We all have something that motivates us in the gym \u2014 a playlist, a protein shake, a sparkling new pair of running shoes. For Bad Bunny, it was receiving a phone call from Jay-Z, asking him to headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the call, I just did like a hundred pull-ups,\u201d Bad Bunny told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 on Monday. \u201cI didn\u2019t need more pre-workout shit or whatever. It was so special.\u201d<\/p>\n
More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n The conversation marked Bad Bunny\u2019s first interview after Roc Nation, the NFL, and Apple Music announced <\/a>the Puerto Rican superstar as the headliner on Sunday. The game will take place on Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n The announcement arrives five years after Bad Bunny first graced<\/a> the Super Bowl halftime stage, during Shakira and Jennifer Lopez\u2019s co-headlining performance in 2020. The headlining slot is just one of his many achievements this year; he released his latest album, Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/a><\/em>, in January, and recently concluded a historic 31-date residency<\/a> at the El Choli arena in San Juan, Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n The Super Bowl halftime show will occur in the middle of Bad Bunny\u2019s 2026 world tour<\/a>; it\u2019s currently his only upcoming appearance in the U.S., partly due to fears that his concerts might be targeted <\/a>by ICE. As he told Lowe, headlining the halftime show carries a great deal of significance. \u201cI was keeping this secret for so long, and it felt good,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m really excited for my friends, my family. Puerto Rico, all the Latino people around the world. I\u2019m excited about my culture. I\u2019m excited about everything, not just for me.\u201d<\/p>\n While right-wingers melt down<\/a> over Bad Bunny\u2019s Super Bowl selection, the singer promised of his halftime performance, \u201cI say, this is for everyone. This is for all the people who believe in me and have been supporting me.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
