What Does Idaho Want For 2026’s Halftime Show? Country? Rock?

How did you feel about this year's halftime show featuring Kendrick Lamar and SZA?

In case you missed it, no worries:

We're sure you're not surprised by this, but fans are very divided when it comes to how they feel about this year's show. So divided, in fact, that football fans are clamoring for the NFL to go in a different direction musically in 2026.

It has been a while since we've seen a mainstream country or rock act headline the halftime show. Is that something you'd like to see? Jelly Roll? Nickelback? Post Malone? Creed? Carrie Underwood?

Or should the NFL continue to stick with Jay-Z as the creative force behind the halftime show, and the reason you've seen more hip-hop influence in recent years during the performance.

You tell us who you'd like to see, and we'll start making phone calls.

If you take another (closer) look at Kendrick and SZA's halftime performance, there's a lot to unpack there.

So much, in fact, that we put together a handy dandy guide featuring every easter egg and symbol you may have missed while watching the halftime show live.

How many of these did you catch on your first viewing?

What's been your all-time favorite halftime performance? Usher? Eminem? Prince? The Walt Disney Company doing "It's A Small World" in 1977 (yes, they acutually did that)?

Let's take a stroll together down memory lane and revisit some of the most talked-about halftime performances in history.

It's A Small World didn't make the cut, sadly.
