Super Bowl 2026: Bad Bunny sends message to 'be proud of who you are' ahead of historic half-time show

Bad Bunny is set to make history when he takes the stage as the first Latino and Spanish-speaking artist to headline a Super Bowl half-time show. The Puerto Rican sensation, who has been Spotify's most-streamed artist in four of the last six years, will bring his unique brand of Latin music to a global audience of millions.

However, not everyone is thrilled about Bad Bunny's inclusion. US President Donald Trump has come under fire for criticizing the artist's immigration policies, which have been publicly criticized by the 31-year-old musician. Despite this, Bad Bunny remains committed to using his platform to promote unity and inclusivity.

"I'm excited about this performance," he said in a press conference. "But at the same time, I feel more excited for other people, not even me. My family, my friends, people I know who have always believed in me. The culture."

Bad Bunny's message is one of embracing individuality and cultural pride. He wants his fans to be proud of who they are, regardless of their background or identity.

"That's what makes this show special to me," he said. "It's not just about the music; it's about the message. It's about being true to yourself and feeling comfortable in your own skin."

Bad Bunny has been open about his struggles with anxiety and depression, using his platform to raise awareness and reduce stigma around mental health issues.

"I've been working on this show, what we're gonna do Sunday, it's a lot," he said. "Thinking about the Super Bowl at 4am, that's what I've been doing. It's been hard to not."

Despite the pressure, Bad Bunny remains focused and committed to delivering an unforgettable performance.

"I'm happy but I'm just processing, taking one day at a time," he said. "I try to take it easy. Wake up, work out, drink my coffee, try not to think too much about it."

Bad Bunny's message of self-love and acceptance is one that resonates with fans around the world.

"I know I'm gonna have fun," he said last night before struggling to sleep due to his focus on Sunday's performance. "I want to think it's 13 minutes of doing what I love, what I like."

Bad Bunny will take the stage alongside a talented lineup of performers who share his commitment to promoting unity and inclusivity.

The Super Bowl is more than just a sporting event; it's a cultural phenomenon that brings people together from all walks of life. Bad Bunny's performance is set to be a defining moment in the history of the big game, one that will leave a lasting impact on fans around the world.

Wow 🀯 Bad Bunny's message of self-love and acceptance is so powerful! Interesting how he's using his platform to promote unity and inclusivity, it's really going to make that Super Bowl half-time show special 😊. The way he talks about embracing individuality and cultural pride is super inspiring, especially for people who feel like they don't fit in 🌈.
 
can't believe we're living in a time where having a latino artist headline the super bowl is historic πŸ€―β€β™‚οΈ it's not just about bad bunny being a talented performer but also about him using his platform to spread a powerful message of unity and inclusivity ❀️. his music is all about embracing individuality and cultural pride, something that's much needed in these times 🎡. it's awesome to see artists like bad bunny breaking down barriers and bringing people together through their art πŸ’–. can't wait to see him slay the stage on sunday 🀩
 
idk how he'll do, but i'm hyped for it lol 🀩. like bad bunny has been killing the music game for years and his message is so true, you know? self love and acceptance are everything πŸ’–. i feel bad that trump is trash talking him tho πŸ˜’. but let's not forget why we're here - to see amazing music and performances 🎡. and if anyone can bring that energy, it's bad bunny πŸ’ͺ. his mental health stuff is super relatable too, hope he's taking care of himself πŸ€—
 
lol what's up with Trump trashing Bad Bunny over his immigration policies? like who cares about that right now? it's the Super Bowl 🏈! can't we just enjoy the music and the vibes without all the drama? and honestly, I'm more hyped for the fact that Bad Bunny is finally gonna get some recognition for being a talented artist and not just a Latinx token πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. he's got a message of love and acceptance that needs to be spread far and wide, not just in the US 🌎. btw, I'm still salty about the lack of more Latinx representation in the Super Bowl history πŸ™„
 
im not sure about this half time show thingy... i mean, bad bunny is cool and all but super bowl halftime show shouldnt just be about music... its like remember when ed sheeran played at the super bowl in 2019? it was so overhyped... anyway, i guess bad bunny is gonna bring some latin vibes to the party πŸŽ‰πŸŽΆ
 
omg, i'm low-key disappointed πŸ€”, like why not just have some bland, generic artist perform or something? bad bunny seems too "on-brand" for the super bowl vibe πŸŽ‰, and let's be real, trump's a huge troll who's probably gonna get more attention than actual content πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. and what's with all this fuss about latin music? can't we just have some chill vibes on tv instead of trying to represent every single culture ever? 😴
 
.. I gotta say, this whole thing got me thinkin'. Like, bad bunny takin' the stage at the super bowl is all cool and all, but what's really important here is that he's not lettin' the hate get to him. He's still all about spreadin' love and unity, even when people like trump are tryin' to bring him down.

It's a reminder that our words and actions have power, you know? We can choose to use our platforms to uplift or tear others down. Bad bunny chose the former, and now he's gonna get to share his message with millions of people.

