Overview

  • The NFL has confirmed Bad Bunny as the Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime headliner on Feb. 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium, making him the first solo Latin male to lead the show.
  • Corey Lewandowski, a Department of Homeland Security adviser, said on The Benny Show that ICE agents will be at the Super Bowl and pledged to apprehend and deport people in the U.S. illegally.
  • A DHS spokesperson reiterated that there is no safe haven for violent criminal illegal aliens, and no detailed enforcement plan from ICE or the NFL has been publicly confirmed.
  • Critics including Danica Patrick objected to a Spanish-language performance, while many users reminded audiences that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens and mocked calls for ICE targeting; a rumored Jerry Jones petition to remove Bad Bunny was reported as false.
  • Industry analysts describe the booking as part of the NFL’s push to grow Latino audiences, citing the league’s Por La Cultura efforts and recent international games in Brazil, Mexico and Spain.
