NFL Stands by Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime as TPUSA Plans Rival Show, ICE Talk Disputed

Conservative leaders escalate pushback via ICE enforcement rhetoric plus a rival halftime broadcast.

Overview

  • Super Bowl LX halftime headliner remains Bad Bunny for Feb. 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium, per the NFL’s late‑September announcement.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson called the pick a “terrible decision” and floated Lee Greenwood as a preferred option.
  • President Donald Trump labeled the choice “absolutely ridiculous” in a Newsmax interview, saying he had never heard of Bad Bunny.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE would be “all over” the game, but the White House press secretary said there is no “tangible plan” for an ICE operation.
  • Turning Point USA unveiled an “All American Halftime Show” as counter‑programming, as a photo of Bad Bunny seated during “God Bless America” at a Yankees playoff game drew fresh scrutiny.
