Luke Combs confirms desire to perform at a Super Bowl one day

The year is 1994. The Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills are facing each other in Super Bowl XXVIII. Clint Black, Travis Tritt, Tanya Tucker, and The Judds are performing the Super Bowl halftime show.

Since then, no country music artist(s) has performed at halftime of the biggest sporting event in the United States. If there’s a shortlist of country music artists who could be candidates to do it, Luke Combs would most certainly be on it. Would Combs accept the offer if it came from the NFL? Eli Manning asked the question during the Monday Night Football “ManningCast.”

“That’s a big question,” Combs said. “I’d like to perform at the Super Bowl, and the Panthers win the same Super Bowl. Why not both, Eli? Why not both?”

Luke Combs is a massive Carolina Panthers fan

Combs, a native of Huntersville, N.C., is a lifelong Carolina Panthers fan. The Panthers are facing the San Francisco 49ers Monday, so Combs decided to hop on with Eli and Peyton Manning.

Notably, the Panthers are one of 12 franchises without a Super Bowl victory. They have made it twice, coming up short to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVIII and again to the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50.

Combs, a six-time CMA Awards winner, would love to perform at a Super Bowl where the Panthers win it. Carolina is trending in the right direction as a franchise, a win against the 49ers away from taking first place in the NFC South away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Combs’ love for the Panthers is unwavering. He revealed to the Mannings when it first came about.

“That was six years old when the Panthers became a team,” Combs said. “I was living in Charlotte at the time. It’s in the blood, I guess, for me really.”
