- After their Super Bowl weekend ads on Feb. 8, the Backstreet Boys publicly floated headlining the 2027 Super Bowl halftime during a show at the Sphere on Feb. 11, prompting an enthusiastic fan response and McLean's comment `Let's make it happen then!`.
- Given a February 14 broadcast, the nostalgia-driven tours and their Las Vegas residency, combined with their prior Super Bowl ties, create favorable timing for a bid, the band said.
- FanDuel's market shows that Miley Cyrus is the early favorite, with odds listing Wallen at +1120, Styles at +1040, and Grande at +920, amid fierce fan campaigns including the Strait petition with over 130,000 signatures.
- AJ McLean's onstage pitch at the Sphere provoked immediate cheering and enthusiastic fan support, and he urged, `Let's make it happen then!`.
- The halftime stage reaches over 100 million viewers, making the headliner choice especially consequential as NFL and Roc Nation emphasize cultural impact with Valentine's Day as a backdrop.
