Jay-Z Turns Down Offer to Perform at 2018 Super Bowl

I don't think artists like Taylor Swift would say no if asked.

Oh god, we're getting T-Swizzle are we?

Taylor has absolutely no reason to do it. What would she gain? Her singles and albums sell like hotcakes, and her concerts sell out in minutes. There's no money to be had because the NFL has recently flipped the model and requires the performer to pay them. The Super Bowl halftime spot can't help her at all.
 
That's assuming Kanye would perform and not just ramble for five minutes before walking off the stage.

Super Bowl needs old school Kanye, when he was an artist with something to say. Not the post Kardashian reality drama star that he is today.

New kanye fits the super bowl more.

Since the NFL isnt about shit.

If nothing else, it would give her a significant PR bump. The general reaction to her last single & her persona over the last year has been pretty negative - and a Super Bowl Halftime show would basically serve as a massive advertisement for her personal brand. Which I agree, she doesn't really need. But it could be a smart pre-emptive strike against future backlash - just by reminding people that she's still a killer performer.

Plus, imagine burying the hatchet by bringing Perry or Kanye on stage for a collaboration. That's the kind of moment that can rewrite a narrative.

That's a little bit like saying that there's no point in Coke spending so much money on adverts when everybody already knows them. You gotta stay in the limelight all the time or you are yesterday's news.
 
It's gonna be Toby Keith isn't it.

I recently heard a newer Toby Keith song and ....man what a huge disappointment he's become. No wonder he was left out of the Forever Country video

Wants to outlaw technological innovation.
Kanye would be more interesting to watch than Jay Z
although you don't know what to expect with him
 
Convince Jay-Z... together with Pearl Jam:
