According to Entertainment Tonight, Taylor Swift will perform during halftime of the College Football Playoff national championship game on Jan. 8 in Atlanta. The website reported that ESPN booked Swift.

However, ESPN denied the Entertainment Tonight report.

In a statement to Paste BN Sports, ESPN said: "Reports of Taylor Swift performing at the College Football Playoff National Championship are inaccurate. We are pleased that Taylor chose ESPN and ABC's college football coverage as a platform to debut her new song "...Ready For It?" However, there is nothing more to announce at this time."

On Saturday, during the Alabama vs. Florida State game, Swift, 27, released a small sample of the second song off her upcoming Reputation album, "...Ready for It?"
