Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show. Inclusion of Spanish-language elements in Super Bowl performances was once considered bold. Spanish-language music has achieved mainstream global acceptance since earlier years. The booking of Bad Bunny has prompted backlash from right-wing groups and a petition urging replacement with George Strait. Conservative criticism has included targeting by public figures such as Donald Trump. Bad Bunny primarily sings in Spanish and represents Latin culture on a global scale. Shakira headlined the 2020 halftime show and previously invited Bad Bunny to perform a Spanish-language section of that set.
""It's about time! I remember when we did ours that even having part of our set in Spanish was a bold move... Acceptance of Spanish-language music as part of the mainstream has come so far from when I started.""
""who represents not only Latin culture but also how important Spanish language music has become on a global scale and how universal it has become, is getting to perform on the biggest stage in the world.""
