The Super Bowl Halftime Show is one of the biggest stages in the world 🌎, and the NFL just announced that Bad Bunny will headline Super Bowl 60 in 2026. 🎶🔥 But here’s the tea: he might not have been their first choice.
According to reports, Taylor Swift was in talks to take the gig — but she turned it down. Why? Because the Super Bowl Halftime Show doesn’t pay its performers. Yep, you read that right: the NFL covers production costs, but the artists don’t get a check. 💸
An unnamed music exec claims, “She wasn’t asking for favors, she was asking for respect. Taylor knows her worth, she knows the kind of ratings she brings, the global attention she commands. She wasn’t about to hand that over for free.”
So instead, it’s Bad Bunny’s time to shine — and fans can expect an unforgettable show when the big game kicks off on February 8th, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, home of the San Francisco 49ers. 🏟️✨
Swifties, what do you think? Should the NFL be cutting artists like Taylor a check? Or is the massive spotlight enough of a “payment”? 👀
