""I didn't even know who Bad Bunny was. But it sounds like a terrible decision, in my view.""
""I've never heard of him. I don't know who he is... I don't know why they're doing it. It's crazy. And then they blame it on some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment - I think it's absolutely ridiculous.""
""It's carefully thought through," he said. "I'm not sure we've ever selected an artist where we didn't have some blowback or criticism. It's pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching.""
""I'm very happy," he said regarding the halftime show. "And I think everyone is happy about it. Even Fox News.""
Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican singer and rapper, was announced as the Super Bowl LX halftime show headliner on Sept. 28. The announcement prompted right-wing backlash from Republican lawmakers and conservative commentators who criticized the choice. Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Donald Trump publicly expressed unfamiliarity and disapproval of the performer. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell affirmed that the league will not replace Bad Bunny and said the decision was carefully considered, noting that selections often generate criticism when hundreds of millions watch. Bad Bunny responded with humor on Saturday Night Live, appearing pleased and mocking the controversy with edited news clips.
