Simon Cowell didn’t hold back, declaring: “You bring a man in a dress to the Super Bowl? Then don’t call it a halftime show — call it a joke.” To him, the Super Bowl stage isn’t just another performance — it’s the world’s biggest stage, a showcase of talent, precision, and professionalism. That’s why he fiercely opposed the idea of Bad Bunny, an artist known for his eccentric, gender-bending fashion choices, headlining the show. He made his stance clear: “I’ve spent decades in this industry discovering real performers. If the NFL thinks this is entertainment, they’ve lost the plot. I’d rather stop watching altogether than see that spectacle. The Super Bowl deserves talent, not theatrics.” For Cowell, whose entire career has been built on demanding excellence and authenticity from artists, this isn’t about fashion — it’s about maintaining standards on one of the most prestigious stages in entertainment.
