Jordan Love Breaks His Silence on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Show, Saying Music Should Unite, Not Divide
“Music isn’t about dividing us—it’s about uniting us,” says Love as he supports Bad Bunny’s halftime show ahead of Super Bowl 2026.
As anticipation for Super Bowl 2026 builds, the announcement of Puerto Rican reggaeton sensationBad Bunny as the halftime show headliner has sparked passionate debates across both the sports and music worlds. Among those defending the artist is Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who is emphasizing the unifying power of music to bring people together, regardless of language or background.
Bad Bunny, who has become a global icon, is set to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in February 2026. However, his inclusion has been met with criticism, particularly from critics like former racecar driverDanica Patrick, who voiced concerns over the artist performing in Spanish. Patrick, known for her outspoken opinions, tweeted that no songs in Spanish should be allowed at one of the most-watched TV events in the U.S. “No songs in English should be allowed at one of America’s highest-rated television events of the year,” Patrick posted, accompanied by an eye-roll emoji. She also shared a video accusing Bad Bunny of being a “demonic Marxist,” a comment that quickly sparked backlash from fans and celebrities alike.
In response, Jordan Love defended Bad Bunny’s performance, stressing the importance of music’s ability to unite people. “Music has always been about connection,” Love said. “It’s about bringing people together, not dividing them. Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl isn’t just for people who speak Spanish—it’s for everyone. It’s about celebrating culture, celebrating music, and showing that even though we come from different backgrounds, we can all be united by the power of music.”
Love also pointed out that the Super Bowl is a global event, watched by millions of people around the world, and should reflect the diversity of its audience. “The Super Bowl is not just for one group of people; it’s for everyone,” Love added. “It’s an opportunity to celebrate the diverse cultures that make up this country and the world. Bad Bunny is bringing his culture to a stage that reaches people everywhere, and that’s something we should embrace.”
The controversy surrounding Bad Bunny’s performance grew when the artist revealed that he would avoid performing in the continental U.S. during his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, citing concerns over the political climate and the increase in ICE activity under the previous administration. Despite this, the Super Bowl remains an exception, offering Bad Bunny the chance to perform on one of the world’s biggest stages.
For Love, the essence of music is simple: its ability to unite and connect people, no matter their background. “At the end of the day, music speaks to everyone, regardless of the language it’s in,” Love concluded. “Bad Bunny’s performance is a celebration of who he is, where he comes from, and the culture he represents. That’s something that should be respected. It’s a chance to bring people together through music, and that’s what the Super Bowl is all about.”
As Super Bowl 2026 draws closer, Love’s comments highlight the importance of inclusivity and unity. By defending Bad Bunny, Love encourages fans to embrace diversity and recognize the powerful role that music plays in uniting people from all walks of life.
