Many NFL fans are thrilled to see Carrie Underwood perform on NBC’s Sunday Night Football this year. Some have even urged the league to perform at the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show.

However, there is no confirmation on whether the country star will feature at the Super Bowl next year.

The NFL gave pop icon Rihanna the opportunity to set the stage alight during the halftime show of the 2023 Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. However, the league is yet to decide on the artist(s) who will take center stage at the big game in 2024.

The 58th Super Bowl is scheduled to be played on February 11, 2024, at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
