Bad Bunny's role as the performer for the Super Bowl LX halftime show has generated a wide range of reactions leading up to the matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. The Grammy Award-winning Puerto Rican artist has been vocal in his opposition to the policies of the Trump administration, particularly regarding the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who target undocumented immigrants.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed earlier this week that he believes Bad Bunny recognizes the significant platform that the halftime show provides and is optimistic that the artist will bring fans together instead of creating further division. Former NFL player Robert Griffin III echoed this sentiment. "One thing I know Bad Bunny can do is that he can all make us tap our feet and shake our booties. I want him to go out there and unite people with music," he shared with Fox News Digital on Saturday night before Sports Illustrated’s Super Bowl party. "Music we can all dance to it and enjoy. So, I’m looking forward to the performance. I’m not worried about the politics. I’m not worried about any statements. Just have a good time and do what you’re supposed to do, uniting the world around something that is eternal. Music is the heartbeat of the world."
Logan Paul, however, was less enthusiastic. "No!" he responded to Fox News Digital when asked about his excitement for the halftime show. Former NFL players Todd Gurley and Danny Amendola expressed their enthusiasm for the music. Bad Bunny’s criticisms of ICE have stirred controversy ahead of his performance, and he reaffirmed his position on ICE during the Grammy Awards.
