Bad Bunny makes history with 2026 Super Bowl Halftime show
The news was confirmed by Bad Bunny himself via a Facebook post on September 29, 2025, instantly sending his massive global fanbase into celebration. The announcement also places him in the prestigious line of world-class performers who have graced the Super Bowl stage, including Beyoncé, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, and Usher.
Born on March 10, 1994, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny has become a global superstar with his unique fusion of reggaeton, Latin trap, and urban sounds. Over the years, he has won multiple Grammy Awards, been crowned Apple Music’s Artist of the Year, and continues to dominate international music charts with his versatile artistry. His songs often blend socially conscious lyrics with infectious beats, making him a powerful voice both musically and culturally.
Bad Bunny’s rise to fame began with viral hits on SoundCloud before skyrocketing into the mainstream with collaborations such as “I Like It” alongside Cardi B and J Balvin, and “Mía” with Drake. Since then, he has sold out stadiums worldwide and broken streaming records across multiple platforms. His upcoming Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour will include a performance in Warsaw, Poland, on July 14, 2026, showing his immense global reach even beyond the Super Bowl stage.
Outside his professional life, Bad Bunny’s relationships have often drawn media attention. He was previously in a long-term relationship with model and jewelry designer Gabriela Berlingeri, with whom he shared a close personal and creative bond. Gabriela even provided background vocals on tracks like “En Casita” and “El Apagón.” Following their split in 2022, he was later linked with reality star and model Kendall Jenner in 2023, a romance that drew widespread media attention due to their joint appearances at high-profile events.
Now, with the Super Bowl stage set as his next spotlight, industry watchers expect Bad Bunny to deliver a performance that will blend culture, music, and spectacle, potentially setting new records for halftime show viewership. Fans are already buzzing with speculation about whether he might bring surprise guest artists or pay homage to Puerto Rican culture in his act.
As February 2026 approaches, the excitement continues to build, with many predicting that Bad Bunny’s halftime performance could go down in history as one of the most memorable ever staged at the Super Bowl.
