Ahead of the Big Game, the Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors shared their halftime show predictions. One of the biggest questions leading to the event is: Who will the Puerto Rican artist invite as a surprise guest to his performance?
“Many Puerto Ricans, if not all of them, but at least all of the old-school acts like Jowell & Randy and De La Ghetto,” Ingrid Fajardo, Billboard’s senior Latin social media manager, guessed.
Billboard’s Jessica Roiz agreed: “I would love to see Chencho [Corlene], Arcángel, Daddy Yankee, because these are artists that have not only collaborated with Bad Bunny, but really paved the way for the movement and are pioneers of the genre. Thanks to them, we have someone like Bad Bunny.”

Billboard Español’s Isabela Raygoza, on the other hand, predicts that Benito will invite Puerto Rican newcomers RaiNao and Chuwi, and perhaps even extend an invitation to Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, who had him as a guest during their Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2020.
Meanwhile, Sigal Ratner-Arias, deputy editor of Billboard Español, thinks Drake can be the big surprise of the evening. “Especially the year after the beef with Kendrick Lamar, and Kendrick headlining the Super Bowl. It would show his support to his friend. They’ve done a few collaborations, so it wouldn’t be crazy to think he would bring him, especially after [Bad Bunny] said that he would like to have him at la casita in Puerto Rico,” she noted.
In an extended video prediction, which you can watch above, the team also predicts which songs Bad Bunny will begin and end his show with, whether he will take la casita from his tour to the football field and if he will make any political and fashion statements on stage.
