The world is about to dance, but not everyone is cheering.

While the announcement has electrified his massive global fanbase, it has also sparked a wave of political debate and legal scrutiny.
Super Bowl LX Bad Bunny Halftime Show Lineup
According to Entertainment Weekly, the Grammy-winning rapper teased his performance with a clip featuring the track 'BAILE INoLVIDABLE' from his 2025 chart-topping album. Joining the star-studded day are pop-punk legends Green Day, who will kick off the pregame opening ceremony. Charlie Puth will handle the national anthem, while Brandi Carlile and Coco Jones are also slated for pregame performances.
Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has seen a meteoric rise, with four No. 1 albums and a burgeoning acting career. Despite his success, he faces a $16 million lawsuit just weeks before his big stage appearance.
Controversy and the Trump Critique
The choice of headliner hasn't sat well with everyone. Donald Trump and his allies have publicly criticized the NFL for selecting a Spanish-speaking artist, leading to an online petition for his replacement. However, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell remains steadfast, expressing total confidence in the show's success.

In a move toward inclusivity, the show will also feature a multilingual signing program led by deaf performer Celimar Rivera Cosme, marking another first for the championship's history.
