If you ask us, we'd call for the NFL to make it a halftime football game and give Bad Bunny the floor to perform for three hours instead.
Still, we'll take what we can get with a roughly 12 to 14-minute perreo from the 31-year-old artist at halftime. The Puerto Rican superstar, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, will grace the world's biggest stage, the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, in Santa Clara, California, Feb. 8, after wrapping three consecutive shows in Medellín, Colombia, in January, and kicking off the month with a historic Grammy win.
While sports enthusiasts are taking bets on the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, Bad Bunny fans − and other music lovers − have been dying to know what Benito has up his sleeve since he was announced as the halftime show headliner.
But as hardcore fans already know, the enigmatic singer does exactly what he wants, not what people are expecting. Until then, here are our predictions (and manifestations) for Benito's setlist:
It doesn't get any more patriotic for Bad Bunny than featuring the Puerto Rican flag atop the Statue of Liberty, so why wouldn't he perform this track of resistance to honor his island and its people? The Super Bowl might be on the West Coast, but this upbeat dembow and reggaeton mashup, with a touch of a 1975 salsa sample, would make the perfect nod to the musical influences that inspired his new music. — Pamela Avila
