The NFL announced in September that the Puerto Rican singer and rapper Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show on Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Many fans are excited to see him take the stage, but others have denounced the decision. 

Bad Bunny is one of the most popular artists in the world. He is known for his Spanish lyrics, unique fashion, and big performances. Fans say this is a big moment for the Latin music industry and is a sign of growing diversity in entertainment. 

However, some people, including President Donald Trump, have complained about the choice. They say his music and style do not fit the usual image of a Super Bowl performer. Others argue that the NFL is being too political by choosing him.

According to ABC News, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said that it’s going to be a great show,” which defends the choice of having Bad Bunny perform. Goodell added that the league's goal is to celebrate different cultures and connect with younger fans. 

Other celebrities, like country rap artist Shaboozey, have supported the selection. “There´s no better choice than Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show,” Shaboozey said. Many fans agree, saying that the performance will represent diversity and show how music can bring people together. 

The halftime show is one of the most-watched events in the world, with millions of viewers each year. The performance will give Bad Bunny a chance to bring Latin music to the world and highlight his impact on pop culture.

Even with the controversy, the NFL says the show will go on as planned. Goodell said the league is confident that Bad Bunny will deliver a memorable performance. Whether people support or disagree with the decision, his performance is expected to be one of the most discussed halftime shows in years.
