""It's about time! I remember when we did ours that even having part of our set in Spanish was a bold move... Acceptance of Spanish-language music as part of the mainstream has come so far from when I started.""
""who represents not only Latin culture but also how important Spanish language music has become on a global scale and how universal it has become, is getting to perform on the biggest stage in the world.""
Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show. Inclusion of Spanish-language elements in Super Bowl performances was once considered bold. Spanish-language music has achieved mainstream global acceptance since earlier years. The booking of Bad Bunny has prompted backlash from right-wing groups and a petition urging replacement with George Strait. Conservative criticism has included targeting by public figures such as Donald Trump. Bad Bunny primarily sings in Spanish and represents Latin culture on a global scale. Shakira headlined the 2020 halftime show and previously invited Bad Bunny to perform a Spanish-language section of that set.
