"Bad Bunny's highly anticipated halftime show comes as the artist reaches new heights of his skyrocketing career. Bad Bunny was the most-streamed artist on Spotify in 2025, racking up 19.8 billion streams; he also claimed that title in 2020, 2021 and 2022. He took home three Grammy awards last week, and became the first artist to win Album of the Year for an entirely Spanish-language record."
""It's a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred," President Trump told the New York Post last month, referencing the NFL's selection of Bad Bunny and storied Bay Area band Green Day, who will play the Super Bowl opening ceremony. Green Day have also been outspoken critics of the Trump administration. At a Super Bowl LX press conference on Feb. 2, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stood by the NFL's choice, saying Bad Bunny is "one of the great artists in the world.""
Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show on Feb. 8 and promised "a huge party." Speculation surrounds whether he will use the platform to denounce the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies. At the Grammys he said, "Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens and we are Americans," drawing applause and visible "ICE OUT" pins. Bad Bunny led Spotify streams in 2025 with 19.8 billion plays and won three Grammys, including Album of the Year for a Spanish-language record. President Trump criticized the NFL's choice, while Commissioner Roger Goodell defended Bad Bunny as a unifying artist.
