SD. “Would You Rather Have George?” 😏 Petition Demands George Strait Replace Bad Bunny as Super Bowl Halftime Performer
A new cultural showdown is brewing ahead of Super Bowl LX, and it’s got fans picking sides between Puerto Rican megastar Bad Bunny and country music legend George Strait.
A Change.org petition, now gathering thousands of signatures, calls for the NFL to replace Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime headliner with George Strait, often hailed as the “King of Country Music.”
“The Super Bowl is an American tradition,” the petition reads. “Let’s honor American culture and unity — not division. George Strait represents the heartland, the flag, and the people who built this country.”
🇺🇸 The Case for George Strait
With over 60 No. 1 hits, a record unmatched in country music history, George Strait has been a pillar of American music for over four decades. His fans argue that he embodies the timeless, family-centered values that the halftime stage has long overlooked.
“Nobody sings America like George does,” one supporter wrote. “We need real music — not political statements.”
Social media has amplified the movement with hashtags like #GeorgeForHalftime and #KingOfCountrySB60, with thousands of fans posting clips of Strait’s iconic hits such as “Amarillo by Morning” and “Check Yes or No.”
🎤 The Backlash Against Bad Bunny
The petition follows controversy surrounding the NFL’s selection of Bad Bunny for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Critics point to his political stances, explicit lyrics, and his frequent use of Spanish-language songs as reasons they feel he doesn’t represent the broader Super Bowl audience.
Others, however, defend the decision, saying Bad Bunny’s global success — including being Spotify’s most-streamed artist for three consecutive years — showcases America’s evolving cultural identity.
“The Super Bowl is about inclusion,” one fan countered online. “Bad Bunny is America in 2026 — diverse, bold, and unapologetically creative.”
🏈 A Culture Clash in the Making
This growing debate mirrors the deeper cultural divides running through American entertainment — one side calling for traditional patriotism, the other embracing global diversity.
With petitions circulating, talk shows buzzing, and fans passionately weighing in, one question echoes louder than any touchdown call:
When the lights go down at Super Bowl 60… would you rather have George?

A new petition is making waves — it’s calling for country music icon George Strait to replace Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime performer.
