People have also started making speculation about who will be taking the stage at the Super Bowl LIV halftime show in Miami Gardens, Florida on February 2, 2020.

AceShowbiz - Super Bowl has always been an event that people all around the United States look forward to the most. Not only the exciting game, but the halftime show is something that they highly anticipate due to its headliners' stunning performance. From the set list to the stage, every artist who is tapped as the headliner often stuns both the audience and viewers at home so much that their set becomes legendary.

Big names like Lady GaGa and Katy Perry are some of the examples whose halftime performances leave a special spot in everyone's hearts. While the "Shallow" singer wowed everyone when she jumped off the roof of NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, the "Roar" hitmaker put on a quirky, yet memorable performance, making an entrance by using a 40-foot animatronic lion.

Now that the announcement for the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show headliner is approaching closer, people have started making speculation or simply letting out their opinion about which singers who should headline the annual event. And with Jay-Z recently signing a deal with NFL, the anticipation is getting stronger.

Below, we have listed several singers who are most anticipated to headline Super Bowl LIV halftime show in Miami Gardens, Florida on February 2, 2020. Check it out.

1. Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey has been around in the music industry longer than some Super Bowl headliners like Katy Perry, Lady GaGa and Bruno Mars, so the fact that she has never ever headlined the event just made her fans demand for her to be the headliner even more. They have created several petitions to NFL to tap the singing diva to do the show for several years, and despite their continuous fail, they never give up and do it again.

One even directly tagged NFL in a tweet and wrote, "Hey @nfl why don't you get a diva whose career spans over three decades for the show this year? That's right, let's see @MariahCarey at the #halftime show in 2020." Another said, "I will only forgive you if you pick Mariah Carey as the Super Bowl headliner." Mariah herself expressed her interest to do the show back in 2018 when asked whether she would ever perform at the annual football event. She replied at the time, "I would love to!"

2. Missy Elliott

Flawlessly bringing both futuristic and jungle vibes during her set, Missy reminded everyone why she should be the next halftime show headliner with her legendary songs that included "Get Ur Freak On" and "Lose Control". One even couldn't contain his/her excitement and exclaimed, "MISSY ELLIOTT HAS TO PERFORM AT THE SUPER BOWL HALF TIME SHOW! STILL CANT GET OVER THAT VMA PERFORMANCE!"