And let's be real, it's not just about bad bunny either. It's about all of us makin' a conscious effort to be kind and compassionate towards one another. We're all in this together, after all 😊.
 
πŸ€” this is wild... bad bunny's story is like, so inspiring - from struggle to stardom, he's got this message of self-love and acceptance that's all about embracing who you are, no matter what. it's not just about music, it's about using your platform to spread love and unity. i think it's beautiful that he's taking the stage as a symbol of pride for his culture, but also for people who might be feeling lost or like they don't fit in. 🌎 can you imagine walking into a crowd of millions and just being yourself? that takes courage, man...
 
I'm hyped for this! 🀩 I think it's dope that Bad Bunny is breaking barriers as the first Latino and Spanish-speaking artist to headline a Super Bowl half-time show! πŸŽ‰ His music is all about self-love, acceptance, and unity – it's gonna be so inspiring to see him perform live. I'm sure his fans are going to freak out when he takes the stage! πŸ˜† The message of embracing individuality and cultural pride is everything, and I love that he's using his platform to spread positivity and awareness about mental health. He's literally a role model for anyone who's ever felt like they don't quite fit in – we need more people like him speaking up and being unapologetically themselves! πŸ’–
 
omg u think its cool that bad bunny is makin history by performin at super bowl half time show? but like i dont think about politics thats just trash πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ what im excited about is that he's bringin latin music to a global audience & promisin unity & inclusivity 🌎🎢 thats somethin we should all be about. and omg he talks about self love & acceptance too? u can feel the vibe from his words 😊
 
πŸ€” I think this is awesome! It's about time we saw more diversity at the Super Bowl halftime show. I mean, who says you can't have a Latin artist headline? πŸŽ‰ It's gonna be lit! But what's also cool is that Bad Bunny isn't just promoting his own music, he's spreading a message of self-love and acceptance. That's something we all need more of, especially with the crazy world we're living in right now. πŸ’– I'm curious to see how it'll go down on Sunday... will it be a hit or a miss? 🀞
 
can't believe we're finally getting a Latin artist headlining the Super Bowl 🀯 it's long overdue, tbh - everyone knows how powerful Bad Bunny's music is and how well he connects with his audience - I'm hyped to see him bring that energy to the stadium! but also hope he gets some much-needed recognition for using his platform to promote mental health awareness πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ
 
omg i'm literally hyped for bad bunny to perform at super bowl 🀩 but like has anyone thought about how this is gonna affect the latinx community in the US? i mean don't get me wrong, bad bunny is an amazing artist and all but as a latino himself, it's gonna be interesting to see how he represents our culture on that big stage. also, what's up with trump criticizing him? can we please just focus on the music 🎢??
 
omg can u believe bad bunny is literally changing the game by being the first latino artist to headline a super bowl half time show? 🀩 he's been killing it on spotify for years and now he's taking it to the big stage!

i think its awesome that trump is trying to stir up drama about bad bunny's immigration policies, but honestly who cares? bad bunny is all about spreading love and positivity through his music. like, the culture he's talking about isnt just about puerto rico or latin america, its about embracing your true self and being proud of who u r.

i also love that hes been so open about his struggles with anxiety and depression, using his platform to raise awareness and reduce stigma around mental health issues. we need more people like bad bunny in the spotlight!

anyway i think its gonna be lit at the super bowl this year and im hyped to see what bad bunny has in store for us! πŸŽ‰
 
I'm stoked to see someone like Bad Bunny taking the stage at the Super Bowl 🀩. I mean, it's about time we had some more diversity on the big show. His music is all about embracing your culture and being true to yourself, which is something that's really resonating with people right now πŸ’–. And let's be real, his message of mental health awareness is so important - he's not afraid to talk about his own struggles and that takes a lot of courage πŸ€—. I'm definitely excited to see him perform on Sunday!
 
ugh, bad bunny's super bowl halftime show thingy πŸ€”... i don't know man, it feels like he's being pushed into this role without really thinking about what he wants to say or do. is it just about him promoting unity and inclusivity because that's what everyone else is talking about? πŸ™„ shouldn't he be doing his own thang for once? and what about the fact that trump had to go and criticize him over immigration policies?... now bad bunny has to be this poster child for acceptance or whatever. it just feels like a big commercial for diversity rather than an actual celebration of individuality πŸ’Έ
 
Can't believe Trump is still making waves about this πŸ™„β€β™‚οΈ! Like, what's next? Trying to cancel Latin music because it's not American enough? Bad Bunny is all about spreading love and unity, and he's using his platform for good πŸ’–. I'm hyped that the Super Bowl is going to be a celebration of all things Latinx and inclusive πŸŽ‰. It's about time we saw some representation on that big stage! And let's not forget, Bad Bunny is an inspiration to millions with his mental health struggles - he's not just talented, but also a beacon of hope πŸ’ͺ
