Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show cleared after FCC investigation
No rules broken.
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show has officially been cleared. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) confirmed that no broadcast rules were violated.
The investigation began after political backlash. Some lawmakers questioned whether the performance breached public decency standards. Complaints focused on lyrics and stage visuals during Super Bowl LX.
However, the FCC found no violations. According to the agency, explicit lyrics were edited out for the live broadcast. Songs often cited in complaints, including ‘Tití Me Preguntó’ and ‘Safaera’, were censored appropriately. Because of this, regulators decided not to take further action.
The review closes weeks of public debate. Critics argued that many complaints were based on translations of lyrics that were never performed on television. Supporters said the show was carefully produced for a global audience.
The Super Bowl Halftime Show drew massive viewership. Reports estimate more than 128 million people tuned in. The performance also boosted interest in Puerto Rico. Travel searches reportedly spiked after the broadcast.
For the music industry, the decision matters. The Super Bowl stage remains one of the most scrutinised platforms in entertainment. Clearance from the FCC reinforces how tightly live broadcasts are managed.
Bad Bunny continues to be one of the most influential global artists. His halftime performance blended Reggaeton, Latin Trap and high-energy choreography. Despite controversy, the show is now officially recognised as compliant with federal standards.
With the investigation closed, attention shifts back to the music. The FCC has confirmed the performance followed broadcast rules. That ruling cements the moment as both culturally significant and regulation-approved.
