Surprise for the Super Bowl. The Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny will be in charge of putting music in the intermediate of the great American sporting event, the final of the United States Professional Football League, which will be held on February 8 at the San Francisco 49ers stadium, in California.
The announcement of the performance of Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, on Sunday afternoon, has been entirely unexpected. The artist has done (as well as the League itself, the NFL) on its social networks, with a short video, of less than 30 seconds, where it appears on a beach and touched with a turkey, the typical port of Puerto Rico, which is proud and that even led to the MET gala in May. The bets spoke in the last days of artists like Taylor Swift, Adele or Miley Cyrus, but, clearly, they were wrong. The Puerto Rican singer will follow the wake of Kendrick Lamar, who sang last year at the great football event, and others such as Beyoncé, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Rihanna or Coldplay.
At this time, Bad Bunny is the most powerful artist and heard in the Hispanic language in the world. He has just finished – done, last week – a series of concerts in his Natal Puerto Rico, a brilliant residence that has placed the island in the epicenter of world Latin music thanks to the 30 concerts he has given (some of them, only for premises) for three months. It is estimated that their shows, to which they have come from LeBron James, Penelope Cruz or Austin Butler and in those who have sung from Archangel to Marc Anthony, have generated more than 379 million dollars for the economy of the island
The intermediate of the grand final of the NFL has become the most watched event of American television in recent years: in 2024 he managed to beat a record thanks to its 123.4 million viewers, with peaks of up to 202 million, and this 2025 exceeded it again, with 127.7 million.
The final decision about who acts in this immense while very limited show depends, in large part, on Jay Z, singer and entrepreneur. His company, Roc Nation, is responsible for the part -time organization of the party since 2020. A show For which, by the way, who acts does not receive any financial compensation, although the organization and staging costs are covered.
The person in charge of singing at the Super Bowl has just under a quarter of an hour for his show, about 13 minutes. In that space, he usually makes a great staging and sing a mixture of his great hits and get some collaborators or other great stars on stage.
