Donald Trump is seeing one of his more famous supporters go on the offensive when it comes to the Super Bowl half time show. Bad Bunny was recently announced as the performer, and the reactions across the nation have been controversial.
However, one person has taken it to the next level.

The Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show doesn’t interest political commentator Megyn Kelly:
Earlier this week, the NFL announced that Grammy Award winner Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show at Levi’s Stadium on February 8, 2026. There was some chatter about Adele or Taylor Swift rocking the stage in Santa Clara, but Roc Nation and the NFL ultimately believe Bad Bunny is the best choice for this season.
“Bad Bunny represents the global energy and cultural vibrancy that define today’s music scene. As one of the most influential and streamed artists in the world, his unique ability to bridge genres, languages, and audiences makes him an exciting and natural choice to take the Super Bowl halftime stage,” said Jon Baker, the SVP of Global Event Production for the NFL. “We know his dynamic performances, creative vision, and deep connection with fans will deliver the kind of unforgettable experience we’ve come to expect from this iconic cultural moment.”

Oliver Schusser, the vice president of Apple Music and Beats, promised NFL fans that Bad Bunny’s halftime show will be unforgettable.
On a recent episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the former FOX News personality made it clear that she’ll be boycotting Bad Bunny’s show.
Kelly claims Bad Bunny “hates the United States.” That’s why she won’t watch his performance.
“It’s a middle finger to MAGA and conservatives in this country,” Kelly said, via the Daily Beast. “He hates the United States so much he won’t come here, because he’s worried about ICE raiding his concert. I mean, who are we going to have next year? P. Diddy? I look forward to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his comeback tour.”
Around the same time Kelly fired off this take, former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick made it clear that she’s also furious about this halftime show.

“Oh fun,” Patrick wrote on X. “No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America’s highest rated television events of the year… not just for sports.”
It’ll be fascinating to see what the ratings are like for Bad Bunny’s performance. Last season, 133.5 million viewers tuned in for Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show.
