analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio because right now we're playing the trailer for bad bunny's announcement for the 2026 super bowl halftime show now with that being said that's essentially the trailer for bad bunny announcing that he will be a part of the super bowl halftime show and the first thing i was thinking to myself but then you know Because at the end of the day, when you think about the different type of bunnies that the NFL was trying to accomplish, how ironic that they ended up with bad bunny. You guys. See, that's the problem. Now, if you don't know what I'm talking about, obviously when it comes to the Super Bowl, neither of them will comment on this.

But as far as reports, Taylor Swift ended up turning down the Super Bowl and Adele. and when it gets interesting is when you specifically focus on Taylor Swift as reports came out that she was demanding certain things that the NFL refused such as payment ownership of performance and promotional rights because if you don't know people people perform on the Super Bowl stage for free if you didn't know well now you know but Taylor Swift wasn't having any of that as obviously over here and at a little or at notorious mass effect of course for myself calling myself analytic dreams we have to get into analytics as it was ironically very dreamlike as taylor swift boosted the NFL to approximately 331 million

dollars to the point where merch sales viewership media exposure all of that was uplifted by the one and only taylor swift which is why i consistently say that she is the biggest gangster the industry because as far as exposure and engagement, she's unequivocally the biggest artist in the music industry. Now that out the way, as far as NFL and Taylor Swift, viewership, 123.7 million total viewers and it surged up 8% from 2023. And among that, it was women slash of girls that helped out that metric majority as 58.8 million women tuned in, which is a 9% increase in the highest ever for women. So when you look at Taylor Swift's impact on the NFL specifically, and you look at them announcing that she may have turned down the Super Bowl yet again,

because they've been asked her, right? If you have the biggest music musician in the world, and she hasn't been on the Super Bowl stage, safe to say that she's, you know, the higher-ups at the NFL have already thought about inviting Taylor Swift. She just declined it. And diving into it further, when it comes to Taylor Swift's leverage and the numbers that already went over, she was won in compensation because of her already objectively seeing the metrics as far as how people was turning out to come to Kansas City games, well, the Chiefs games. And of course, the NFL viewership in general, as far as people watching from home. And when you look at the beauty and health brands that targeted the NFL because of her bringing her demo to their viewership pool, you come to realize that not only did Taylor Swift help out the NFL viewership, but she helped out specifically with a audience that the NFL lack, right? So anyways, with the Taylor Swift glazed out of the way.

the main thing i was wanting to get into is of course the details surrounding bad bunny performing at the super bowl halftime show because when it comes to the twenty twenty six super bowl half time show we all know that j z is ultimately over the entertainment portion of the NFL and usually i have the actual title that he has let me see NFL position let me see so what is they're going to say like tied in hold up now pulse you guys see that's the problem that was a ditty joke anyways when he when he calls the jz uh he is involved with NFL as the head of rock nation's partnership which includes producing the super bowl half-time show and under this partnership rock nation serves as the NFL's live music entertainment

strategies so if you wonder or you wonder why size seven i mean Kendrick lamar was able to perform the pedify anthem on one of the biggest stages in sports Well, now you know, it's not, it's safe to say that just maybe, you know, my sources are I made it up, right? But just maybe, Drake and Jay-Z might be at odds at this very moment. You guys, see, that's the problem. And when it comes to that, you've had the weekend perform on the stage. You've had Kendrick perform not once, but twice, because don't forget, he popped up on the Dr. Drake Super Bowl performance.

And then you come to realize that now. only did Kendrick end up performing the pedophile anthem on the biggest stage in sports, but then when you look at Jay-Z in general, as far as him going out of the way to have certain acts on the Super Bowl stage, it's very commendable in my opinion. But of course, once you have a performance like that, now the NFL steps in. They're like, hold them now. Hold on now. We got to get another artist that's going to be more palatable to the masses.

