Over the years, many country acts have performed at the Super Bowl, but it has been over three decades since the biggest sporting event of the year has hosted an all-country lineup for its halftime show. With Super Bowl LX just around the corner, Jelly Roll is dreaming of making that moment a reality, and he’s already imagining the perfect lineup.

While walking the red carpet at the pre-GRAMMYs Gala with his wife, Bunnie XO, by his side, he told Entertainment Weekly that with Nashville building a brand-new Nissan Stadium, he hopes the Super Bowl will come to Music City. If that were the case, he predicts that it would be the perfect opportunity to finally host a country-filled halftime show.

“The Super Bowl could possibly come to Nashville in the next three to five years. We’re getting a new stadium. And I have a dream that they do a country music themed halftime show,” he told the reporter.

If this were to turn into a reality, Jelly Roll says that he would, of course, like to be included, even if it’s only for a few seconds. Besides himself, the genre-bending star votes to include a mix of modern superstars and icons like Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton.

“I would love to see the country legends and some of the new dogs like Morgan Wallen, HARDY…that’s my dream. Kenny Chesney and maybe they let me come out and do a verse of something.”

Bunnie also weighed in, making sure to include some of the new generation of female country stars making waves, like Megan Moroney and Ella Langley, which then prompted Jelly Roll to add Lainey Wilson to the list.

“All of our friends. But yeah, I’d love to see a country music themed halftime show that just kind of involved the whole community,” he added.

The “Winning Streak” singer isn’t the first to suggest a full-fledged country halftime show. Dierks Bentley also posed the idea back in 2023, the same year that Chris Stapleton delivered his unforgettable National Anthem performance for Super Bowl LVII

“For me personally, I’d be very happy watching Chris doing the half-time show. He would be amazing, and I think people would really love it…we need country as the half-time show. I’m just gonna say the Hot Country Knights are available,” he said, throwing out his parody country band as an option.

Chris Stapleton is joins the elite list of singer/songwriters of the country genre who have performed the National Anthem at the big game over the years. Others include Garth Brooks, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Reba McEntire, and more.

But the last time the halftime show featured all artists of this genre was in 1994. That year, Clint Black, Wynonna and Naomi Judd, Travis Tritt and Tanya Tucker, teamed up for a show to remember.

Fans saw Black open the show with “Tuckered Out,” followed by Tucker delivering “It’s A Little Too Late” and Tritt singing his hit “T-R-O-U-B-L-E.” Later on, Wynonna sang “No One Else On Earth” featuring a surprise appearance from her mother, Naomi, along with the rest of the lineup for a powerful performance of “Love Can Build a Bridge.”

This year, Super Bowl LX is once again lacking in the country music department. Taking place on February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, GRAMMY-winning rapper Bad Bunny will headline the Apple Music Halftime Show.

Additionally, Green Day will be on hand for the opening cermony, Charlie Puth will deliver the National Anthem and Brandi Carlile will sing “America the Beautiful.”

In between all the highly-anticipated performances, the Seattle Seahawks will take on the New England Patriots. All the excitement will unfold throughout Super Bowl LX, airing Sunday, February 8  at 6:30pm ET on NBC, Peacock, Telemundo, and Universo.
