Josh Allen Defends Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Performance: "Music Should Bring Us All Together"
Posted October 9, 2025
“Music isn’t about dividing us—it’s about uniting us,” says Allen as he supports Bad Bunny’s halftime show ahead of Super Bowl 2026.
As the excitement for Super Bowl 2026 builds, the announcement of Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar
Bad Bunny as the halftime show headliner has sparked passionate debates across both the sports and music worlds. Among those stepping up in defense of the artist is Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen
, who is emphasizing the power of music to unite people from all walks of life and transcend cultural divides.
Bad Bunny, who has become one of the most influential figures in global music, is set to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in February 2026. However, his inclusion has sparked controversy, particularly from critics like former racecar driver
Danica Patrick, who voiced concerns about Bad Bunny performing in Spanish. Patrick, known for her outspoken opinions, tweeted that no songs in Spanish should be allowed at one of America’s most-watched TV events. "No songs in English should be allowed at one of America’s highest-rated television events of the year," Patrick posted, with an eye-roll emoji. She even shared a video accusing Bad Bunny of being a "demonic Marxist," which quickly drew backlash from fans and celebrities alike.
In response to the criticism, Josh Allen defended Bad Bunny’s performance, stressing the unifying nature of music. "Music has always been about connection," Allen said. "It’s about bringing people together, not dividing them. Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl isn’t just for people who speak Spanish—it’s for everyone. It’s about celebrating culture, celebrating music, and showing that even though we come from different backgrounds, we can all be united by the power of music."
Allen further emphasized that the Super Bowl is a global event, watched by millions around the world, and should reflect the diversity of its audience. “The Super Bowl is not just for one group of people; it’s for everyone,” Allen added. “It’s an opportunity to celebrate the diverse cultures that make up this country and the world. Bad Bunny is bringing his culture to a stage that reaches people everywhere, and that’s something we should embrace.”
The controversy intensified when Bad Bunny revealed that he would avoid performing in the continental U.S. during his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, citing concerns about the political climate and the increase in ICE activity under the previous administration. Despite this, the Super Bowl remains an exception, providing Bad Bunny with the chance to perform on one of the world’s biggest stages.
For Allen, the essence of music is simple: its ability to bring people together, no matter their background. "At the end of the day, music speaks to everyone, regardless of the language it’s in," Allen concluded. "Bad Bunny’s performance is a celebration of who he is, where he comes from, and the culture he represents. That’s something that should be respected. It’s a chance to bring people together through music, and that’s what the Super Bowl is all about."
As Super Bowl 2026 approaches, Allen’s comments highlight the importance of inclusivity and unity. By defending Bad Bunny, Allen reminds fans that music should serve as a unifying force, bridging cultural divides and encouraging everyone to embrace diversity and celebrate what unites us all.
Potential Titans trade deadline plans would be a nightmare scenario for Cam Ward
The Tennessee Titans are enduring a worst-case scenario season in 2025. They have been a train wreck in nearly every facet, and even rookie quarterback Cam Ward could not help himself when giving his honest assessment of the team.
All fans are waiting on the inevitable announcement of Brian Callahan's firing, which is virtually guaranteed to happen at some point. Fans are also anxiously waiting to see what players get dealt at the upcoming trade deadline, as the Titans are assured to be aggressive sellers.
They already traded Jarvis Brownlee for little return, which, given Mike Borgonzi's offseason moves, is another telling sign of what he thinks of players acquired by previous GM Ran Carthon. While the Titans will keep exploring opportunities to acquire draft capital, Kevin Zeitler is one player who should virtually be off limits.
Titans have to resist urge to trade veteran guard Kevin Zeitler at the deadline
The Titans signed Zeitler in the offseason to bolster their offensive line. Unfortunately, the whole unit has still struggled to start the season. Granted, they have been held back by injuries and difficult assignments, so it is one of the few areas on the team that truly has yet to get a fair opportunity to prove themselves.
Regardless, Zeitler has been a steady performer. The offensive line missed him dearly when he missed Week 3 due to injury. Zeitler is an excellent player on a one-year contract who could draw interest from Super Bowl contenders as the trade deadline approaches, but the Titans should be extremely reluctant to move him.
This season is about developing Ward and ensuring he is put in the best possible position to succeed. The Titans have already failed to support him adequately, so getting worse on the offensive line shouldn't be under consideration. Getting rid of Zeitler puts Ward in an even worse situation than he already finds himself in.
The only possible upside to trading Zeitler would be getting rookie Jackson Slater some experience before he's counted on to potentially be a starter next season. It is highly unlikely that Slater is far along enough in his development to replace Zeitler immediately. It would probably go poorly.
You also have to consider what the return for Zeitler might be. If he were to fetch back a top-100 pick, then the Titans might strongly consider that. But realistically speaking, a 35-year-old guard on an expiring contract is unlikely to command such a high asking price.
The Titans would be much better off keeping Zeitler and letting him adequately protect Ward. They should think long and hard about trading any offensive player who would negatively impact Ward's development. Of all the realistic candidates they should not trade, Zeitler tops the list.
