[坏痞兔]表示,他正以兴奋、感恩和深思熟虑的复杂心情准备备受期待的超级碗中场秀表演。
“说实话,我不知道自己现在是什么感觉。事情太多了。我还在巡演途中,上周刚参加了格莱美奖。所有这些事情。”他周四在苹果音乐主办的新闻发布会上用英语说道。他以2017年的单曲《Chambea》开场。
“我很兴奋,但同时,我比自己更兴奋的是那些人——我的家人、我的朋友,那些一直相信我的人,”他表示,”这一刻,这种文化——这才是让这些演出特别的原因。”
波多黎各超级巨星、本名贝尼托·安东尼奥·马丁内斯·奥卡西奥的坏痞兔,是全球流媒体播放量最高的艺术家之一。他将在2026年格莱美奖中凭借专辑《Debí Tirar Más Fotos》获得年度专辑奖一周后登上超级碗舞台。这是首次有全西班牙语专辑斩获该最高奖项。
在新闻发布会上,坏痞兔开玩笑说,粉丝们无需学习西班牙语就能享受他的演出——但应该准备好跳舞,这让人想起他去年10月的《周六夜现场》独角戏。
苹果音乐的赞恩·洛和埃布罗·达登主持了与坏痞兔的对话。周四的活动于太平洋时间上午10点从赛前表演者的对话开始。
今年,会场开门前就排起了长队,持证媒体——包括大量西班牙语和拉美媒体——在新闻发布会开始前近一小时就挤满了会议室。
这与肯德里克·拉马尔2025年的新闻发布会形成鲜明对比,当时会场直到活动开始前约15分钟才座无虚席。
尽管关注度极高,坏痞兔对周日观众将看到什么几乎没有透露具体细节。

“这将是一场盛大派对,”他说,”人们可以期待的是……当然,我会把我的文化带到舞台上。但我真的不想剧透任何内容。这会很有趣。”
对这位艺术家而言,参加超级碗的旅程从未因认可或奖项而驱动。他表示《Debí Tirar Más Fotos》成为他最有意义的作品,因为它植根于重新连接自己的身份、历史和文化,而非追逐里程碑。
“我不是在寻求年度专辑奖,也不是在寻求超级碗中场秀的演出机会,”他说,”我只是试图与我的根源、我的人民、我自己建立联系。”
他表示,这种心态最终为他打开了更大的门:将个人文化表达带到世界最大舞台之一。
“你永远要为自己和家乡感到自豪,”他说,”但不要让这些限制你的发展。”
坏痞兔对超级碗舞台并不陌生。他曾在2020年超级碗LIV中场秀中与詹妮弗·洛佩兹和夏奇拉同台演出。但他表示自己的专注度从未改变。
“我最大的乐趣就是创作,在创作中享受乐趣并与人们建立联系,”他说,”这是我每次在录音室都在追求的东西。”
当被问及是否会有神秘嘉宾时,他表示”这是我不会告诉你的事情”。
随后他透露,实际上会有很多嘉宾到场观看——他的朋友、家人、”拉丁裔社区”以及全球喜爱他音乐的人。
采访结束时,坏痞兔回答了几名学生记者的提问,其中一位请他说出早期支持者。”我的妈妈,”歌手回答道。
“在一切开始之前,她相信我这个人,作为一个人。她相信我,相信我的决定和我的看法,”他继续说道,”我认为这就是我走到今天的原因,你知道吗?不是因为她相信我是个伟大的艺术家,而是因为她相信我是个好人。”
超级碗将于周日在圣克拉拉的李维斯体育场举行,西雅图海鹰队对阵新英格兰爱国者队。
超级碗赛前表演将以几位北加州杰出表演者开场:查理·普斯将登台演唱国歌,布兰迪·卡莉将演唱《美丽的美国》,科科·琼斯将演唱《升起来歌唱》。
“我希望他们感到鼓舞。我希望每个人都知道音乐是如此奇妙的东西,”普斯谈到自己的表演时说。
“这几乎是顶级中的顶级,”琼斯补充道,”这太棒了……很难与之竞争。也许我的婚礼会在这个级别上。”
国歌和《升起来歌唱》将由聋人表演者弗雷德·比姆以美国手语表演。朱利安·奥尔蒂斯将以手语演绎《美丽的美国》。
赛前,绿日乐队将登台演出,庆祝超级碗60周年。这支起源于湾区的乐队计划”尽情喧闹”,主唱比莉·乔·阿姆斯特朗表示。
历史性的首次,中场秀将包含一个多语言手语项目,由波多黎各手语领衔,由 interpreter Celimar Rivera Cosme 领导。她也是坏痞兔去年在波多黎各的标志性驻场演出的手语翻译,该演出吸引了超过50万粉丝。
所有赛前和中场秀的手语表演都将与 LOVE SIGN 的亚历克西斯·卡沙尔和聋人平等组织的霍华德·罗森布卢姆合作呈现。
Bad Bunny says 2026 Super Bowl halftime show will “be a huge party”
February 5, 2026 / 5:08 PM EST / AP
[Bad Bunny] says he’s approaching his [highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance] with a mix of excitement, gratitude and perspective.
