Bad Bunny delivered a powerful performance during the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California, but online speculation that a young boy receiving a Grammy from the artist was Liam Conejo Ramos proved incorrect, according to NPR News. The performance, which included the singer handing a Grammy to a young Latino boy while saying "Cree siempre en ti" ("always believe in yourself"), was a highlight of the show.
The Super Bowl, which featured a Seahawks-Patriots rematch, drew a star-studded audience and was broadcast on NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock, according to multiple sources compiled by Variety. The Seahawks were leading in the fourth quarter. The halftime show was rooted in place, history, politics, and joy, according to Vox.
While Bad Bunny entertained the mainstream audience, Kid Rock and friends, including Brantley Gilbert, put on a competing halftime show for a different audience, drawing millions of viewers online, according to NPR News. This alternative performance, organized by Turning Point USA, offered a patriotic and country-infused alternative to the mainstream spectacle, sparking a cultural conversation about audience preferences.
Beyond the game and the performances, other major news stories included Crypto.com's record-breaking $70 million purchase of AI.com, reflecting a significant investment in AI, and the start of the Milan Winter Olympics, as reported by Vox and Variety. Pokémon's 30th-anniversary ad also made headlines, according to Variety.
