Bad Bunny has been announced as the 2026 NFL Super Bowl halftime performer, as decided with the help of Jay-Z's label, Roc Nation.

The Latin superstar has been crowned the most-listened artist on Spotify in 2021 and 2022, whilst also being 2nd in 2023 and 3rd in 2024.

He is an icon for Spanish-speaking music; he just ended his legendary Puerto Rican residency, where he performed over 31 shows, which generated over $200 million (£148 million) for the local economy.

The announcement is pretty legendary, with the star previously missing the US out on his world tour, he being very vocal about the mass deportation taking place by the US government largely against Spanish people.

The show will be sure to make a political point, much like the divisive show of Kendrick Lamar earlier this year.There have been mixed reviews from the internet, with most excited.

One fan commented: “Can’t wait for the NFL to turn into a full reggaeton concert, defenses gon be doing salsa instead of tackling.”

Whilst another said: “This literally makes no sense because we’re not even gonna know what he’s saying. We’re gonna need a live English translator.”

The ‘Tití Me Preguntó’ singer has long been regarded as one of the biggest and most important artists by Spanish-speakers, but who is?

Who is Bad Bunny?

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Ocasio, was announced on September 29th as the Super Bowl’s musical guest.

He is an icon, known for his fashion sense, making reggaeton mainstream, and as the ‘King of Latin Trap’.The superstar has won 3 Grammys as well as 12 Latin Grammys.

Benito has even starred in films such as Bullet Train and Caught Stealing, showing his range as a celebrity.

With tracks like ‘Me Porto Bonito’ and ‘Ojitos Lindos’, he has raked in over 1 billion streams on each of his top 24 tracks on Spotify!
