Miley Cyrus will also be a part of the day’s festivities. Cyrus will perform exclusively for the 7,500 health care professionals that the NFL invited to watch the game in person in Tampa during the TikTok Tailgate pre-show.

“I’ll be there for TIKTOK TAILGATE!!! I can’t wait to put on a show for the NFL’s honored guests before the game,” Cyrus posted onInstagram.

As for any cameos or duets during the halftime performance with The Weeknd, no word yet.
