During halftime of the Green Bay Packers vs. Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas—with the Cowboys ahead 16-13—the NFL and Apple Music shared a major announcement. On Sunday, February 8, Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show.
The 31-year-old artist is clearly at the top of his game. Earlier this year, he released his acclaimed sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and this summer his “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” residency injected hundreds of millions into Puerto Rico’s economy. He also co-starred with Adam Sandler and Travis Kelce in Happy Gilmore 2, and next week he’ll host the Season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live.
The news ends months of intense speculation. Reports suggested Taylor Swift walked away from talks after the NFL declined her terms, while names like Adele, Miley Cyrus, Jay-Z, Metallica, and BTS also appeared on various shortlists.
Bad Bunny has big shoes to fill after Kendrick Lamar’s Emmy-winning halftime show at Super Bowl LIX. Lamar brought out SZA, Samuel L. Jackson, and Serena Williams for performances of tracks like “GNX,” “Squabble Up,” “Humble,” “Luther,” and “Not Like Us.” From Charm La’Donna’s stunning choreography to Lamar’s Celine denim outfit, it was an unforgettable night—but we’re already looking forward to what Benito has in store for 2026.
