During the Sunday Night Football game between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers, the NFL revealed the headlining act for the Super Bowl LX halftime show.
The “King of Latin Trap,” Bad Bunny, will have the honors of performing on the world’s biggest stage during the 2026 Super Bowl. Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is considered the best Latin rapper of all time.
The Grammy Award-winning artist is credited with bringing Spanish music to the mainstream market. His Puerto Rica roots are at the center of his style, lyrics, and success.
Jon Barker, SVP of Global Event Production for the NFL, explained their decision to bring Bad Bunny to the Super Bowl stage, saying that he “represents the global energy and cultural vibrancy that define today’s music scene. As one of the most influential and streamed artists in the world, his unique ability to bridge genres, languages, and audiences makes him an exciting and natural choice to take the Super Bowl halftime stage,” Barker said in a statement.
“We know his dynamic performances, creative vision, and deep connection with fans will deliver the kind of unforgettable experience we’ve come to expect from this iconic cultural moment.”
Bad Bunny responded to the announcement, saying “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. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”
This isn’t the first time Bad Bunny will have performed the iconic show. In 2020, he appeared as a special guest of headliners Shakira and Jennifer Lopez.
Super Bowl LX will be held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026.
Other Acts Who Have Performed During The Super Bowl
2026 will mark 23 years since the last country artist had the honor of headlining the Super Bowl halftime show. Shania Twain is the most recent country act to perform at The Big Game. In 2003, Twain shared the gig with No Doubt and Sting.
Rapper Kendrick Lamar, singer-songwriter Usher, pop icon The Weeknd, and pop band Maroon 5 are among some of the halftime headliners of the last decade.
While few country stars have entertained during halftime, several have kicked off the Big Game with the national anthem. In 2024, Reba McEntire did the honors, and in 2023, Chris Stapleton brought grown men to tears with his powerful rendition.
It hasn’t yet been announced who will be singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” for the 2026 Super Bowl.
