Shakira can’t wait to watch Bad Bunny take the stage during the 2026 Super Bowl!
Last month, it was announced that the 31-year-old Puerto Rican superstar will be headlining the Halftime Show at the big game taking place in February 2026.
In a new interview, Shakira, 48, defended the NFL and Apple Music’s decision to have Bad Bunny headline the Halftime Show.

The “She Wolf” singer continued, “Acceptance of Spanish-language music as part of the mainstream has come so far from when I started. I hope and like to think that all the times my music was met with resistance or puzzlement from the English-speaking world before it was embraced, helped forge the path to where we are now.”
If you forgot, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez co-headlined the Halftime Show back in 2020 and they brought up Bad Bunny and J Balvin as special guests.
“I’m so proud that Bad Bunny, who represents not only Latin culture but also how important Spanish language music has become on a global scale and how universal it has become, is getting to perform on the biggest stage in the world,” Shakira added. “It’s the perfect moment for a performance like this. I can’t wait to watch it.”
Jennifer Lopez also recently shared her excitement about Bad Bunny headlining the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
