Overview
- Bad Bunny is set to headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show on Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium under the NFL’s partnership with Roc Nation.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson called the choice a “terrible decision” and suggested Lee Greenwood, while President Trump labeled it “absolutely ridiculous” and said he had never heard of the artist.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE agents will be “all over” the Super Bowl to enforce immigration laws, echoing earlier signals from Corey Lewandowski.
- TMZ and other outlets reported Bad Bunny remained seated during “God Bless America” at a Yankees–Blue Jays playoff game, a moment that fueled partisan criticism and support.
- Bad Bunny previously said he would skip U.S. tour dates over concerns about ICE raids and addressed the backlash in a bilingual SNL monologue; he is a U.S. citizen born in Puerto Rico, a fact noted in coverage as the NFL declines substantive comment and analysts flag reputational risk.
