Kehlani already has a clear vision for Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show—and it doesn’t include any English lyrics.
The “Folded” singer shared the thought while appearing on the Billboard 2025 No. 1s livestream on Tuesday, December 9, where the conversation eventually turned to Bad Bunny’s scheduled Halftime performance at Super Bowl LX.
The game will take place on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. But rather than speculating about setlists or guest appearances, Kehlani focused on something much simpler: language.
She explained that she’s “manifesting” a fully Spanish performance from Bad Bunny (real name: Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio), regardless of how much of the audience understands it.
“He’s about to do the Super Bowl and probably not in English at all,” Kehlani said. “And that’s incredible. I don’t think he should say a single word in English at all.”
Livestream host Druski initially assumed Kehlani was hinting at insider information about the show, but she quickly clarified that she was speaking purely from hope, not knowledge. When Druski questioned how audiences would follow along, Kehlani responded plainly: “We don’t have to.”
She added that understanding every lyric has never been a requirement for enjoying Bad Bunny’s music. Even without complete comprehension, the emotion, rhythm, and cultural resonance still land.
Kehlani also used the moment to highlight Bad Bunny’s broader commitment to representing Puerto Rican culture beyond the charts. She pointed to his decision to prioritize performances in Puerto Rico over traditional mainland touring cycles, a move designed to bring economic impact back home.
“I think his commitment to uplifting his culture has been so serious,” Kehlani said. “Refusing to tour here, only touring in Puerto Rico to change the economy back home, was something super exemplary.”
Whether or not the manifestation comes true, Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl appearance is already shaping up to be one of the most culturally significant Halftime Shows in recent memory—and Kehlani is clearly ready for it, subtitles or not.
