"What I'm feeling goes beyond myself," Bad Bunny said in an NFL statement, paying tribute to the greats of Latin music that never got the opportunity, as announced on "Sunday Night Football" by Apple Music.

Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show on Feb. 8, and Green Day will also perform at the game. Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, reached international success with hits including "I Like It," "Dakiti," and "Tití Me Preguntó," the latter ranking among Spotify's most-streamed tracks in 2022. Bad Bunny framed the halftime appearance as an homage to Latin music pioneers and a celebration of his people, culture, and history. President Donald Trump said he would skip the Super Bowl, calling the choice "a terrible choice" that "sows hatred." Bad Bunny grew up in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, in a lower middle-class household.
