Bad Bunny has been announced as the headliner for the Super Bowl 60 halftime show, a revelation that sparked a mix of reactions on social media. Apple Music made the announcement during Sunday Night Football, according to NBC News. The Puerto Rican superstar expressed his gratitude, emphasizing that his performance is not just about him but also about his people, culture, and history. In a statement released by the NFL, Bad Bunny said, “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself. It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history.” He added, “Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL,” which roughly translates to “Go and tell your grandma that we will be the Super Bowl Halftime Show.”
The artist, who was the third‑most‑played act on Spotify in 2024, recently concluded a 30‑show, three‑month residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and is now preparing for an international tour. However, some social‑media users have raised concerns about his upcoming Super Bowl performance, citing his decision not to schedule any U.S. dates on his *Debí Tirar Más Fotos* tour. In a previous interview, Bad Bunny described performing in the United States as “unnecessary” and voiced worries about the presence of ICE agents at his concerts.
Despite the controversy, many fans expressed excitement and joy about the upcoming show, which is expected to become one of the biggest cultural moments in the United States. The announcement has ignited a lively discussion online, with some users defending the artist’s choices and others criticizing him for what they perceive as hypocrisy. The Super Bowl halftime show has a history of sparking conversation and debate; last year’s performance by Kendrick Lamar serves as a notable example. Given Bad Bunny’s massive following and the significance of the event, his performance is likely to be highly anticipated and closely watched.
As Super Bowl 60 approaches, fans and critics alike will be waiting to see how the halftime show unfolds and what message Bad Bunny will convey to his audience.
