As Bad Bunny prepares to take the stage for the Super Bowl LX halftime show, the Grammy-winning artist is receiving an outpouring of support from fellow stars, including Jennifer Lopez, who shared an encouraging message ahead of his highly anticipated performance.

On Sunday, Lopez posted a photo of herself with the Puerto Rican superstar on Instagram, writing, “sending you all the love, positivity and the biggest hug in the world! We are all behind you tonight.”

The singer and actress is just one of several celebrities rallying around Bad Bunny ahead of his Super Bowl moment, which comes shortly after his major success at the 2026 Grammy Awards.

Katy Perry, who headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2015, also showed her support on X, writing, “you got this @sanbenito remind the world what the real American dream looks like.”

Other artists and public figures have echoed similar sentiments in the days leading up to the performance, praising Bad Bunny’s global influence and the cultural significance of his appearance on one of the world’s biggest stages.

Even the NFL has weighed in ahead of the show. Commissioner Roger Goodell said earlier in the week that he believed Bad Bunny understood the platform that comes with the halftime show and was hopeful the artist would unite fans rather than divide them. Former NFL star Robert Griffin III shared the same outlook.

“One thing I know Bad Bunny can do is that he can all make us tap our feet and shake our booties. I want him to go out there and unite people with music,” Griffin told Fox News Digital on Saturday night ahead of Sports Illustrated’s Super Bowl party.