So of course, they went to the artists who they preferred, which was Taylor Swift, which was Adele. And guess what? Both of them declined. So right back to my earliest sentiments, even though they went after certain bunnies that is considered the baddest, they ended up with Bad Bunny himself. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, 10, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? So when it comes to Bad Bunny's political and cultural impact, obviously this is not a political

podcast but whenever it comes across as far as me covering music I do have to speak on it because I do feel like it's very important as one of the main reasons that bad bunny did not tour in the US and literally canceled his Debbie Tarrah Moss Photos tour in the US specifically is because he feared of ice rays at his concerts want to let you know sprinkle a little silence in on that so when you come to the end NFL actually letting Jay-Z have Bad Bunny perform at the Super Bowl is very interesting because the insider source came from Jay-Z's camp allegedly and said that Jay-Z demanded that the NFL chose bad bunny after you know being turned down by Taylor Swift and Adele and essentially

he wanted to be and showcased the proud powerful and yeah the proud and powerful side of the Latinos in America, especially with Donald Trump expected to attend. Now, it's not a political podcast, of course. I'm just laying out the facts so you know exactly what all the surrounding detail is about this bad bunny pick. So when it comes to why bad bunny canceled his U.S. tour, his U.S. leg of the tour and due to fears of ice raids at concerts. And then when it comes to Jay Z's camp, because you know,

somebody's leaking his information obviously j z's not going to come out himself but he's going to have people speak for him so when the insider sources from j z's camp comes out says and this is an insider quote which i don't even know how that's possible if it's anonymous but anyways quote j z's well that this is j z's ultimate flex come february you're talking about bad bunny but they say he'll play for the world with trump just yards away So, but that being said, this would be the seventh halftime show overseen by Jay-Z since Rock Nation partnered with the NFL. And going back to Jay-Z being over the live entertainment, now that you know, as far as Jay-Z being the main proponent, as far as who picks these performers, it makes sense why we've had a Rihanna, while we've had a Kendrick, why we've had the weekend. We would have had Kanye if you didn't go crazy.

You guys. but when it comes to that also had Usher Dr. Dre Shakira and J-Lo, you'd probably thinking to yourself man, there's a lot of R&B and hip-hop acts

well now you know why But then you know what I'm saying? I was like damn look at the state of hip-hop Like what's going on? So specifically getting back into hip-hop Let's talk about side says Side 7 I mean my fault White Tank Top I mean goodness

I keep forgetting his name. Kendrick. Let's get back into Kendrick As when it comes to Mr. Duckworth he had his whole Super Bowl set leak by the one and only academics i don't know how many mcdubils and bottles of hennycy this man was off of but he was boasting with the most egregious smile because of him being able to successfully leak kentricle mara super bowl halftime set because you know of course that was in the midst of his victory lap as far as going at drake now

that being said let's let's play you know i'm just going to play this for a little bit so y'all can see this man talk off of 50 McDoubles and 20 Hennessy bottles. Oh. Oh no. Oh my goodness. Sometimes, you know, I think about letting people know that I name myself after academics as far as my name being analytics. But I think people who are connoisseurs of academics and, of course, my content, safe to say that. If you don't see a difference, if you don't hear a difference, then there may be something wrong with you. you but anyways let's get back into one of my he is still one of my main inspirations as far as covering

music but as you can see we have very different ways of covering stuff nowadays like yo nothing big than the chat nigga let me tell you i got that nigga kendrick's fucking super bowl i don't think he can i don't think he could get any closer to the camera by the way now there's analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio but do it at your own risk do it at your own risk so let's get back into it performance a nigga who worked at the fucking arena is a chat niggie oh Fuck who niggins label's type of me

What? Why he said like that? He said it like a car in 30 towns And after all that I was like, what in the world? After all that, how are you going to go on the whole ramp and then switch to car inthony Towns? I don't understand.

Anyways, let's get back into his rant. We can't work it out. Can't beat the chat. Stop it. All right, so anyways, that's basically. He's basically boasting about leaking Kendrick Lamar's whole Super Bowl set. And if you don't believe him,

or if you want to see proof, safe to say that every single time you look up Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl set leak before he performed, it doesn't show up. It shows this right here. But you will be glad to know that, of course, I did my journalistic due diligence and founded myself because I was like,

I know it has to exist on the internet somewhere, and I finally found it. So this is exactly what the leaks look like in the beginning. Let me see if I could find this. Yeah, so. Essentially, this is what it looked like. As far as when it was leaked allegedly from academics, because I don't know if he's still going to be sued by NFL.

