Bad Bunny has just been announced as the Super Bowl LX's Halftime Show performer, and the internet has mixed opinions about it. The upcoming Super Bowl will be hosted at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026. However, this is not the first time the Puerto Rican singer and rapper has performed on the Super Bowl stage.
Five years ago, Bad Bunny was a guest performer when Shakira and Beyoncé took the 2020 Super Bowl stage. Now, he will be performing his own set next year.
This is what Benito had to say. He wrote in a statement:
"What I'm feeling goes beyond myself... It's for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL."
As mentioned, people are divided about the decision. Have a look below at what they have to say.
