The 2025 NFL season may still be in its infancy, but all eyes will be on Super Bowl 60 when bad Bunny is set to perform.
The NFL and Apple announced during the Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers Week 4 matchup that the award-winning puerto Rican rapper and singer was tapped as the halftime show performer for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show.
Bad bunny will hope to follow up a stellar halftime show performance by Kendrick Lamar in Super Bowl 59, which was met with critical acclaim. The rapper’s performance turned out to be the most-watched halftime show in history.
Prior to the declaration of Bad bunny, Roger Goodell played coy with the rumor that Taylor Swift, the global superstar and fiancée of kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, would be the halftime performer.
“We would always love to have Taylor play,” Goodell said. “she is a special, special talent. And obviously she would be welcome at any time.”
