Miley Cyrus has admitted that headlining the Super Bowl halftime show feels overwhelming, though she hasn’t completely ruled out the possibility. In a cover story interview with Variety published on March 18, the 33-year-old addressed ongoing speculation about whether she would take on one of the biggest stages in music.
“I always think the Super Bowl feels like too much pressure,” Cyrus said. She went on to explain how the sheer scale of the event presents a mental challenge.
“I would have to do the mental work of making it not about the Super Bowl, because then you can’t help but go, ‘It’s millions of people, and it’s the most-watched thing in the world,’” she added.
Despite her hesitation, Cyrus revealed she could envision accepting the opportunity under the right creative circumstances. “If I could find a way to make it exactly what the Hannahversary was — taking a journey through the discography and appreciating each song, each era for what it is — I think I could find it in myself,” she said.

Her set featured tracks like “High,” “Edge of Midnight,” and “We Can’t Stop,” while her emotional rendition of her 2013 hit Wrecking Ball stood out as one of the most memorable moments of the performance.
