Bad Bunny Claps Back at Conservative Criticism of Super Bowl Halftime Gig

In a surprising move, Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny has been announced as the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show. The news has sparked a mix of excitement and controversy, with the three-time Grammy winner addressing the backlash during his recent Saturday Night Live hosting debut.

During his monologue, Bad Bunny poked fun at conservative critics, noting that "everyone is excited" about his upcoming performance, "even Fox News!" The show then cut to a montage of a Fox News host praising the musician and suggesting he should run for president.

Bad Bunny expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity, saying, "I'm really excited to be doing the Super Bowl, I know that people all around the world who love my music are also happy." He then joked that those who don't understand his Spanish remarks have four months to learn the language.

Amidst the Super Bowl Halftime Show drama, Taylor Swift quietly released a limited CD of acoustic recordings titled "The Life of a Showgirl." The three-time Grammy winner's latest project offers fans a unique glimpse into her creative process.

As the new season of SNL kicks off, the show has also undergone some cast changes, with several longtime members departing after the landmark 50th season. However, the premiere episode featured Bad Bunny as the host, with Doja Cat serving as the musical guest.
