Bad Bunny Vows Puerto Rican Showcase for Super Bowl Halftime as NFL Rebuffs Criticism

The NFL says the choice targets growth with Latino fans worldwide.

Overview

  • At a Thursday news conference, Bad Bunny promised a culture-forward, dance-focused show and declined to reveal potential guests.
  • The set is widely expected to be performed largely or entirely in Spanish, which would be a first for a solo Super Bowl halftime headliner.
  • Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the booking, calling Bad Bunny one of the world's great artists and saying the platform should unite people.
  • NFL security chief Cathy Lanier said there are no planned ICE or immigration enforcement operations connected to the game or related events.
  • Turning Point USA will stream an alternative “All-American Halftime Show” led by Kid Rock, while President Trump has criticized the lineup and says he will skip the game.
