Petition to Replace Bad Bunny With George Strait for Super Bowl Halftime Show Surpasses 35,000 Signatures [View all]

Critics of the NFL’s choice to select superstar Bad Bunny to perform during the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show are putting their support behind a different artist.

A petition on Change.org has surfaced in an effort to replace Bad Bunny, 31, with country music legend George Strait.

“The Super Bowl halftime show is one of the most watched music performances worldwide, celebrating not just the sport but the cultural tapestry of America,” the petition reads. “In recent years, this performance has leaned increasingly towards modern pop and international artists. While this approach certainly broadens the audience, it’s pivotal to remember the roots that have made American music what it is today.”
