Overview
- Bad Bunny remains the confirmed Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime headliner for Feb. 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium, produced with Roc Nation.
- A Change.org petition attributed to the likely pseudonymous “Kar Shell” has drawn roughly 54,000–55,000 signatures urging the NFL to swap in George Strait, citing calls for a family‑friendly show that honors “American culture.”
- Turning Point USA says it will stage an alternative “All American” halftime show during Bad Bunny’s set, though it has not announced performers or viewing details.
- Some critics have tied the booking to immigration politics, with Corey Lewandowski saying ICE will be on the ground at the game, while Bad Bunny has noted past concerns about enforcement targeting fans; Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birth.
- Industry figures including Shakira and Jennifer Lopez have voiced support, and outlets note Bad Bunny’s far greater streaming reach than Strait, with estimates around 81 million versus about 8 million monthly Spotify listeners.
