LOS ANGELES (AP) — Multiple Grammy Award-winning singer Adele says she turned down an offer to perform at the 2017 Super Bowl halftime show.
The British singer told an audience Saturday at her Los Angeles concert that she was asked to perform at the event.
"First of all, I'm not doing the Super Bowl," Adele says from the stage in a video posted on Twitter. "I mean, come on, that show is not about music. And I don't really— I can't dance or anything like that. They were very kind, they did ask me, but I did say no."
She adds: "I'm sorry, but maybe next time."
NFL and Pepsi said Monday they have had several conversations with artists about performing at the Super Bowl, but said they haven't formally asked Adele or any other musicians to appear.
In a statement, NFL and Pepsi said "we have not at this point extended a formal offer to Adele or anyone else."
NFL and Pepsi didn't respond to an email asking if Adele was one of the artists they approached about possibly performing at the Feb. 5, 2017 event in Houston.
A representative for Adele had no comment Monday. Performers at previous halftime shows have included Beyonce, Madonna, the Rolling Stones and Prince.