“To be honest, I don’t know how I’m feeling. There’s a lot. I’m still in the middle of my tour. I was just at the Grammys last week. All of that,” he said in English on Thursday at a press event hosted by Apple Music. He walked out to his 2017 single “Chambea.”
“I’m excited, but at the same time, I feel more excited about the people than even me — my family, my friends, the people who have always believed in me,” he said. “This moment, the culture — that’s what makes these shows special.”
Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the most-streamed artists on the planet. He will take the Super Bowl stage just one week after he won album of the year at the [2026 Grammys] for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.” It’s the first time an all Spanish-language album has taken home the top prize.
During the conference, Bad Bunny joked that fans didn’t need to learn Spanish to enjoy his set — but they should be prepared to dance, a reference to his “Saturday Night Live” monologue from last October.
Apple Music’s Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden hosted the conversation with Bad Bunny. Thursday’s event began with conversations with pregame performers at 10 a.m. Pacific time.
This year, a long line formed well before the doors opened, with credentialed media — including a noticeable presence of Spanish-language and Latin American outlets — packing the conference room nearly an hour before the news conference began.
It marked a stark contrast to Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 news conference, when the room didn’t fill up until roughly 15 minutes before the event.
Despite the heightened interest, Bad Bunny offered few specifics about what viewers will see Sunday.

“It’s going to be a huge party,” he said. “What people can expect from me … I want to bring to the stage, of course, a lot of my culture. But I really don’t, I don’t want to give any spoilers. It’s going to be fun.”
For the artist, the journey to the Super Bowl was never driven by recognition or awards. He said “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” became his most meaningful project because it was rooted in reconnecting with his identity, history and culture but not chasing milestones.
“I wasn’t looking for album of the year. I wasn’t looking to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show,” he said. “I was just trying to connect with my roots, connect with my people, connect with myself.”
That mindset, he said, ultimately opened the door to something larger: bringing a deeply personal expression of culture to one of the world’s biggest stages.
“You always have to be proud of who you are and where you’re from,” he said. “But don’t let that limit where you can go.”
Bad Bunny is no stranger to the Super Bowl stage. He previously appeared during the halftime show at Super Bowl LIV in 2020 alongside Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. But he said his focus has remained unchanged.
“My biggest pleasure is just to create, have fun doing it and connect with the people,” he said. “That’s what I’m always looking for every time I’m in the studio.”
When asked if he will have surprise guests, he said “That’s something I’m not going to tell you.”
Then he said he will actually have a lot of guests watching — his friends, family, “the Latino community,” and people around the world who love his music.
At the end of the interview, Bad Bunny took questions from a few student journalists, including one who asked him to name an early supporter. “My mom,” the singer replied.
“Before everything, she believed in me as a person, as a human. She believed in me, in my decisions, in my opinions,” he continued. “I think that’s what got me here, you know? Not because she believed that I was a great artist but that she believed that I am a great person.”
The Super Bowl will be held Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, with the Seattle Seahawks facing off against the New England Patriots.
The Super Bowl pregame show will open with several standout performers in Northern California: Charlie Puth will hit the stage to sing the national anthem, Brandi Carlile will take on “America the Beautiful” and Coco Jones will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
“I want them to feel inspired. I want everybody to know that music is such an amazing thing,” Puth said of his performance.
“This is pretty much the top of the top,” added Jones. “This is the bee’s knees. … It’s hard to compete. Maybe my wedding will be up there.”
The national anthem and “Lift Every Voice and Sing” will be performed by deaf performing artist Fred Beam in American Sign Language. Julian Ortiz will sign “America the Beautiful.”
Before the game, Green Day will play a set to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Super Bowl. The band, which has its roots in the Bay Area, plans to “Get loud!” according to lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong.
In a historic first, the halftime show will include a multilingual signing program featuring Puerto Rican Sign Language, led by interpreter Celimar Rivera Cosme. She was also the interpreter for Bad Bunny’s landmark residency in Puerto Rico last year that drew more than half a million fans.
All signed performances for the pregame and halftime shows will be presented in collaboration with Alexis Kashar of LOVE SIGN and Howard Rosenblum of Deaf Equality.
