Never one to spare punches, Shakira has offered her unfiltered opinion on the NFL’s selection for the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. NFL fans have also been speaking their mind and threatening to boycott the Super Bowl 60 halftime show.

Along with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and Apple Music, the league revealed that Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny will headline in Santa Clara next February. This follows Kendrick Lamar’s excellent but controversial performance earlier this year in the Eagles-Chiefs showdown in New Orleans.

Bad Bunny’s selection is probably the most polarizing in Super Bowl halftime history, not least because of what he’s said about America and President Donald Trump recently.

There are also concerns over most of his music being in Spanish, leading many to point out that they can hardly sing along.

Shakira is, of course, Spanish herself. Hailed as the “Queen of Latin music,” the Colombian will have no difficulty keeping pace with Bad Bunny. At the same time, he entertains the Levi’s Stadium crowd and has told Variety, “It’s about time!”

The 48-year-old, who was not long ago rumored to be dating NBA star Jimmy Butler, with the forward later forced to clarify the boundaries of their relationship, claimed to be proud of the Puerto Rican.

She lauded his representation of Latin culture and his help in making Spanish music a universal brand.

“I remember when we did ours that even having part of our set in Spanish was a bold move … Acceptance of Spanish-language music as part of the mainstream has come so far from when I started,” she said.

Bad Bunny was only behind Taylor Swift and The Weeknd in worldwide streams last year.

He was a guest performer when Shakira and Jennifer Lopez headlined the halftime show in 2020.

“I can’t wait to watch it!” the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ artist said of BB’s upcoming performance.

Apart from the political and language-barrier complaints, the NFL has also been accused of pushing an LGBTQ agenda by making Bad Bunny the halftime spectacle for 2026.

Shakira clearly doesn’t feel that way.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
