A recent petition on Change.org has garnered over 60,000 signatures, calling for a change in the Super Bowl halftime show lineup. The petition organizer, known as “Kar Shell,” proposes that country music icon George Strait replaces Bad Bunny as the featured performer for the upcoming Super Bowl LX.
Bad Bunny vs. George Strait: A Cultural Clash
The petition argues that the NFL and Roc Nation should honor American musical roots during the Super Bowl. It emphasizes that while modern pop and international artists like Bad Bunny have expanded the audience, the historical significance of American music should not be overlooked.

Arguments for George Strait
The petition describes George Strait as the “King of Country,” highlighting his ability to connect with diverse audiences through his music. It asserts that his performances bring people together and celebrate American culture.
In contrast, the petition critiques Bad Bunny’s drag performances and suggests that they do not align with what families expect during the Super Bowl. The statement emphasizes the need for a performance that unites rather than polarizes the audience.
Public Backlash Against Bad Bunny’s Performance
The selection of Bad Bunny has faced significant criticism. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, publicly expressed her discontent following Bad Bunny’s lighthearted remark about cultural language barriers. Greene announced a bill aimed at making English the official language of the United States, using Bad Bunny’s comments as a catalyst for her position.
While discussing his upcoming Super Bowl performance, Bad Bunny expressed his gratitude and commitment to representing his culture. He stated that his performance symbolizes a broader victory for the Latino community in the United States.
Super Bowl LX Details
Super Bowl LX is set to take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Bad Bunny, 31, was officially announced as the halftime show performer just last week.
The debate surrounding the halftime performance underscores a larger conversation about cultural representation in major events. Fans are eager to see how the halftime show will unfold and whether it will reflect the diverse tapestry of American music.
