Bad Bunny Hints at Super Bowl Setlist After Grammys Surprise
Bad Bunny may have been playfully tricked into giving a sneak peek of his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show performance at the 2026 Grammys. Despite contractual obligations preventing him from performing before the big game, the artist couldn’t resist joining host Trevor Noah for an impromptu rendition of his hit “DtMF.”
The moment occurred after Bad Bunny accepted the award for best música urbana album and delivered a passionate speech about immigration rights. Noah acknowledged the speech, telling Bunny, “Hey, by the way, that was beautiful. I saw you up there, I heard what you said. It was really impactful.” He then jokingly asked, “I know you can’t contractually sing, but we’re gonna witness you at the Super Bowl, and you can’t perform anywhere else before? Don’t you get jealous seeing everyone else?”
Smiling, Bad Bunny responded, “Maybe a little bit.” Noah then quoted a line from “DtMF” in English – “That’s how my song sounds in English?” – prompting Bad Bunny to launch into the song’s lyrics: “Y si hoy me emborracho, pues, que me ayuden.” Billboard reports the performance was accompanied by a big brass band from Bunny’s table.
Another track likely to feature in the Super Bowl setlist is “Baile Inolvidable,” a recent hit from his Grammy-winning album that incorporates a salsa influence. The performance highlights the artist’s growing global influence and willingness to experiment with different musical styles.
Fans are also anticipating other fan favorites like “La Mudanza,” which Bad Bunny opened his world tour with, and songs like “Efecto,” “Dakiti,” and “Callaita.” He may also perform “Nueva Yol,” a track with a music video that defends immigrants and criticizes former President Donald Trump, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The inclusion of politically charged songs could add another layer of meaning to his highly anticipated performance.
The Super Bowl halftime show is a major cultural moment, and Bad Bunny’s setlist is expected to reflect both his chart-topping hits and his commitment to social issues. Entertainment Weekly detailed how Noah managed to convince the artist to perform at the Grammys despite the contractual restrictions.
