Overview

  • Bad Bunny remains confirmed to headline the Feb. 8, 2026 Super Bowl halftime show at Levi’s Stadium, which is expected to be performed in Spanish.
  • Calls from MAGA-aligned critics to cancel the performance grew after he was seen remaining seated during 'God Bless America' at a Yankees game.
  • President Trump labeled the NFL’s choice 'absolutely ridiculous' as other conservatives objected to the Spanish-language set and his political stances.
  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE will be 'all over' the Super Bowl as part of enforcement efforts, though no detailed public plan has been outlined.
  • Turning Point USA is organizing an 'All-American Halftime Show' counterprogram, while Bad Bunny responded on SNL by framing his booking as a win for Latinos.
