Super Bowl 2026 halftime show live: Bad Bunny setlist, surprise guests and reactions

I see grass… can anyone see a casita?

Seattle up 9-0 in a defensive battle, the Patriots are fortunate to be down just 9-0, it’s been a woeful performance on offense. A long break, then, to refocus.

New England head coach Mike Vrabel: “We have to do a much better job, our defense has done a great job to restrict them to field goals, we’ll settle down. We’ve got to set a good edge.”

The Seattle defense is as advertised, a shutout first half for them, and a perfect platform to finish the job in the second half and clinch a second-ever title and first since 2013.

Donald Trump certainly knows about Bad Bunny now. In October last year, the president claimed he’d “never heard” of the trailblazing 31-year-old, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. As recently as 2016, Ocasio was working as a grocery store bagger in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, uploading tracks to SoundCloud between shifts. Today, the Puerto Rican star has made himself simply inescapable.

It’s Bad Bunny time, let’s gooooooooooo

My colleagues in the US are keeping an eye on that one so I don’t have to;

It’s almost time for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl 2026 halftime performance, a reminder of the setlist we’re predicting….

The frantic huddle on the Patriots touchline shows the urgency they have to switch up their woes on offense. Just down six, but nothing is working for the Pats and Maye is not even able to get out and use his legs as he was able to do in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Seattle, on offense, are leaning heavily on Ken Walker, with his sudden movement adding chunk yardage. Darnold is able to escape, too, with Walker spinning out and able to catch the ball. A pivotal player in this game, 6-0 does not reflect how well things are going for Seattle.

Unsurprisingly, Green Day didn’t say anything too provocative during their set at the Super Bowl, but frontman Billie Joe Armstrong did take a few swipes at Trump and his administration on Friday night at a pre-Super Bowl party in San Francisco.

The band changed the lyrics of their song “Holiday” to, “The representative of Epstein’s Island now has the floor.”

Armstrong also addressed ICE agents while onstage, telling them to “quit your s****y job.”

My colleagues will attest to this, we were taking bets on whether Puth would go “under or over” the usual two-minute mark for his national anthem performance. I said 1.56 and… I was bang on! Unbelievable. For the record, I’ve never actually bet money on this kind of thing because it feels weirdly unethical, I’m just psychic at this point.
