Serena Williams Reportedly “Pissed” Over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Gig: “He’s Not Built for That Stage”
“This isn’t some Spotify playlist. It’s the Super Bowl.”
In what’s becoming the spiciest off-court moment of the year, tennis legend Serena Williams is rumored to be deeply unimpressed with the NFL’s decision to name Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl LX (60) halftime performer — and if whispers from insiders are true, she didn’t hold back at all.
Multiple sources claim Serena was “blindsided and furious” after the announcement dropped, reportedly venting to close friends over a private dinner in Miami just hours after the news broke.
“She literally put her fork down mid-bite,” one insider dished. “She said, ‘Wait, who? Bad Bunny? For the halftime show?’ You could feel the temperature in the room drop.”
According to the same source, Serena questioned not just the artist’s fit but the entire selection process, suggesting that the NFL is now prioritizing “clicks and TikTok buzz” over artistry and legacy.
“She said, ‘This isn’t Coachella. This isn’t a fashion collab or some Instagram reel. This is the Super Bowl. The stage where legends stand. Prince, Beyoncé, MJ. This guy is not ready for that kind of pressure.’”
Ouch.
Though Serena hasn’t gone on the record (yet), she has been mysteriously active on social media. Fans were quick to notice that she liked a post on X (formerly Twitter) calling the announcement “a joke,” and later reposted a story with the not-so-subtle message:
“Sometimes the bar gets so low, it becomes underground.”
👀 Say what you will — that doesn’t sound like support.
“She’s Not Anti-Bad Bunny… She’s Just Pro-Excellence.”
A longtime friend of the 23-time Grand Slam winner tried to do some damage control, telling reporters:
“Serena’s not some music snob. She loves reggaetón, she works out to Latin trap, she’s got Dákiti in her gym playlist. But the Super Bowl halftime show is sacred to her. She grew up watching legends. It’s not just about popularity — it’s about impact.”
According to that same friend, Serena believes Bad Bunny hasn’t yet proven he can hold that kind of stage — live, under pressure, with hundreds of millions watching.
“She’s like, ‘Where’s the live vocals? Where’s the cultural moment? Where’s the showmanship?’ She just doesn’t think he’s earned it. Not yet.”
NFL Fans Are Split — and Twitter Is on Fire
As expected, the internet is divided.
Some fans are backing Serena:
“She’s right and she said it with her whole chest. The halftime show should be elite — not just trendy.”
Others are calling her out for being out of touch:
“Bad Bunny is a global artist with billions of streams. If anything, the NFL is finally moving into the 21st century.”
And some are just here for the drama:
“Serena vs. Bad Bunny wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card, but I’m tuned in.”
So far, Bad Bunny has remained silent, though his team reportedly “heard the noise.” Whether he responds or lets the music do the talking, only time will tell.
Meanwhile, Serena’s Not Done Talking.
One final mic-drop quote, allegedly overheard from Serena herself:
“I’ve seen high-pressure performances. I’ve lived them. The Super Bowl stage either makes you immortal… or exposes you. Good luck to him.”
