In 2003 Shania Twain played the Halftime show at the Super Bowl, and since then, country music has not been part of the Super Bowl halftime show. While many country stars, including Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Eric Church, and Luke Bryan, have performed the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, the Halftime show has excluded country stars for the most part.
So here’s a look at the country superstars that would be amazing at Halftime in the future.
This guy commands sold-out arena shows and has a very rockin' country show that would play nicely at the Super Bowl.
Luke is a standout act that keeps his soldout crowds on their feet and even dazzles his capacity Las Vegas crowd. Thanks to his role on 'American Idol,' he's a household name to even non-country fans.
One of country music's biggest stars and personalities, Blake would be great at the Super Bowl halftime show, especially with his special guest wife, Gwen Stefani, taking the stage with her man. And like Luke Bryan, thanks to being a judge on a music competition show, all of America knows who Blake is.
A stadium country music superstar, Kenny would be excellent at the Super Bowl halftime show playing, most likely in a stadium that he has already headlined.
Her latest "Denim and Rhinestones" show is full of energy and keeps the crowd screaming for more. Carrie is a natural and would get an A+ at a halftime show. She also has history with the NFL, having sung the Monday Night Football theme for them.
His shows are legendary, and with his guitar skills, Keith would make country music proud at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Just a handful of years into his massive career, Luke is already playing stadiums all over the country, and his show can get wild and rowdy with the party country atmosphere.
Morgan keeps fans screaming for more in stadiums all over the country.
She's a pop star now, but she started in Nashville as a country music superstar. Surprisingly, she has not done a halftime Super Bowl show yet. She has the fanbase, for sure. If only Ticketmaster could handle it.
He says he is done playing stadiums after his recent three-year stadium tour, but with his high-energy show and legendary status, it's shocking that Garth has not done Halftime yet.
