NFL confirms Bad Bunny will not be replaced for halftime show

The NFL has confirmed Bad Bunny as the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show in April 2026, despite criticism from the Trump administration. The Puerto Rican artist, known for performing in Spanish and speaking out against ICE raids, has faced backlash for his selection. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the decision, emphasizing Bad Bunny’s global popularity and the importance of entertainment value. While additional talent may be involved, surprise guests are common in Super Bowl halftime shows. Bad Bunny expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and humorously addressed the criticism during a recent appearance on Saturday Night Live.
