As Bad Bunny prepares to headline the halftime show, Super Bowl LX is beefing up its star-studded musical lineup with help from Roc Nation and Apple Music.
On Sunday, the NFL announced that Brandi Carlile, Charlie Puth and Coco Jones have joined the pregame lineup for the championship game set for Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Feb. 8, 2026, broadcasting live on NBC.
Puth will perform the national anthem, with Carlile singing ‘America the Beautiful’ and Jones delivering a rendition of ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’, performing from venues around the San Francisco Bay Area.
The latest addition to the 2026 Super Bowl lineup comes after Bad Bunny was tapped to headline the halftime show in September, sparking threats from Trump’s Department of Homeland Security, despite the 3x Grammy winner being a U.S. citizen from Puerto Rico.
Trump loyalists have voiced their opinion against Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl, and Turning Point USA took the opportunity to present an alternative Halftime show on the same day.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has since defended the league’s decision to select Bad Bunny. “He’s one of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world. That’s what we try to achieve. It’s an important stage for us. It’s an important element to the entertainment value. It’s carefully thought through,” he said.
“I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback or criticism. That’s hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching. But I feel confident that it’s going to be a great show,” added Goodell. “He understands the platform that he’s on, and I think it’s going to be an exciting and uniting moment.”
