NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell dismissed criticism over naming Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl LX halftime performer. He called the Puerto Rican artist one of the world’s most popular entertainers and said the league expects some backlash with every selection.
Critics, especially conservative voices online, quickly labeled Bad Bunny “anti-American.” Former President Donald Trump also questioned the choice, saying he didn’t know who the singer was and called the decision “absolutely ridiculous.”
Bad Bunny, 31, has won three Grammys and built a global fanbase through music, WWE appearances, and roles in films like “Happy Gilmore 2.” The Super Bowl will take place on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
