Travis Kelce Blasts NFL for Picking Bad Bunny as Super Bowl Halftime Performer
Travis Kelce Blasts NFL for Picking Bad Bunny as Super Bowl Halftime Performer
In a bold and unexpected rant that has fans buzzing, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has come out swinging against the NFL for choosing Bad Bunny as the halftime performer for Super Bowl LX. The revelation, which has sparked a wave of reactions, sees Kelce questioning the league’s direction for its biggest stage, adding fuel to an already heated debate on the halftime show’s role in the game.
Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican reggaeton sensation boasting over 50 million monthly Spotify listeners, will take the stage for the halftime extravaganza, following in the footsteps of global icons like Usher and The Weeknd. The pick is meant to infuse cultural flair into the spectacle, promising a vibrant set that highlights Latin music’s global appeal. Yet, Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion and one of the NFL’s most charismatic personalities, sees it as a misfire, insisting it undermines the sport’s purity.
Kelce dropped his critique in a recent appearance on his podcast, New Heights, igniting immediate backlash and support. His remarks come as the NFL pushes to broaden its reach, but the tight end argues the halftime should celebrate football’s heritage over entertainment. The controversy has split the fanbase, with some cheering his old-school vibe and others slamming him for cultural snobbery.
In his no-holds-barred takedown, Kelce laid it all out, saying, “I don’t even know who he is; I just heard he’s all about flashy outfits that make people uncomfortable. If possible, let Taylor take the mic; otherwise, make it a pure football moment. During that time, instead of shows, they should replay meaningful NFL historical footage.” His shoutout to girlfriend Taylor Swift has only amplified the buzz on X, where #KelceSpeaks is clashing with #BadBunnyBowl as supporters push for a halftime honoring the game’s icons.
The NFL remains silent, but the uproar has exposed rifts between the league’s entertainment ambitions and its diehard supporters. As Super Bowl LX draws near, Kelce’s takedown injects drama, possibly swaying future lineups. With the Chiefs eyeing another ring, is this sideline noise a distraction or a rallying cry? And the name behind this unfiltered shot? None other than Travis Kelce, the voice shaking up the NFL’s spotlight.
