Overview
- The NFL and Roc Nation have named Bad Bunny the Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime headliner for Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
- In a Newsmax interview, President Donald Trump said he had never heard of Bad Bunny and called the selection "crazy" and "absolutely ridiculous."
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE would be "all over" the Super Bowl and pledged to enforce the law, while DHS adviser Corey Lewandowski warned of enforcement at the event.
- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she was not aware of a tangible plan for an ICE operation at the game, while reaffirming that immigration laws would be enforced.
- Hosting Saturday Night Live, Bad Bunny addressed critics in a bilingual monologue and joked that non-Spanish speakers have "four months to learn" before his halftime performance; the Puerto Rico–born artist is a U.S. citizen who has previously skipped mainland tour dates citing concerns about ICE near concerts.
