FCC Clears Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show of Decency Violations

The agency based its decision on the aired content, finding edited lyrics with no explicit language.

Overview

  • The FCC closed its review of the Super Bowl LX halftime broadcast and found no breach of federal decency rules.
  • No fines or sanctions will be issued to Bad Bunny, the NFL, or the broadcaster.
  • Regulators evaluated only what was transmitted live, confirming songs such as "Tití Me Preguntó," "Monaco" and "Safaera" aired in edited form without explicit references.
  • Formal complaints from Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Andy Ogles and Rep. Randy Fine, prompted the scrutiny.
  • The telecast averaged roughly 128 million U.S. viewers, and a Yahoo!/YouGov poll found 42% said Bad Bunny represents the United States better than Donald Trump at 39%, with viewers largely supportive of the Spanish-language performance.
