Bad Bunny headlined the Super Bowl LX halftime show nominated for Variety Special (Live). The Puerto Rican rapper and singer performed at Super Bowl LX, bringing his Latin trap and reggaeton sound to the NFL’s biggest stage.
The nomination concerns the televised halftime production and its creative team, not an acting or music award for Bad Bunny personally. That distinction can cause confusion: quiz questions often identify a nominated special by its most visible performer, while the official Emmy credit may list executive producers and other production personnel.
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, became a global star through albums such as X 100PRE, YHLQMDLG, and Un Verano Sin Ti. His Super Bowl appearance also continued the event’s growing use of internationally influential pop and Latin artists.
The other choices are major halftime performers, but they did not headline Super Bowl LX: Usher performed at Super Bowl LVIII, while Beyoncé and Taylor Swift have not headlined a Super Bowl halftime show.
