A petition to replace Bad Bunny with country legend George Strait at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show has surpassed 57,000 signatures since launching on October 1. The campaign claims the show should “unite our country, honor American culture, and remain family-friendly,” calling Strait the King of Country. But critics say the petition’s language targets both Latin and LGBTQ+ communities. Bad Bunny, known for his gender-fluid fashion and support of queer rights, has been praised for breaking barriers in reggaeton. As hashtags #KeepBadBunny and #StraitForSuperBowl trend, fans argue the debate isn’t just about music—but about who gets to define American culture.
