Bad Bunny Can’t Perform Ahead of Super Bowl Halftime
Bad Bunny is kicking off superbowl week with some vowel rest.
One week before headlining the 2026 halftime show, the A Summer Without You singer attended the 2026 Grammysbut, despite being nominated for six awards at the event, he has confirmed to host Trevor Noah that he wouldn’t be performing on music’s biggest night.
“Whoever’s doing the Super Bowl is contractually obligated to only do the Super Bowl,” Trevor said to Bad Bunny at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles Feb. 1, “so, you can’t perform at the Grammys. Is this true?”
“I wish,” Bad Bunny responded. “but I can’t.”
And when Trevor told the “Monaco” singer that he had expected to see him perform, Bad Bunny said, “Me too!”
In fact, the 31-year-old—who is nominated for six total Grammys this year, including Album, Record and Song of the Year—said, “I came here [and] “I thought I was performing, but now I can’t.”
While Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) may not be making much noise from stage during the Grammys, he has certainly been outspoken about what led to him making his album I SHOULD TAKE MORE PHOTOS.
“I had the desire for a long time to try to make a salsa album,” he told iD in September interview. “But I always thought about it for the future—like, ‘maybe when I’m 40.’ But why wait so long?”
