The internet’s been going wild with rumors that Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show has been canceled — but here’s the truth: it’s still happening!
The Puerto Rican superstar is officially set to headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in California, according to the NFL’s announcement.
But shortly after the big reveal, some political backlash kicked in — and that’s where the cancellation rumors began.
Old Comments Stir Up New Drama
After the announcement, an old interview with Bad Bunny resurfaced. In it, he talked to i-D Magazine about how U.S. immigration policies once influenced his tour decisions, even mentioning ICE by name.
That clip quickly caught the attention of some conservative political figures, including Corey Lewandowski, a former Trump campaign manager, who strongly criticized the artist on a talk show. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem also weighed in, adding more heat to the debate.
The Internet Explodes With False Claims
As political chatter grew louder, social media went into overdrive. Posts began circulating, claiming the halftime show had been “officially canceled.” Some even said Bad Bunny had been dropped because of “MAGA outrage.”
However, none of those claims is true. Outlets like Variety confirmed that the performance is still scheduled to take place. Neither the NFL nor Bad Bunny’s team has made any announcement about a cancellation or change in plans.
So, fans can relax — Bad Bunny is still performing at the Super Bowl, and the show is very much happening. Expect fireworks, beats, and one of the biggest performances of 2026, just as planned.
