Super Bowl LX is almost here and fans can’t wait to experience a “baile inolvidable” with Bad Bunny.
Following his own unforgettable and historic night at the 68th Grammys, where he took home three awards, including album of the year for “DeBí TiRaR Más FOToS,” the singer will take the Super Bowl LX halftime stage for the first time on Feb. 8.
The “DtMF” singer, who was born and raised in Puerto Rico, will mark a turning point for the Spanish-language genre and Puerto Rican culture, because he will be one of the first artists to perform in Spanish on one of the country’s biggest stages.

Bad Bunny’s most recent performances, from which he may draw inspiration, were at his sold-out residency, No Me Quiero Ir De Aqui, held in Puerto Rico last year.
What are some of Bad Bunny’s most popular songs?
Bad Bunny has taken Latin music and then the larger music industry by storm with a run stretching six albums featuring his signature soulful and fun melodies with Spanish language lyrics. His popularity has only grown with the release of “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” in 2025, “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana” in 2023 and “Un Verano Sin Ti” in 2022.
Some of his songs that many may know are “Tití Me Pregunto” from “Un Verano Sin Ti,” which earned him a Grammy for best música urbana album, “DTMF” and “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” from “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” which have both accumulated over 1 billion streams on Spotify. “NUEVAYoL” and “EoO” are also fan favorites from his most recent album.
Additionally, the singer has collaborated with many artists in the past. “I Like It,” by Cardi B featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin, which earned Bad Bunny his first Grammy nomination for record of the year in 2019. “La Canción” with J Balvin is also beloved.

What is the controversy around Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show?
Reactions to Bad Bunny as this year’s Super Bowl headliner have ranged from celebratory to cultural debate.
While many fans can’t wait to see the singer perform, some criticized the choice, calling out the Puerto Rican native’s Spanish songs, performances and his vocal support of immigrants in the United States.
Following Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl headliner announcement, conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA announced a counterprogram halftime show, dubbed “The All-American Halftime Show,” featuring Kid Rock. The show will be streamed online during the official Super Bowl LX halftime show, according to Turning Point USA.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the backlash in an October 2025 press conference and defended the league’s selection of the singer.
“He’s one of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world,” Goodell said at the time, adding that the decision had been “carefully thought through.”
“I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback or criticism,” he added. “It’s pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching.”
