Bad Bunny opens performance at 2026 Super Bowl Halftime show
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) investigated Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show following concerns from a Republican lawmaker about potential indecency violations.
FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez reviewed the Spanish-language transcripts and found no violation of federal rules, dismissing the lawmaker's suggestion as unjustified harassment.
Multiple Republican politicians, including Florida Rep. Randy Fine and Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, expressed outrage online, alleging the performance's lyrics were “disgusting” and “glorified sodomy.”
Bad Bunny made history as the first artist to perform a Super Bowl halftime show entirely in Spanish and the first Latin solo act to headline the event.
Trump criticised the performance, stating that “Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting.”
