The Super Bowl Halftime Show is the pinnacle of live entertainment, where music’s brightest stars rewrite history in real time. With the 2026 event set for Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Puerto Rican sensation Bad Bunny steps into the spotlight, ready to infuse the biggest halftime stage with his signature Latin trap and reggaeton heat. If halftime shows were touchdowns, this one already feels like a game-winning run: fans worldwide are gearing up for a performance they will not forget.

When the halftime whistle blows, Bad Bunny is ready to turn the biggest football field into the hottest dance floor.

The Puerto Rican superstar, Bad Bunny captured the moment of this confirmation perfectly: "What I am feeling goes beyond myself." Variety reports the rapper-slash-singer had more than himself to consider for this massive flag-planting, saying that "It is for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could step in and score a touchdown… this is dedicated to my people, my culture, and our legacy." Bad Bunny's Super Bowl debut is more than a show—it is a cultural celebration on the world’s largest stage.

The race to headline the 2026 halftime show was no stroll in the end zone. Heavy hitters like Taylor Swift, Adele, Miley Cyrus, and Drake were all in the mix, vying for the ultimate stage. The NFL and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation pulled out all the stops to ensure the perfect pick, following Kendrick Lamar’s widely praised 2025 show. It turns out, picking a halftime performer is much tougher than a fourth-quarter play call, and per Variety's news, Bad Bunny has pulled through.
