumor collapsed as fast as it rose.
SO WHAT HAPPENED?
Sources say discussions never progressed past fan speculation. Carrie’s team didn’t confirm talks, and the NFL made its decision quietly, closing the door on any mid-season surprises.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Carrie Underwood will not take the Super Bowl stage this season — despite being one of the most requested artists online.
But if the internet has made anything clear, it’s this:
Fans aren’t giving up on seeing her headline a Super Bowl someday — and with her talent and star power, it may only be a matter of time.
