Sorry, Swifties, but you won’t see Bad Blood at the Super Bowl next year. Instead, you’ll see Bad Bunny.

The Puerto Rican singer and rapper, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, was confirmed on Monday as the headliner for the NFL’s game of games at California’s Levi’s Stadium on February 8, crushing rumours that pop juggernaut Taylor Swift could take the field.

“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” Bunny said in a statement obtained by Billboard. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards, so I could come in and score a touchdown … this is for my people, my culture and our history. [In Spanish] Go tell your grandma we’re going to be the Super Bowl Halftime Show.”

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell this month said on the US Today show that he would “always love to have Taylor [Swift] play” at the halftime show.
