It's pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching. We're confident it's going to be a great show, Goodell said. He understands the platform that he's on, and I think it's going to be exciting and a united moment."

Roger Goodell reaffirmed that the NFL will not drop Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime performer, citing the decision as carefully considered and reflecting the artist's immense popularity. The announcement followed criticism from Donald Trump and some supporters, and provoked worldwide attention and increased music streams.
