Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre just shared his pick for the Super Bowl Halftime Show — and it’s not Bad Bunny. During the Monday, November 10, episode of his “4th and Favre” podcast, the former Green Bay Packers quarterback suggested country singer Jason Aldean headline the country’s most watched sporting event. “You know, someone who loves this country and that everyone can relate to. I think Jason Aldean right now is as big a patriot and has a great voice,” he said. Aldean and his wife Brittany are vocal supporters of President Donald Trump, and the pair recently presented the inaugural Charlie Kirk Legacy Award at the Fox Nation Patriot Awards to the slain political influencer’s widow Erika Kirk.

The Puerto Rican star will make history as the first male Latin artist to headline the halftime show. However, in the two months following the announcement, the artist has been met with intense backlash — including from former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick. “Oh fun,” she wrote on X after the announcement with an eye roll emoji. “No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America’s highest rated television events of the year… not just for sports.” RELATED: Fans Call Out Danica Patrick for Using Bad Bunny Song Before Bashing Him Online In protest of Bad Bunny’s halftime, Charlie Kirk’s organization Turning Point USA will host their own “All American” Super Bowl Halftime Show headlined by Kid Rock. The Grammy-winning musician addressed the criticism from Patrick, Turning Point USA, and others during his opening monologue while hosting the Saturday, Oct. 4 episode of Saturday Night Live. “I’m very excited to be doing the Super Bowl, and I know that people all around the world who love my music are also happy,” Bad Bunny said in English, before switching to his native Spanish: “Especially all the Latinos and Latinas across the world, and here, in the United States, all those who have worked to open doors,” he said at the time. “It’s more than an achievement for myself, it’s an achievement for all of us,” he continued. “It shows our footprint, and our contribution to this country, that no one will ever be able to take away or erase.” RELATED: Every Celebrity Who’s Cheering On Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Despite the backlash, Bad Bunny has received support from artists like Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Jay-Z, and more.
