Danica Patrick Says Bad Bunny 'Shouldn't Be Allowed' To Perform At The Super Bowl — And Gets Hit With Fiery Replies

Danica Patrick is the latest MAGA supporter to voice her displeasure over Bad Bunny performing at the 2026 Super Bowl in February.

The former race car driver made her feelings known while responding to a tweet from the conservative commentator Benny Johnson.

Johnson described the Grammy award-winning singer as a “Massive Trump hater,” an “anti-ICE activist” and someone with “no songs in English.”

“He even canceled his entire U.S. tour for this reason: ‘F***ing ICE could be outside my concert. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about,’” Johnson said on X on Sunday, before adding that “the NFL is self-destructing year after year.”

Patrick responded with “Oh fun.”

“No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America’s highest rated television events of the year… not just for sports,” she wrote.

Oh fun. 🙄

Social media answered Patrick’s tweet with some very funny responses of their own:

What are you gonna do about it? Threaten to drive nascar again?

You know America has no official language, right?

You know 41 million Americans speak Spanish, right?

You know there's a feature included in all TV broadcasts called "subtitles," RIGHT?

Of course you would take a stance like this. You clearly don’t understand how popular he is across the country and the world. Sorry we don’t have creed performing for you…the NFL went with an artist the country loves.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, was announced as the halftime performer at Super Bowl LX on Sunday, and made it clear via his own social media announcements that he intends to perform “EN ESPAÑOL.”

The “Dákiti” singer recently completed a sold-out residency in his home of Puerto Rico. His shows brought in hundreds of millions of dollars to the economy during the island’s slow season.

While he has voiced concern about performing in the U.S. because of ICE crackdowns, the entertainer clarified in a tweet on Sunday that he’s down for “one date.”

“I’ve been thinking about it these days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I’ll do just one date in the United States,” he said.
