Overview

  • The NFL confirmed Bad Bunny as the Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime headliner for February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, and no cancellation has been announced.
  • Hosting Saturday Night Live on October 4, he addressed backlash with humor and closed his monologue in Spanish, saying, “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn it.”
  • He appeared in multiple sketches, including a culturally resonant homage to El Chavo del 8, costumed as the character Quico.
  • Conservative and MAGA-aligned figures escalated criticism, with Corey Lewandowski warning that undocumented attendees would be deported and Kristi Noem asserting ICE would be present.
  • Government-linked statements about ICE at the Super Bowl produced conflicting accounts, and viral claims that Trump allies had canceled the performance were refuted by ongoing scheduling and lack of official confirmation.
