Just when the NFL announced that Bad Bunny would be the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, social media went up in flames. And adding fuel to the fire? None other than former NFL MVP and Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre. Yes, you heard that right. Whether Bad Bunny is on Favre’s playlist—well, that’s anyone’s guess.
On Monday’s “4th & Favre” podcast, Favre explained why he wouldn’t pick Bad Bunny for the halftime show. He said, “I’d pick someone who — maybe Jason Aldean… someone who loves this country and that everyone could relate to,”.

In simple terms, he prefers a patriotic artist who can connect with the audience.
Favre, who supported Trump during the 2024 election, added, “I like George Strait, that’s old school… I remember when Whitney Houston sang the National Anthem [before Super Bowl XXV in January of 1991] and I was blown away. If you didn’t have tears in your eyes watching and listening to that, something’s wrong with you.”
He also admitted, in a lighthearted tone, that he didn’t know David Kano would ask him about the halftime show. Social media immediately exploded. Some joked, “Hey Favre, have you even listened to Bad Bunny?” while others said, “Sure, Jason Aldean for the national anthem sounds nice, but will it trend in 2026?”
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell also responded, saying, “It’s carefully thought through… I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback or criticism.” Basically, whoever you pick, there’s going to be controversy. And with Roc Nation producing, the show is guaranteed to be memorable—no matter the language.
In the end, it seems Favre’s traditional mindset and Bad Bunny’s Latin flair are set to create new Super Bowl drama. And us? We’ll just sit back with popcorn and enjoy the show.
