Bad Bunny has hinted at some details about his highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime show this weekend.
The Puerto Rican rapper will take to the stage at the Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show as the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks go head-to-head at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday (February 8).
The announcement that Bad Bunny would be performing has been controversial at best, leading Turning Point USA to create its own alternative halftime show, featuring the likes of Kid Rock and Gabby Barrett.
In the run-up to the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny has been talking more and more about the event. During an appearance at the pregame press conference with Apple Music on February 5, he shared some information about what fans can expect to experience.

When hosts Ebro Darden and Zane Lowe asked if he's going to have anyone up on stage with him, the 31-year-old star replied: “You know that’s something I’m not going to tell you. I don’t know why you ask that.”
However, as far as what viewers can expect, according to Bad Bunny, it’ll be a ‘huge party’.
“I just want to have fun, it’s going to be a huge party … I don’t want to give spoilers, people only need to worry about dancing,” he explained. “They don’t even have to learn Spanish, it’s better if they dance but there’s no better dance that comes from the heart. … Of course, choose your team at the game.”
Bad Bunny went on to share that the aftermath of the Grammys, where he took home three awards, has ‘been a lot’.
He added: “Of course, there is a lot of gratitude. It’s how I’ve been feeling this whole year with the album. The biggest feeling is being grateful. I am taking things one day at a time and just living.”
The rapper went on to say he’s ‘going to have fun’ with ‘the crew, the people’ at the Super Bowl.
“That’s what I’m trying to focus on. Enjoy the moment, what is happening,” Bad Bunny said.
But while he’s stoked and so are many people online, there has been some backlash.
“A lot of the MAGA folks apparently are very upset with the NFL. But they’re upset all the time,” Whoopi Goldberg said on The View in September 2025.
She added: “Another great American performer is going to be performing. I don’t see the problem. Because y’all do remember Puerto Rico is part of the United States.”
Even the president of the United States hopped on the train when the news broke that Bad Bunny, who usually performs in Spanish, would be headlining the halftime show.
“I’ve never heard of him,” Donald Trump said in an interview with Newsmax in October 2025. “I don’t know who he is. I don’t know why they’re doing it. It’s, like, crazy.”
Bad Bunny is actually very well known on the music scene right now and was one of the most-played artists on Spotify last year, racking up a whopping 19.8 billion streams.
