People, for example, confirms that Swift “is not scheduled” to perform at next year’s halftime show. Meanwhile, a report from TMZ offers even more detail, and a likely explanation of how the rumours began.

According to TMZ, Swift had been offered the halftime slot, but turned it down. The reason, the outlet reports, is that she wants to complete rerecording new versions of her first six albums, following the masters for those albums being sold to Scooter Braun.
