Puerto Rican rapper and singer Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known by his stage name Bad Bunny, has been announced as the 60th Super Bowl’s highly anticipated headliner after much speculation. Previously, Taylor Swift and Adele were mentioned as the possible performers, but a report yesterday claimed that the two had declined their offers. On September 28, the NFL promptly announced its pick for the upcoming halftime performance, Bad Bunny, who will become the first person from his country to headline the famed American football ceremony.

One of the most-viewed, listened-to, and followed musicians in the world, Bad Bunny has billions of streams, subscribers, and viewers to his name. His recently announced concert residency in his homeland was a stark contrast to his missing gigs on American soil. However, the singer teased his ‘only’ tour stop in the USA hours before the official announcement, making a stylish revelation of his plans to lead the halftime show.

Starting September 4, 2025, with the reigning Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles, defeating the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL Kickoff Game, the culmination of the long-running tournament will happen with the final game being played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
