Bad Bunny at the half-time show of the 2026 Superbowl: a political choice?
Although Trump acts like a dictator, he doesn’t control all broadcasts. The recent scandal involving Jimmy Kimmel, who was fired from ABC for a joke that did not please the head of state and was ultimately ‘only’ suspended, is one example.
When it comes to the Super Bowl, it is the NFL that decides, not the president. This year’s half-time show will therefore go ahead as planned, despite the predictable furious reaction.
This legendary event, where a host of artists have performed over the years to entertain the live audience and a massive TV audience (115 million), also sends out messages.
Choosing Bad Bunny is not only about ensuring a good show because of his fame and bankable potential, but also because he is one of the artists most critical of the current US government’s policies.
The Puerto Rican artist has cancelled all his concert dates in the United States to protect his audience and has only agreed to perform at the Super Bowl as a coup. See you on 8th of February 2026 to find out if this troll is successful.
