00:08Critics of the NFL's choice to select superstar Bad Bunny to perform during the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show

00:14are putting their support behind a different artist.

00:17A petition on Change.org has surfaced in an effort to replace Bad Bunny 31 with country music legend George Strait.

00:24The Super Bowl Halftime Show is one of the most watched music performances worldwide,

00:29celebrating not just the sport, but the cultural tapestry of America.

00:34The petition reads,

00:35In recent years, this performance has leaned increasingly towards modern pop and international artists.

00:41While this approach certainly broadens the audience,

00:44it's pivotal to remember the roots that have made American music what it is today.

00:49Bad Bunny, a native of Puerto Rico, which is a territory of the United States,

00:53sings primarily in Spanish and encouraged NFL viewers to learn Spanish before the big event

00:58during his hosting appearance on Saturday Night Live earlier this month.

01:02The Super Bowl Halftime Show should unite our country,

01:04honor American culture, and remain family-friendly,

01:07not be turned into a political stunt.

01:09The petition continues.

01:11Bad Bunny represents none of these values.

01:13His drag performances and style are the opposite of what families expect on football's biggest stage.

01:19Again, George Strait embodies unity, tradition, and the timeless American music

01:24that truly deserves the 2026 Super Bowl spotlight.

01:28While it's unclear if Strait 73 is available for the February 8, 2026 event,

01:34or if he's even interested in taking center stage,

01:37more than 35,000 of his fans have signed the petition in favor of the swap.

01:42At the end of the day, the petition could reach millions of signatures,

01:45but the decision remains in the hands of Jay-Z, his company Roc Nation, and the NFL.
