Super Bowl 2026 Halftime Show: Most Likely Guest Appearances With Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny is slated to perform during the Super Bowlhalftime show Sunday. There's a lot to look forward to — and that includes a compelling list of potential guests.
The singer, who was born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has only offered a few hints about what everyone can expect from his halftime show performance. For example, In an interview with Apple Music this week, host Zane Lowe confirmed the show will be 13 minutes long (the halftime show typically runs between 12 and 15 minutes).
But he's been especially quiet about who might join him onstage. Of course, that hasn't stopped most of us from speculating anyway — here's a list of possible guest singers and performers who could show up during Bad Bunny's halftime show.
Who Is Most Likely to Be Part of Bad Bunny's Halftime Show?
Cardi B: The singer may have only recently given birth, but she'll be at the Super Bowl already to cheer on her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs. She also has a prior connection to Bad Bunny: she and J Balvin (a longtime Bad Bunny collaborator) worked together on her hit single "I Like It." This would mark Cardi's first appearance as a performer at the Super Bowl — if it happens.
Rauw Alejandro: Bad Bunny and Alejandro have collaborated on two songs — "Party" and "Que Pasaría..." — and the opportunity to bring their vibe to one of the biggest stages in music may be too good to pass up.
Shakira and Jennifer Lopez: The duo headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2020 and invited both Bad Bunny and Balvin to be part of their show. It's possible Bad Bunny will want to reciprocate the experience this time around. Both singers are free-ish; Lopez has in the middle of a break during her Las Vegas residency, and Shakira is preparing for the second leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour... but they could probably make it work.
Marc Anthony and Will Smith: Bad Bunny, Smith, and Anthony collaborated on the 2018 song "Está Rico" together. This certainly means Smith and Anthony could join the singer onstage for a medley (or even the entire song). Inviting Anthony onstage would also be a nod toward older audiences who enjoy Latin music.
Ivy Queen: Bad Bunny has never hidden his appreciation for Ivy Queen, one of the founding women of Reggae. The pair have already performed together several times; most recently, Ivy Queen showed up at a few of Bad Bunny's 2022 tour stops.
Bad Bunny Could Invite Artists From Puerto Rico Onstage
Bad Bunny spent several months in Puerto Rico following the release of his Grammy-winning album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. He performed alongside quite a few artists in the country, and could conceivably invite any — or all — of them to the Super Bowl. The list includes Puerto Rican singer Ozuna, Colombian singer Feid, trap performer Arcángel, Nicky Jam, "Me Porto Bonito" singer Chencho Corleone and the bilingual band The Marías.
Bad Bunny also worked with salsa and folk legends during his Puerto Rican residency, including Gilberto Santa Rosa, Rubén Blades, Los Pleneros de la Cresta, and Alfonso Vélez.
