Bad Bunny will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show on Sunday, Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara — and the biggest conversation now is who will share the stage with him. The choice of guests could determine whether the set becomes a landmark moment for Latin music on a global broadcast or a tightly focused solo statement.
How guest choices shape the show
Halftime sets run roughly a dozen to 15 minutes, which means any additional performers must be tightly scripted. A well-chosen collaborator can broaden the program’s reach, add standout moments, and create cross-generational appeal; a mismatch can fragment the flow and dilute the headliner’s narrative.

Beyond creative fit, practical factors — rehearsal time, touring schedules and broadcast staging — will strongly influence who appears. Many names have surfaced in conversations among fans and industry insiders; here are the most plausible options, with reasons they make sense for the moment.
Top guest predictions
- Cardi B — A commercial and cultural fit: she and Bad Bunny share a high-profile hit and have performed together before, making her an obvious partner for a big, crowd-pleasing number.
- Jennifer Lopez and Shakira — Reuniting with either or both would echo their previous Super Bowl co-headline and amplify the halftime show’s Latin music narrative, especially if the set includes crossover anthems.
- Rauw Alejandro — A recent collaborator whose live chemistry with Bad Bunny has been visible on big stages; his presence would reinforce the reggaeton/dance element of the program.
- Marc Anthony — Adding salsa and a different generational voice, Anthony could bridge older Latin music traditions with today’s urban styles.
- Ivy Queen — As an acknowledged influence on Bad Bunny and a reggaeton pioneer, her appearance would be a strong nod to the genre’s roots and its women artists.
- Residency guests (Ozuna, Feid, Arcángel, Nicky Jam, The Marías) — Several artists who joined him on his Puerto Rican residency are natural short-form collaborators for medleys or quick turnarounds on the field.
At-a-glance: likely collaborators and what they’d bring
| Performer | Role / Likely Song | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Cardi B | Feature on a hit verse or medley | Proven chart chemistry and high-energy stage presence |
| J Lo / Shakira | Shared spotlight or brief duet | Historic Super Bowl connection and cross-generational recognition |
| Rauw Alejandro | Duet/dual lead on reggaeton tracks | Recent collaborations and compatible performance style |
| Marc Anthony | Short salsa segment or collaborative bridge | Adds musical breadth and honors Latin music traditions |
Other names to watch
Industry insiders point to veteran figures and genre staples as possible surprise appearances: reggaeton trailblazers, salsa icons and fellow Puerto Rican acts who appeared during his residency. Such guests would underscore a broader cultural statement rather than a single-genre showcase.
There are trade-offs. Bringing multiple marquee names can generate headlines and streaming spikes, but it also compresses time for each artist and raises production complexity. Conversely, a more focused, largely solo set would center Bad Bunny’s artistic vision and staging.
Whatever the lineup, the halftime show will be judged on its ability to translate the energy of a concert stage into a 15-minute television event that resonates globally. For viewers and the music industry alike, the stakes are clear: this is an opportunity to showcase Latin music at one of the world’s largest live-broadcast moments.
