US EditionBad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show is not being reconsidered, NFL commissioner says
- On Oct 22, 2025, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league is not considering dropping Bad Bunny as Super Bowl LX halftime headliner and defended the choice as `It's carefully thought through`.
- After a September announcement by Apple Music and the NFL that named him, Bad Bunny, born Benito A. Martínez Ocasio, Puerto Rican artist, gained worldwide attention and over 80 million monthly Spotify listeners.
- Conservative critics escalated the response by warning of ICE enforcement and staging alternatives, noting President Donald Trump called the selection `absolutely ridiculous` while Corey Lewandowski and Kristi Noem raised ICE concerns and Turning Point USA planned alternate programming.
- Artists and Latino communities framed the slot as culturally meaningful, noting many musicians defended Bad Bunny while Puerto Rican and U.S. Latino communities question social acceptance.
- As a broader moment, the selection raises questions about unequal citizenship and representation because Bad Bunny's Super Bowl selection illustrates the Puerto Rican `alien-citizen paradox`, and a referenced report says citizenship `is not equal, permanent, irrevocable citizenship` for Puerto Rican residents and citizens.
