As Bad Bunny prepares to headline the halftime show, Super Bowl LX is beefing up its all-star music lineup with help from Roc Nation and Apple Music.
On Sunday, the NFL announced that Brandi Carlile, Charlie Puth and Coco Jones had joined the pre-game roster for the championship game to be played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8, 2026, broadcast live on NBC.
Puth will perform the national anthem, with Carlile singing “America the Beautiful” and Jones performing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” at venues across the San Francisco Bay Area.
The latest addition to the 2026 Super Bowl lineup comes after Bad Bunny was chosen to headline the halftime show in September, sparking threats from Trump’s Department of Homeland Security, despite the three-time Grammy winner being a U.S. citizen from Puerto Rico.
Trump loyalists voiced their opinion against Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl, and Turning Point USA took the opportunity to present an alternative halftime show that same day.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has since defended the league’s decision to select Bad Bunny. “He’s one of the biggest and most popular artists in the world. That’s what we’re trying to achieve. It’s a big step for us. It’s an important piece of entertainment value. It’s carefully thought out,” he said.
“I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist that we didn’t get backlash or criticism for. It’s hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people watching. But I have no doubt it will be a great show,” Goodell added. “He understands the platform he’s on, and I think it’s going to be an exciting and unifying moment.”
