60th Super Bowl: A half-time show not to everyone’s taste

The headlining artist for the next Super Bowl has finally been revealed. Bad Bunny will finally headline one of the most-watched shows of the NFL's grand finale in February.

This choice is far from unanimous. Many fans are disappointed by the selection, and especially by the fact that Metallica was not chosen. The metal and rock band had expressed an interest in performing on the big stage in a venue they knew very well.

In the end, the NFL's decision-makers are clearly motivated by a desire to reach a younger audience, different from the target clientele found at American football events.

Bad Bunny is about to write a new page in Super Bowl history. The NFL has confirmed that the Puerto Rican icon of Latin rap and reggaeton music will headline the half-time show, scheduled for February 8, 2026 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, San Francisco.

Bad Bunny is now considered one of the most influential artists of his generation. His concerts draw record crowds and his albums dominate the charts worldwide.

The NFL's choice illustrates the openness of the world's most watched sporting event to a growing cultural diversity.

This highly anticipated performance will cap off a busy year for the singer, who recently completed a spectacular residency in Puerto Rico, gathering over half a million spectators. He also played a starring role in the popular film Happy Gilmore 2, caddying for Adam Sandler in the second version released this summer on Netflix.

Once again, the NFL aims to broaden its audience with the halftime show

The Super Bowl halftime show has become a cultural event in itself, watched by hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide.

Bad Bunny's presence on the bill highlights the growing importance of Latin music in the entertainment industry. It also confirms the NFL's desire to broaden its audience by partnering with artists capable of appealing to a new generation of fans.

Between the energy of his performances and his catalog of international hits, there's every reason to believe that Bad Bunny will put on a good show. The event is sure to thrill football fans and music aficionados alike.
