The NFL's decision to feature Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny as the major act for the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show has caused a heated dispute, splitting admirers of his music and conservative detractors who perceive it as a political move.

The Super Bowl LX will take place on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as announced on September 29, 2025.

While Bad Bunny's global popularity makes him an appropriate choice for Super Bowl Halftime, his strong views on immigration, criticism of former President Donald Trump, and Spanish-language songs have sparked reaction among MAGA fans.

MAGA outrage

MAGA fans are disappointed by Bad Bunny's pick, which they see as an affront to American patriotism and traditional ideals. The opposition is centered on a few main points: his Spanish-language songs, gender-fluid wardrobe choices, and open condemnation of Trump-era policies.

On X, users like Robby Starbuck have slammed the NFL for choosing an artist that “hates Trump and MAGA” and pointing out that the majority of Bad Bunny's music is not in English. Starbucks stated that this choice was intended to divide rather than unite supporters behind American football.

Earlier, user Kentucky Girl advocated for a boycott, saying, “We don't have to just sit back and helplessly watch as our children are exposed to this grossly inappropriate content.”

“No songs in English should be banned at one of America’s top-rated TV events,” Danica Patrick said in a post on X.
