The ‘Most Wanted’ Guest Performers for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, According to NFL Fans
Bad Bunny is headlining the Super Bowl halftime show this year. While this has caused some controversy, many people are looking forward to seeing him perform. Often, artists bring surprise guests onstage during the halftime show; Bad Bunny himself joined Jennifer Lopez and Shakira in 2020. Here are the performers people are most hoping to see onstage with Bad Bunny.
Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl
This February, Bad Bunny will make history as the first artist to play the Super Bowl entirely in Spanish.
“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” he said, per NBC. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”
The choice has garnered some criticism, including from Donald Trump. Roger Goodell, the NFL Commissioner, said he believes Bad Bunny will put on a good show.
“He’s one of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world. That’s what we try to achieve. It’s an important stage for us. It’s an important element to the entertainment value, and it’s carefully thought through,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback and criticism. It’s pretty hard to do.”
People want these guest performers to join Bad Bunny onstage at the Super Bowl
At this point, any potential guest performers are still a secret. People have high hopes for who might join Bad Bunny onstage, though. According to a survey of NFL fans by VegasInsider.com, Cardi B is the “most wanted” guest performer. She collaborated with Bad Bunny on the 2018 song “I Like It.”
Drake is the second most anticipated, followed by Marc Anthony. People would also like to see artists including J Balvin and Rosalía.
The top song people want to hear Bad Bunny perform is “I Like It,” followed by “Party” and “Moscow Mule.”
“According to a poll of more than 3,000 NFL fans spanning all 50 American states and every NFL fandom, Cardi B tops the list of the most wanted guest performers for Bad Bunny’s halftime show, while their collaboration ‘I Like It’ emerged as the most requested track to be performed, highlighting the song’s remarkable staying power,” a spokesperson from VegasInsider.com told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “Drake and Marc Anthony followed as the No. 2 and No. 3 guest performer choices, while ‘Party’ and ‘Moscow Mule’ ranked second and third among the most requested songs, respectively.”
He was a guest performer with Shakira and Jennifer Lopez
In 2020, Bad Bunny joined Shakira onstage during her headlining performance with Lopez. At that point, he gave the crowd what people are hoping to see this year by performing “I Like It.” They also performed a mash-up of her song, “Chantaje,” and his song, “Callaita.”
Both Shakira and Lopez have expressed their support for Bad Bunny’s halftime show.
