Fans are speculating on social media about Ariana Grande's rumored special appearance during The Weeknd's Superbowl Halftime Show performance.

In November, it was announced that <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/pop-stars-before-and-after-fame-britney-spears-the-weeknd-taylor-swift" target="_blank">The Weeknd</a> would be headlining the 2021 <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/rihanna-turns-down-superbowl-2018" target="_blank">Superbowl</a> LV Halftime Show, however, fans now believe <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/everything-you-need-to-know-about-ariana-grande-engagement-ring" target="_blank">Ariana Grande</a> may be joining him on the stage. The rumor began on Twitter, but supporters of the &quot;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/ariana-grande-thank-u-next-2018" target="_blank">Thank U, Next</a>&quot; songstress are running with it in hopes that it could inspire a last minute duet between the two singers.

One user said, &quot;<a dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande">@ArianaGrande</a>&nbsp;is now rumored to be joining&nbsp;<a dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/theweeknd">@theweeknd</a> for the Super Bowl Halftime performance this year for their hit single&nbsp;[&#39;Love Me&nbsp;Harder,&#39;]&nbsp;this is a rumor!&quot; Many like-minded followers&nbsp;responded with their support of the idea.

While no official confirmation has been made, there are several pieces of circumstantial evidence to support the theory.&nbsp;In 2014, the artists teamed up on the single &quot;Love Me Harder&quot; for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack. More recently, The Weeknd (born Abel Tesfaye) was featured on Grande&#39;s song &quot;Off the Table,&quot; which he co-wrote for her new album <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/ariana-grande-34-35-remix-doja-cat-megan-thee-stallion" target="_blank">Positions</a>.

Another reason many find this rumor plausible is the long-standing tradition of special guests at Superbowl Halftime Shows. Often, more than one performer is announced as headliners for the show, and even then, other artists usually join in for a song or two (see: <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/jennifer-lopez-jlo-beauty-launch-new-years-eve-virtual-after-party" target="_blank">Jennifer Lopez</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/j-lo-shakira-super-bowl-halftime-show-2019" target="_blank">Shakira&#39;s 2020 performance</a> featuring <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/bad-bunny-concert-review-2019" target="_blank">Bad Bunny</a> and J Balvin). However, no other artists, headlining or otherwise, have been formally announced. With their history of songs together, Grande seems a top candidate to share the show with the &quot;<a href="http://www.lofficielusa.com/music/the-weeknd-spotify-wrapped-2020" target="_blank">Blinding Lights</a>&quot; singer.

The Superbowl LV kicks off Sunday, February 7 at 6:30 p.m. EST with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/highlights-of-super-bowl-liii-2019" target="_blank">Tom Brady</a> and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defending their&nbsp;home turf against&nbsp;last year&#39;s champions the Kansas City Chiefs.&nbsp;
