3 U.S. States Filed Most Complaints About Bad Bunny's Halftime Show
More than 2,000 complaints were filed to the FCC over Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX Halftime Show in Santa Clara, California.
Bad Bunny, picked by the NFL as the Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show performer back in September of 2025, led a 15-minute long performance inside of Levi's Stadium in early February.
It resulted in some complaints.
Bad Bunny, though, was very proud of his performance. Roger Goodell stood by him, too.
"He's one of the most popular entertainers in the world," Goodell told reporters at a news conference before Super Bowl 60. "... It's carefully thought through. I'm not sure we've ever selected an artist where we didn't have some blowback or criticism. ... We're confident it's going to be a great show.
"I think it's going to be exciting and a united moment."
Ultimately, though, several U.S. states filed complaints about Bad Bunny's performance, expressing serious anger.
The Federal Communications Commission received more than 2,000 complaints about the performance. One complainer wrote that Bad Bunny's performance was a "violent horror advertisement during family broadcast."
Another wrote: "There were children watching this. It was horrible and shocking that this would be allowed. Very indecent! This is not okay or normal."
One shared: "I can't believe that was even allowed. Absolutely disgusting! I would NEVER allow my children to watch so much suggestive garbage. so much for an all American sport and entertainment. that was disgraceful, inappropriate and disgusting!!!! at least the 5 seconds i watched because i was so offended."
3 U.S. states filed the most complaints
Ultimately, three U.S. states filed the most complaints about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show:
- Texas - 226 complaints
- Florida - 182 complaints
- California - 156 complaints
Texans were by far the most angered.
"I, as I am sure millions of other Americans, feel the same that the halftime show lyrics, though not in English, were highly inappropriate for any viewing audience," one Houston viewer wrote. "It is as if, since it was said in a different language that it will fly, as a large majority of the viewing audience did not understand what was being said. This was magnitudes worse than the Timberlake/Janet Jackson show that ended up changing TV and radio since."
