Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre said he chose not to watch Bad Bunny's halftime performance during Super Bowl LX, instead opting for an alternative "All-American" show that aired concurrently with the NFL's official broadcast.
Favre shared his decision on social media ahead of the game, explaining that he was unfamiliar with Bad Bunny's music and preferred to watch a separate halftime program featuring artists Lee Brice and Kid Rock. The alternate show was presented by Turning Point USA and streamed online during the Super Bowl break.
"Not familiar with Bad Bunny so don't know if his music is good or bad," Favre wrote, adding that he planned to watch music he already knew. His comments circulated widely as fans and commentators discussed reactions to the Super Bowl's halftime entertainment.
Bad Bunny, one of the world's most popular Latin music artists, headlined the halftime show as the Seattle Seahawks faced the New England Patriots at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The Grammy Award-winning performer recently won Album of the Year and has been praised by the NFL for his global reach and cultural influence.
Favre was among several public figures who voiced their preference for the alternative broadcast. At the same time, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the league's decision to select Bad Bunny, saying the artist was chosen for his ability to connect with a wide and diverse audience and to use music as a unifying force.
The differing reactions highlighted the wide range of expectations surrounding one of the most-watched performances in sports. As with past Super Bowl halftime shows, the event once again underscored how music, culture, and personal values often intersect on football's biggest stage-a moment that, for many viewers, also invites reflection on unity, respect, and the shared experience of a global audience.
