Bad Bunnyis set for theSuper Bowl halftime show, but is he bringing anyone with him to the world's biggest stage?
The Puerto Rican artist's performance has alreadycaused much debate, but fans are looking forward to a performance that could unify, shut down his critics, and bring Latin music to an even bigger audience. The NFL has its bets on the 31-year-oldhelping globalize the Super Bowl, too.
And with up to 15 minutes to kill (some double headliners have gottenas low as 12 minutes to split), it's almost guaranteed the "Tití Me Preguntó" singer won't be alone.
Bad Bunny has touched down in the Bay Area ahead of his highly anticipated, and contested, Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on Sunday, Feb. 8, in Santa Clara, California. The Puerto Rican superstar appeared at the Apple Music press conference with hosts Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden to chat all about what fans can expect from his solo halftime show debut (he previously hit the stage with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira in 2020).
"I feel more excited about all of the people than thinking about me," he said onstage, visibly nervous, and taking it all in. "My family and all my friends."

While longtime collaboratorJ Balvinhas cleared up rumors that he would hit the stage following the pair'spost-feud reunion, other former collaborators and friends have neither confirmed nor denied making appearances.
Who could take the stage with Bad Bunny at Super Bowl 60? Here's some predictions:
Cardi B
Though the Bronx MC ismere months postpartum, she's also gearing up for her first headlining arena run in six years, theLittle Miss Drama Tour, on Feb. 11. The pair also have a hit record – "I Like It" with Balvin – that will let the "Up" rapper dip her toes in the Super Bowl field, after sheturned down the honorin 2019 to rack up "more hits" and experience performing.
Jennifer Lopezand Shakira
In a throwback to Bad Bunny and Balvin's special guest appearances duringJennifer LopezandShakira's coheadliningSuper Bowl performancein 2020, the rapper could offer the same invitation. Lopez and El Conejo Malo previously collaborated on the 2018 Latin trap hit, "Te Guste," which could slot in nicely with the singer's career-spanning set.
JLo currently has a break amid her Up All Night Las Vegas residency; however, Shakira will be preparing for the second half of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour with multiple dates in El Salvador. Still, the trio may not want to pass upmaking Latin history again.
Rauw Alejandro
With two reggaeton collabs under their belt – 2022's "Party" and 2024's "Que Pasaría..." – Bad Bunny andRauw Alejandrocould bring the globally dominating genre to the biggest stage in American music. Rauw also hit the stage during Benito's record-breaking Puerto Rican residency in 2025, in a highly anticipated appearance that also saw the "Todo De Ti" singer play his biggest hits.

Marc Anthony
Grammy-winning salsa legendMarc Anthonycould make his way to the Super Bowl stage to perform his 2018 hit with Bad Bunny (and Will Smith), "Está Rico." An appearance from the Spanish Harlem native, a mainstay of the '90s and the top-selling salsa artist of all time, would help bridge generations of Latin music.
Maluma
For Bad Bunny, every album, every tour and every day is a new opportunity to reach new career heights. In November 2025, the Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar kicked off his 24-date DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS world tour with back-to-back nights in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Then, in December, her performed more shows in Mexico City before kicking off the new year in Santiago, Chile, and then making a quit pit stop back in the states to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in February.

Malumaand Bad Bunny have so far never shared the stage before and have only officially collaborated on the remix to Maluma's track "Un Polvo" in 2016, so this one is a bit of a reach. However, the Colombian singer has been supportive of Bad Bunny, including making a cameo at his residency, and he's not unfamiliar to American audiences, having collaborated with the likes of The Weeknd, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna and Ricky Martin.
Ivy Queen
Reggaeton icon and pioneerIvy Queenhas performed with Bad Bunny on multiple occasions, with the rapper crediting the Queen of Reggaeton as a major inspiration. "I have a little piece of Ivy in my musical DNA," he said at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, whilepresenting the icon award to his fellow Puerto Rican native. And the Super Bowl wouldn't be the first time the pair performed together: The "Queiro Bailar" singer performed her verse on the remix to Bad Bunny's track "Yo Perreo Sola" at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, as well as during a few of his World's Hottest Tour dates in 2022.
Guests from his Puerto Rican residency: Ozuna, Feid, Arcángel, Nicky Jam or The Marías
