Imagine spending your whole career building:

4–6 albums

dozens of hits

iconic fan favorites

…and then the NFL goes:
“Cool. You’ve got 13 minutes. Go.”

It’s brutal.

Artists can’t perform full songs, so everything becomes a hyper-speed medley. Verses get chopped. Choruses get shortened. Bridges disappear. It’s basically:

hook → hook → beat drop → next song → surprise guest → fireworks → sprint off stage

Rihanna described it perfectly — trying to squeeze a two-hour concert into 13 minutes feels like running a marathon while someone keeps yelling “FASTER.”

For someone like Bad Bunny with a huge catalog? Expect rapid-fire transitions and maybe 20–30 seconds of each hit.

Blink and you’ll miss one.

🚫 Rule #2: Keep it PG (or else… lawsuits)
This one exists for very obvious reasons:
The Super Bowl is one of the most watched broadcasts on Earth, and families are watching together.

So:

No swearing

No obscene gestures

No “questionable” choreography

No explicit lyrics

Basically… grandma-safe.

And the NFL does not play around.

Remember when M.I.A. casually flipped off the camera during Madonna’s set?

That tiny two-second gesture?
Yeah — it triggered:

hundreds of complaints

a public apology

a $16.6 million lawsuit

SIXTEEN. MILLION. DOLLARS.

For a finger.

Imagine getting sued for the price of a mansion because your hand slipped 😭

So yeah… artists rehearse every second to avoid accidents.Plus the cultural moment of having a Spanish-language artist headline the Super Bowl?

Huge.

You just know:

dancers

reggaeton transitions

surprise guests

insane visuals

It’s going to feel less like a show and more like a 13-minute party.
