House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized the decision to book Bad Bunny for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, calling it "a terrible decision" and saying the event should have featured an artist with "a broader audience." His comments echo former President Donald Trump’s previously stated opposition to the Puerto Rican superstar headlining the game. Johnson suggested that performers such as Lee Greenwood — who are perceived by some as having wider mainstream or traditional appeal — would have been a better fit for the high-profile halftime slot. The speaker’s remarks highlight how entertainment choices at major events like the Super Bowl can become politically charged topics. Bad Bunny, one of the world’s best-known Latin artists, has repeatedly crossed into mainstream American pop culture with chart-topping releases and major collaborations. Supporters of the booking argue that halftime shows have evolved to reflect diverse audiences and global music trends, while critics counter that organizers should select performers with the broadest possible mainstream reach. The debate around the 2026 halftime act underscores a broader conversation about culture, politics, and representation in major national events. As plans for the Super Bowl continue to develop, public opinion remains divided over whether organizers struck the right balance between artistic choice and perceived mass appeal.
