An insider tells National Enquirer this week that Britney will be part of Super Bowl 50 and while details are still being worked out, whatever she does, 'it will be huge'.
I doubt they would start negotiations this early. Katy wasn't in talks until July-ish. Sounds fake to me
The 50th show is much, much more important. The article makes it seem like it will be a conglomeration of artists instead of just one headliner, though I'd prefer just Britney as a headliner.
