Bad Bunny Confirmed Super Bowl LX Headliner

News summary

Bad Bunny will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara in February 2026, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, reaffirming the selection as carefully considered and praising the Puerto Rican star as a unifying entertainer. The booking has drawn sharp criticism from President Donald Trump and other conservative figures and spawned a viral petition specifically urging the NFL to replace Bad Bunny with George Strait. Turning Point USA announced plans for an alternative “All American Halftime Show,” and some administration allies suggested ICE could be present at the event. Prominent musicians — including Shakira, Jennifer Lopez and Dropkick Murphys’ Ken Casey — have publicly defended Bad Bunny and argued that Spanish-language music is mainstream. The NFL and supporters say blowback is routine, are standing by the choice, and the dispute has crystallized broader cultural and immigration tensions ahead of Super Bowl 60.
