On September 28, musician Bad Bunny was officially announced as the Super Bowl LX halftime performer.

Bad Bunny is a rapper, singer, and producer from Puerto Rico, who has been dubbed the “King of Latin Trap,” and considered one of the best latin rappers of all time. He’s also had roles in the films F9, Bullet Train, Cassandro, and Caught Stealing.

Many fans were excited to hear that Bad Bunny will be performing at the Super Bowl, especially since he admitted that he didn’t add any tour stops in the United States because of the fear of ICE raids at his shows.

However, plenty of people were not pleased with the NFL’s decision.

Turning Point USA, which was founded by Charlie Kirk, announced last week (October 9), that it will be hosting the All American Halftime Show during the Super Bowl in protest against the decision.

The announcement of the All American Halftime Show noted that it will be “celebrating faith, family, and freedom.”

Super Bowl LX will be held on February 8, 2026.

Petitions Started To Replace Bad Bunny With Country Music Icon George Strait

Now, country music fans are getting in on the action. Multiple petitions have been launched seeking to replace Bad Bunny with country music legend George Strait!

One petition starter, Kar Shell, said that he believed the halftime show “should unite our country, honor American culture, and remain family-friendly, not be turned into a political stunt.”

“Bad Bunny represents none of these values; his drag performances and style are the opposite of what families expect on football’s biggest stage,” Shell continued.

So far, Shell’s petition has over 2,000 signatures, and a flood of comments in support of Strait singing during halftime.

“We need George Strait,” one commented.

“Country music hasn’t been played in the Super Bowl in a long time and why not have the best artist in country music play it’s time for change,” another wrote.
