Sn1 on tert-butyl-bromide

I was wondering if it would be possible to make an experiment... uhmmm... adding tert-butyl-bromide to aniline... does it react?

I think they can react since t-butyl bromide is a tertiary alkyl halides and will form carbocation (cation t-butyl) with + formal charge. Also, aniline is one of benzene group which accept aromatic electrophile substitution. so??
