        Bad Bunny's Super Bowl 2026 couldn't be gayer — bigots be damned

Conservatives who lost their minds over Bad Bunny — the biggest male pop star in the world — being chosen to headline the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show are about to find out that this year's broadcast will be much, much gayer than expected.
In the last few weeks, NFL (organizer), Apple Music (Halftime Show sponsor), and NBC (broadcast network) have been adding other singers who will also perform at the 2026 Super Bowl. Given that they aren't headliners, the general public hasn't reacted to these new names as intensely as they did for Bad Bunny headlining the Halftime Show.

Kim Petras stirred up controversy when she announced that her record label has “refused” to give her a release date for her finished album, and now other pop stars are coming forward to support her. 
In a string of revealing social media posts on Jan. 20, Petras accused Republic Records of refusing to provide a release date for her new album, tentatively called Detour, despite it being finished six months ago, and said her label has yet to pay her collaborators "for the work they’ve done.”

        Zohran Mamdani: Save a horse, play a yet-unreleased Kim Petras album

If Zohran Mamdani is a Bunhead, then Kim Petras can be an animal rights activist. That's how pop music and politics work in 2025, after all.
It didn't take long for Petras to catch wind that Mamdani had mentioned her name in a new Interview feature, going as far as noting one of his favorite tracks for the singer — "I Like Ur Look" — which is a pretty recent release for the Grammy-winning musician. (For context, BunHead is the name of a label that Petras created for herself to release music independently. The name/term was then assigned to Petras's fans, similarly to how Lady Gaga has Little Monsters.)
