LDT “Fans Launch Major Petition to Replace Bad Bunny with George Strait at Super Bowl 2026”
A grassroots movement among country music fans is gaining national attention as tens of thousands call for a major Super Bowl shake-up. More than 40,000 people have reportedly signed a fast-growing online petition urging the NFL to replace Bad Bunny with George Strait as the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Supporters of the petition argue that Strait — known as the “King of Country” — would represent traditional American music and appeal to a broader audience. The campaign, which began circulating on social media earlier this week, has quickly gained traction across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Facebook.
Fans cite Strait’s decades-long career, his 60-plus No. 1 hits, and his reputation for timeless performances as reasons he deserves the coveted halftime slot. “It’s time to bring real country music to the biggest stage in the world,” one supporter wrote.
The NFL and halftime show organizers have not responded to the petition. Bad Bunny, confirmed as the 2026 headliner earlier this month, continues to generate both excitement and debate, with fans split over the league’s decision to feature a global Latin superstar over a country legend.
Whether or not the campaign changes the lineup, one thing is certain — the Super Bowl halftime stage remains one of the most passionately discussed platforms in entertainment.
