Jennifer Lopez Reveals Whether Bad Bunny Has Tapped Her for Super Bowl Halftime Show 2026

When Jennifer Lopez and Shakira headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2020, they invited Bad Bunny to share the stage with them — but will he return the favor?

While guesting on Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday (Oct. 15), J. Lo revealed whether she’s been tapped to join Benito on stage when he performs at the big game in 2026. According to her, “There’s no talk!”

“I have not gotten any calls!” she continued. “So I just want to put the expectation down.”

But would she be interested if he did reach out? “Of course if he wanted me to do something, I would definitely do it,” Lopez added.

The interview comes just a few weeks after it was announced that Bad Bunny is next year’s headliner, a decision that upset many conservatives — including President Donald Trump, who called it “absolutely ridiculous.” In protest of Jay-Z’s Roc Nation selecting a Spanish-speaking performer, Turning Point USA recently announced its intention to host an alternate halftime program, featuring “anything in English” by way of music choice.

Countless other people, however, have pointed out that there is nothing inherently political about choosing the Puerto Rican superstar to perform. Shaboozey recently pointed out that inviting Benito to perform could be incredibly beneficial to the NFL’s globalization efforts, telling Billboard, “He’s a global superstar, global icon — and an American citizen. There’s no better choice.”

Lopez also defended the selection of Bad Bunny as next year’s headliner on the Today show. “I think he’s about to blow everybody’s minds,” she said recently. “I don’t understand [the controversy]. He’s one of the top artists in the world right now, probably the top.”
