  • Apple Music's playbook for Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show
    February 3, 2026, 8:28 AM EST. Ten words guide Apple Music's approach: This isn't my halftime show; this is everyone's halftime show. The strategy treats Bad Bunny's Super Bowl slot as a global event, built on secrecy, a steady river of content and cross-border reach. Roc Nation oversees the halftime production; Apple Music builds the campaign and post-show material. The plan leans on Bad Bunny's rise since 2016, when Apple Music first placed him on a playlist, and a remembered Zane Lowe interview on a San Juan boat that underscored his charisma. The messaging centers on multilingual fans, global influence, and a collaborative, not ego-driven, spectacle.
