Bad Bunny Remains 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Headliner as Right Plans Rival Show and ICE Talk Grows

Backlash now focuses on a TPUSA alternative alongside unresolved questions about ICE presence.

Overview

  • The NFL’s selection of Bad Bunny for Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium stands, with the performance expected to be the event’s first primarily in Spanish.
  • President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized the choice, framing objections around language and the artist’s past immigration stances.
  • Turning Point USA says it will stage an online “All-American Halftime Show,” though it has not confirmed performers and viral posters naming Kid Rock and others remain unverified.
  • Homeland Security figures, including Secretary Kristi Noem, said ICE will be present at the game, while specific public enforcement plans have not been detailed.
  • Industry data from Luminate shows Bad Bunny’s U.S. on-demand streams rose about 26% in the days after the halftime announcement.
