Bad Bunny, Kid Rock Rock Halftime; YouTube Hides Lyrics

YouTube Music users are now facing limited access to song lyrics, while New York lawmakers are considering bills to regulate the AI industry, and the Super Bowl saw both a performance by Bad Bunny and an alternative halftime show headlined by Kid Rock. These events occurred on February 8, 2026, and represent a range of developments in entertainment, technology, and politics.

According to multiple reports, free YouTube Music accounts are now seeing their access to lyrics restricted. Google had previously tested lyrics as an exclusive feature for Premium users, but the rollout appears to be wider now. Free users may be limited to viewing lyrics for only five songs per month. The Verge reached out to Google for confirmation.

Meanwhile, New York's state legislature is considering two bills aimed at regulating the AI industry. One bill, the New York Fundamental Artificial Intelligence Requirements in News Act (NY FAIR News Act), would require labels on AI-generated content. The second bill proposes a three-year pause on new data center construction. AI data centers are becoming a bipartisan concern, according to The Verge.

Super Bowl LX featured a halftime performance by Bad Bunny, who aimed to transform the field at Levis Stadium into his home of Puerto Rico. The logistics of the show were handled by Bruce and Shelley Rodgers of Tribe Inc. However, another performance occurred simultaneously, headlined by Kid Rock. This alternative halftime program, organized by Turning Point USA, also featured country musicians Brantley Gilbert, Gabby Barrett, and Lee Brice. The show began with a guitar solo of the "Star Spangled Banner." Kid Rock played last, according to NPR News.
