Get ready for a legendary Super Bowl moment as Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny prepares to electrify the halftime show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. California Governor Gavin Newsom is so hyped about the performance that he’s officially declared Super Bowl Sunday as “Bad Bunny Day” across the Golden State.

The Grammy Award-winning artist, known for his groundbreaking music and global appeal, promises fans an unforgettable experience. Speaking at a recent press conference, Bad Bunny shared his excitement: “I really want people to have fun. It’s gonna be a huge party. I want to bring what people can expect from me, and a lot from my culture”.

This isn’t just any halftime show. Bad Bunny recently clinched the Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammy Awards for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” and sold out a massive 31-show residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico from July to September 2025. His rising popularity has even included memorable appearances on “Saturday Night Live,” solidifying his status as a global entertainment icon.

Newsom’s enthusiastic declaration comes with his signature dramatic flair, posting entirely in capital letters about his love for “PUERRRRRRRTO RICO” and celebrating the artist’s cultural significance. “I AM A TREMENDOUS LOVER OF ‘THE SPANISH,’” he proclaimed, highlighting the diverse linguistic landscape of California.

Fans are already buzzing with anticipation, with some even starting Spanish language learning countdowns in preparation for the big event. The Super Bowl LX promises not just athletic competition, but a musical extravaganza featuring Bad Bunny, along with other legendary performers like Green Day, The Killers, and Sting.

As the Seahawks and Patriots battle for the Vince Lombardi Trophy, many eyes will be on Bad Bunny, whose performance is expected to be a cultural moment that transcends the game itself. The halftime show kicks off at 3:30 p.m. PT, promising an epic celebration of music, culture, and pure entertainment.

Whether you’re a die-hard sports fan, a music enthusiast, or just looking for an incredible cultural experience, this Super Bowl promises something extraordinary for everyone.
