TAYLOR Swift has told NFL bosses to forget about any hopes of her performing in the Super Bowl half-time show.
With the superstar singer now set to be in Las Vegas on February 11 to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs following their weekend win over the Baltimore Ravens, the NFL was hoping she would add extra razzmatazz to the all-important mid-game entertainment.
R&B legend Usher and Post Malone are already booked to perform, but despite testing the water as to her availability, The U.S. Sun has been told the Cruel Summer star isn't interested.
Taylor starts the next leg of her Eras Tour on February 7 in Tokyo and will have to rush back to the United States the night before the Super Bowl to ensure she arrives at Allegiant Stadium on time.
Her longstanding commitments in Japan mean she wouldn't have been able to attend rehearsals which are due to start three days before the showpiece clash.
But a source close to Taylor says her only interest is "to support Travis and the Chiefs."
"She is loving the process, coming to the games and seeing Travis happy and enjoying winning and doing great," the insider told The U.S. Sun.
Taylor is very conscious about not taking away any of the spotlight from Travis, who is aiming for a third Super Bowl ring.
The 34-year-old has been cheering the Chiefs on from the stands during their post-season run and shared a congratulatory kiss with the tight end after the Ravens were swatted aside.
"She wants to be there for him, and share this moment with him, as he can make history," the source added.
"She wants to focus on that, be in stands, and have a great time with her friends and family.
"She wants the whole experience of the game, to be a fan like she has been doing every time she comes to Travis' games."
But, of course, Taylor isn't any ordinary fan and has regularly drawn the attention of TV cameras whenever in attendance.
However, it seems she has grown tired of the persistent attention during games.

As the Chiefs took on the Ravens with the AFC title at stake on Sunday, cameras cut to Taylor in a suite alongside family and friends.
In a clip that has since gone viral, Taylor appeared to be blankly staring up at a TV screen mouthing what some social media fans have interpreted as, "Go away, please."
CBS cameras then quickly cut to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.
Following the game, Taylor and Reid appeared to share a touching moment as they celebrated Kansas City's win, appearing to point to one another as he stood on the on-field podium.
While Taylor may not be performing on Sunday, February 11, she does plan to be in attendance to cheer Travis on as he and the Chiefs take on the red-hot San Francisco 49ers in Nevada.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 pm ET.
