SCANDALOUS NEWS: ADELE IN TALKS TO TAKE THE STAGE AT THE 2026 SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW!

In a shocking twist, sources close to the singer have revealed that global superstar Adele is in secret negotiations to perform at the highly-anticipated Super Bowl halftime show in 2026. The 37-year-old songstress, known for her powerful voice and chart-topping hits like "Hello" and "Skyfall," has reportedly been approached by organizers to take center stage in Santa Clara, California.

But this isn't the first time Adele has been linked to the Super Bowl gig. In 2016, she infamously turned down an invitation to perform at the halftime show for the 2017 game, citing that the event wasn't about music and that she couldn't dance. However, it seems she's had a change of heart this time around.

Despite not being yet 'officially booked', the Hello hitmaker, 37, is rumoured to be taking to the epic American stage for the big game in Santa Clara, California , the next February, according to Page Six reports (pictured in February)

Adele, who has won an impressive 16 Grammy Awards throughout her career, has been making headlines in recent months with her highly successful Las Vegas residency and record-breaking shows in Munich. Her concerts have shattered world records, including one for the largest continuous outdoor LED screen ever used at a concert residency.

But what's even more intriguing is that Adele's representatives are tight-lipped about the Super Bowl rumors, fueling speculation about whether she'll finally take the stage to perform for millions of viewers worldwide. When asked for comment by The Scholarly Note.com, sources close to Adele remained mum on the matter.

However, insiders claim that Adele has been in talks with her team and organizers about the potential performance, which would be a major coup for the Super Bowl halftime show. And it seems she's not the only A-lister being considered for the gig – pop icons Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus are also reportedly in the running.

In 2016 Adele told a Los Angeles crowd: 'First of all, I'm not doing the Super Bowl¿ I mean, that show is not about music. I can't dance or anything like that. They were very kind, they did ask me, but I did say no' (pictured in February)

But what does this mean for Adele's next career move? Sources close to the singer have revealed that she's been approached by publishers with a multi-million pound deal to pen an autobiography, detailing her rise to fame and personal life. The book is said to be a tell-all, covering everything from her childhood at the BRIT School to her love life and becoming a mother.

It seems Adele has finally agreed to share her story in her own words – beyond the headlines. But with this new project comes the question: will she ever release new music? With her Las Vegas residency earning an eye-watering £21,500 per show and her Munich concerts shattering world records, it's clear that Adele is still a major force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.

And speaking of finances, it's been revealed that Adele earned a staggering £7.7 million from her various companies over the past 12 months, including Melted Stone Publishing Ltd, which deposited £13.5 million cash into its accounts. Her other companies, Melted Stone Ltd and A.Adkins Touring Ltd, also raked in significant sums.

Although, the Skyfall singer has previously attended the Superbowl game as a fans, accompanied by her fiancé Rich Paul , who is one of sports' biggest agents (pictured together in April)

So will Adele finally take to the stage at the Super Bowl halftime show? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – if she does, it'll be a spectacle unlike anything we've ever seen before. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story!
