The NFL who are partnering with Apple Music, and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation just dropped some HUGE news!
Bad Bunny is set to headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb 8.
The Puerto Rican superstar’s selection comes amid a career-defining run. He’s fresh off a historic Puerto Rico residency this month that drew more than half a million fans and is leading all nominees at the Latin Grammys in November.
He has become one of the world’s most-streamed artists with albums such as “Un Verano Sin Ti,” an all-Spanish-language LP.

“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” Bad Bunny stated. “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.”
Though spare a moment for the Swifties as they come to terms with the news that their queen won’t be the 2026 halftime performer, despite months of speculation.
According to sources, she was turned down after requesting payment for the performance.
An insider claimed that “she wanted a deal that reflected her value,” and “without that, she wasn’t going to move forward.”
And Adele? She was on the NFL’s shortlist too, but she pulled out, citing safety fears after Charlie Kirk’s death.
According to reports, “she is petrified after what happened to Kirk and is living like a hermit in Los Angeles, convinced stadium-scale performances put her life in danger”.
Bad Bunny is taking over from Kendrick Lamar, who headlined the 2025 event.
