"A chorus of conservative complaints flooded the internet after the NFL announced Bad Bunny would perform at the Super Bowl's halftime show. The Puerto Rican artist, whose real name is Benito Ocasio, is set to perform at the American Football event in February 2026. Republicans, furious that the singer and LGBTQ+ ally was given the spot, called for a boycott of the event, branding Ocasio as "satanic.""
"The account wrote in alternating capitals, a sign of mockery in online spaces: "I'm boycotting the Super Bowl because Bad Bunny dressed in drag," in a post showing a viral picture of JD Vance seemingly dressed in drag. The picture, showing Vance wearing a skirt, a blonde wig, and make-up, was taken during his time at Yale University in 2012."

A Vance spokesperson described the image as a college party "bad wig." The press office also taunted other MAGA critics who complained.
