'Where do I sign?': Petition urges Super Bowl to swap Bad Bunny for Nickelback in 2026

After the official announcement that global superstar Bad Bunny will host the Apple Music Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show, scheduled for February 8, 2026, in Santa Clara, California, it has ignited a backlash online.

Now the NFL fans are weighing in far beyond the NFL’s typical music-choice buzz.

However, Bad Bunny’s confirmation has come as a milestone moment for a Spanish-language artist at the Super Bowl Halftime, which is considered the world’s most viewed show.

One of the largest petitions pressed the NFL to swap Bad Bunny with country legend George Strait, citing a wish for a “more traditional” halftime show.

Fans are demanding that the show should look more “family-friendly” or mainstream, while supporters point out the global stardom Bad Bunny carries with himself.

Amid all the chaos, a viral tweet claimed fans launched a petition to swap Bad Bunny with Nickelback, igniting reactions across social media platforms.

The debate surrounding the Super Bowl LX Halftime show reflects something deeper than typical fan buzz.

While George Strait's petition, known as the “king of country," highlights a wave of conservative backlash.

While the Nickelback debate has become a viral sensation, spotlighting how humor wrapped in nostalgia shapes pop culture events in the digital space.
