Chiefs TE Travis Kelce will be excited about the Super Bowl LX halftime show, and it has nothing to do with Taylor Swift

The Super Bowl LX halftime performer has just been announced, and it's someone Travis Kelce is certainly a fan of. However, it has nothing to do with his fiancée, Taylor Swift.

On Sunday Night, during the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers matchup, it was announced that Bad Bunny will be headlining one of the biggest events of the year, taking the stage in Santa Clara on Feb. 8, 2026.

And that could be a good omen for the Kansas City Chiefs, considering Kelce's recent work with the 31-year-old rapper.

Both had roles in Adam Sandler's "Happy Gilmore 2," and actually filmed a scene together. And it's one that nobody is going to forget about.

Specifically, in it, Bad Bunny’s character, Oscar, is hired by Happy Gilmore as a caddy after being fired from his restaurant job by Kelce’s character, The Waiter. In one scene, Sandler’s character, Happy, tells Oscar to go to his “happy place,” which shows The Waiter tied to a pole wearing only an apron, being covered in honey to be eaten by a bear.

Netflix even shared some behind-the-scenes footage of how this viral moment came to be.

Sandler also raved about the duo's performance in his movie when speaking with PEOPLE before the release.

“Travis and Bunny are ridiculous in it,” Sandler said. “Can’t believe they’re my buddies now.”

Will Bad Bunny's performance involve some honey? Who knows! But considering the artist is already friends with Kelce, it could mean good things are in store for the Chiefs going forward despite their slower start to the season.

Bad Bunny reacts to the news

Bad Bunny reacted to the news in a statement shared by Jay-Z and his company Roc Nation.

"What Benito has done and continues to do for Puerto Rico is truly inspiring. We are honored to have him on the world's biggest stage," Jay-Z first said.

“What I'm feeling goes beyond myself," Bad Bunny added, via PEOPLE. "It's for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”
