Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl halftime show, the NFL announced

Grammy-winning Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny will headline next year's Super Bowl halftime show, the NFL said on Sunday, ending speculation that Taylor Swift was being lined up for the American football showpiece.

Bad Bunny, who earlier this month said he would not perform in the United States during his world tour starting in November due to concerns about US immigration raids at his concerts, will take center-stage at the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California on February 8.
