Bad Bunny will bring Latin music to one of the world’s biggest stages as the headline act for the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show. The announcement ends weeks of speculation that Taylor Swift would take the coveted slot.
Grammy-winning Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny will headline next year's Super Bowl halftime show, the NFL said on Sunday, ending speculation that Taylor Swift was being lined up for the American football showpiece.
Super Bowl halftime shows have traditionally attracted the biggest names in the music world, with past performers reading like a who's who of the industry, including Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Prince and Paul McCartney.
More recent performers have included Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar. Bad Bunny was a guest act alongside Lopez at the 2020 Super Bowl in Miami.
U.S. pop icon Swift — who is engaged to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce — had been linked to performing at next year's Super Bowl, with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell saying earlier this month the league would "love" to have her play.
"She is a special, special talent and obviously she would be welcome any time," Goodell said.
Recent reports, however, said Swift had turned down the chance to perform at the NFL showpiece.
