She talked after the NFL said Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl halftime concert on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.Nicole said, “He gives bisexual vibes.

But I don’t.” Her comments sparked debate online, especially after fans accused critics of being “racist” toward Bad Bunny’s selection.

Kayla Nicole shares real thoughts on Bad Bunny after Super Bowl backlash

Kayla Nicole made her remarks around the 48:58 mark during a recent podcast appearance. She said she personally doesn’t like the “bisexual energy” she senses from the Latin rapper but added that she “gets it” for others who do. 

Nicole also tackled the online hatred, noting that racist undertones were present in most of the criticism over Bad Bunny’s halftime pick. Nicole’s relationships with Travis Kelce on and off from 2017 to 2022 and her opinions frequently grab notice because of her links to NFL culture. 

Kelce got engaged to Taylor Swift on August 26, 2025 after their breakup, therefore keeping Nicole’s name floating about sports and pop culture circles. Her new comments link two major headlines, the Super Bowl show and her own celebrity past making fans pay attention again.

Donald Trump and others react to Bad Bunny’s halftime show

The NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation announced Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known as Bad Bunny, as the Super Bowl LX halftime performer. 

Reactions came quickly. US President Donald Trump blasted the pick during a Newsmax interview, saying, “I never heard of him … It’s kind of crazy … I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”

Adding to that, Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski warned that ICE agents would be “everywhere” at the event. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also said authorities would be “all over” the stadium.

Bad Bunny finally responded on October 4, 2025, while hosting Saturday Night Live. He said, “I’m very happy. It’s an achievement for all of us,” and joked that critics should “learn Spanish before February.”

With Kayla Nicole’s blunt words and political reactions still buzzing, Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl halftime show is already one of the most talked-about events of the year.
