Donald Trump has made sure to stay up to date with the NFL during this presidential term. It has been that way ever since he took office back in January. Now that the league has announced Bad Bunny as their Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show performer, the 47th President wanted to share his thoughts.

As expected, President Donald Trump offered his thoughts on Super Bowl 60’s halftime show:
The NFL announced last week that Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show at Levi’s Stadium on February 8, 2026. Initially, there were rumors that either Adele or Taylor Swift would perform in Santa Clara, but the league ultimately went with the Grammy Award winner from Puerto Rico.
“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.”

Over the past week, Megyn Kelly and countless other commentators have ripped the NFL for giving Bad Bunny such a big platform.
While on NewsMax this Tuesday, the president of the United States was asked about Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl halftime show.
Trump said it’s “absolutely ridiculous” that Bad Bunny will be in the spotlight on Super Bowl Sunday.
“I don’t know why they’re doing it,” Trump said on NewsMax. “I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”
As of this Tuesday night, there’s a petition with the title “Replace bad bunny in the superbowl halftime show” that’s gaining traction.
“I want to be clear I do not condone any racism or hateful behavior connected to this petition. I have no issue with Bad Bunny as an artist he is talented and successful. My concern is simply about the Super Bowl halftime show needing an act with broader appeal across genres and audiences rather than leaning into one lane that may not connect with the majority of viewers. The Super Bowl Halftime Show is one of the most iconic events in entertainment, drawing millions of viewers from all around the globe. For decades, it has been a platform to celebrate music that unites people, offering a shared experience that brings together fans from different backgrounds, tastes, and cultures,” the petition reads.
