One side protests while the other joins in, turning the halftime show into a full cultural moment.
The Super Bowl LX halftime show is set for February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, with Bad Bunny as the headliner. The choice brought plenty of star power but also led to public outcry.
A petition on Change.org argues the halftime show should “honor American culture and remain family-friendly” and says country star George Strait would be a better fit.
As of mid-October, the petition had alreadygathered tens of thousands of signatures and now sits near 100,000.
The Super Bowl halftime show is more than music. It is a cultural stage and a TV event watched by millions. If the performer divides fans, the conversation moves from the game to the show.
NFL watchers will pay attention to how the league or show producers respond. The petition could gain even more attention or spark alternative events if they stay silent.