You know, I ain't trying to help them out. But it does seem like, actually, let me see why it's not pull up. Okay. As I try to be a W-tech guy, let me try this again. So I have the actual picture of the Super Bowl. So analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. He's about to show the leaked set list and we're going to show the leaked actual stage. Let me see if I can.

find it okay um see okay oh here we go okay it's right here cool all right so this this came out right before his performance this entire thing was leaked so you have the leaked set list let me take myself away so you can see the full screen so as far as Kendrick as you can see this whole list was pretty much on the nose as the GNX trailer song going to squabble up um essentially was the way he started off because he had the GNX teaser and then of course he had squabble up then he had humble then he had DNA euphoria man at the garden peekaboo luther all of the stars now like us literally this was a one to one so academics did successfully leak his set list very petty i don't co-sign it but whenever he talks about certain

things in the music industry he usually be he's usually on the nose you know whenever he finishes getting locked up and police body cam footage for like 16 hours that that one hours of that one hour of music coverage music industry coverage by livixton is some of the greatest coverage i'm not going to lie to you man and might as well be stevenate covering sports so he broke this down like a keel of my lisorre's it basically showcased how this was his set list uh how this was a set list and um can i draw on this i don't think i could draw on this uh y'all see it's to the left it's to left of kendrick so um um and you can tell is this leaked set list list because nobody's in the stadium they're basically prepping this is how the prep looks before the actual show so

um yeah it's actually kind of crazy um academics did say he was going to get sued i don't know if they actually came into fruition i wouldn't be upset with him well i don't know i mean i'll never advocate for anybody get sued but that is crazy to leak somebody's whole super bow performance you only get that once as far as a solo act uh because he did he was on there twice but the first time was under dr dr drake so that's the main thing i wanted to go over is always here huge impact when the artist performs at the Super Bowl, which is why NFL doesn't like to pay people to perform, and which is why some of the top musicians that are still making the biggest bucks in the industry sometimes turn it down.

But as far as the seven-year run, I will say Jay-Z's had a great run of picking artists. Now, of course, it's been reported that they asked Drake to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show and he declined, but that was way before the Kendrick and Drake stuff and before, you you know, Drake and Jay-Z became mortal enemies because, you know, Drake haze everybody who co-signed their pedophile anthem. So with that being said, getting back into the 26 Super Bowl halftime show, it will be happening February 8th, 2028 at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California. And when it comes to Bad Bunny, his Puerto Rico residency just ended after 31 dates.

Goodness, it ended September of this year. and his upcoming tour is in the Dominican Republic. Once again, he canceled his U.S. leg of the tour because of the ice race. It's not political podcast. I'm just letting you know the state of the economy, the state of the world, really. His upcoming tour is 24 dates. It starts November 21st and it's in Dominican Republic. And when it comes to that, I think that this will be a fantastic Super Bowl performance.

Bad Bunny is one of the biggest musicians in the world. his album deba terrar mos photos which uh with uh that album is the 11th most play album in the world and i believe that album came out let me see that album came out january 2025 well no january 5th 2025 and it is almost october 2025 and it's still the 11th most play album in the world so safe to say bad bunny is one of the biggest musicians in the in the music industry so i think it's going to be a great performance um i don't really have any particular tracks i would want to hear from bad bunny i'm a huge drake fan i do feel like their collab as far as mea with straight heat had drake singing in the spanish and stuff like that but you know

i don't want to you know y'all going to be saying i'm glazing drake again you guys so anyways um when it comes to that i think this is going to be a great show i've never seen seen fully a bad bunny show i'm excited to see what he does on his um short time on the super bowl stage because of course you don't know i mean you already know the super bowl halftime show is not that long so with that being said click my link show in my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about bad bunny performing and being announced to perform at the 2026 super bowl halftime show and ultimately when it comes to the political surrounding of bad bunny performing in front of trump what do you think the dialogue will be

around Jay-Z picking the first headliner ever as far as solely performing in Spanish.
