Taylor said rapper Jay-Z, whose company Roc Nation produces the half-time show, “has always been very good to me”.

“That’s not an official offer or a conference room conversation.
“It’s just ‘how does she feel about it in general?'”
Fans had speculated that Taylor would perform at the event after the release of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl.
