Super Bowl week is a huge deal for the New England Patriots, but the excitement isn’t just about the game itself. As the team gears up for the season’s biggest showdown, the buzz surrounding the halftime show is adding an intriguing subplot that connects directly to the players.
With Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl 60 halftime show and Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs playing in the biggest game of his career, rumors linking Cardi B to a potential cameo have only intensified across league circles and fan conversations.
Halftime Speculation Adds Another Layer to Patriots Super Bowl Storyline
The buzz stems from history and timing. Cardi B previously collaborated with Bad Bunny on the global hit “I Like It,” making her one of the most logical potential surprise guests if the show includes past collaborations. When asked recently about possibly performing the song together, Cardi B offered a short but telling response.
“It would be exciting,” she said at a Fanatics Super Bowl week event.
That answer fueled speculation without confirming anything. Reports indicate her presence in Super Bowl week events is expected regardless, largely because of Diggs’ historic moment. The Patriots receiver is appearing in his first Super Bowl, marking a major milestone in a career already filled with individual accolades, including All-Pro recognition.
From a narrative standpoint, the timing could be historic. Diggs potentially winning a Super Bowl championship while his partner appears during halftime would create one of the more memorable cross-sports entertainment moments in recent Super Bowl history. Still, there is no confirmation that such a moment will happen.
Even Diggs avoided giving a direct answer when asked. When questioned during opening-night media availability, he responded playfully.

“I don’t know. We can call and ask her,” Diggs said, before pivoting to playing Bad Bunny music on his phone.
League-wide conversation around the halftime show has already expanded beyond music. The selection of Bad Bunny has sparked mixed reactions among players and fans. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the choice, emphasizing the league’s goal of bringing people together through global artists and cultural reach.
From a football standpoint, the Patriots’ focus remains on the game. But the surrounding attention highlights how the Super Bowl has evolved into a cultural event as much as a championship contest. Diggs’s presence alone makes the speculation harder to ignore, especially given his public support of Bad Bunny’s music.
For now, the rumor sits firmly in “possible but unconfirmed” territory. Surprise halftime guests are traditionally kept secret until the moment happens. If Cardi B does appear, it could elevate an already historic weekend. If not, the Patriots still enter Super Bowl Sunday with championship stakes front and center.
Either way, all eyes will be on both the field and the stage.
