Bad Bunny is a three-time Grammy Award winner and has 10 total nominations. He is a well-recognized artist who has taken the musical world by storm. Now, he’s headed straight for the spotlight in the year’s most significant American sporting event. He has spoken about reluctance to perform in the United States over immigration policies, but he’ll be at the Super Bowl.
Bad Bunny is one of the most-streamed artists in the world. He’s a big-time star, and the NFL made sure to get one of the world’s most prominent artists for its big stage. It’s going to be a different type of halftime show as he will be the first headliner to sing Latin music predominantly in Spanish.
He isn’t the first Latin artist to have performed, though, as Shakira and Jennifer Lopez had the stage for Super Bowl LIV. Bad Bunny’s newest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, is one of the top albums in the world right now. Sitting at 13th in the Billboard 200, the album spent time as the top album in the world.
This isn’t his only album that has gained plenty of attention. His album, Un Verano Sin Ti, is responsible for one of his wins at the Grammys. He’s won the Best Musica Urbana Album at the awards on multiple occasions. Now, it’s time for him to put it on display for the world for those who haven’t experienced any of his music.
The NFL explored other options but landed on Bad Bunny for the show. The Puerto Rican is going to be a unique show, and all eyes will be on his performance. His appeal spans the globe and will bring a worldwide audience beyond just football fans.
