FCC Clears Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show After Review

Regulators concluded the aired songs had explicit language removed, leaving no basis for enforcement.

Overview

  • The FCC said it found no indecency violations and has shelved further scrutiny barring new evidence following Republican complaints about the performance.
  • Officials noted the broadcast versions of “Tití Me Preguntó,” “Monaco,” and “Safaera” were scrubbed of references to sex acts and genitalia, with translations offering insufficient grounds for action.
  • The halftime slot averaged about 128.2 million U.S. viewers and generated billions of social views, placing it among the most watched halftime shows.
  • Political reaction continued, with President Trump condemning the set and Barack Obama praising it as a unifying, non-preachy display.
  • Expedia reported a 245% spike in flight searches to Puerto Rico after the show, while Turning Point USA’s alternative event reportedly drew roughly 6 million viewers.
