On his 4th & Favre podcast, Brett Favre said he wouldn’t choose Bad Bunny to headline February’s Super Bowl halftime show, favoring country stars like Jason Aldean or George Strait as more patriotic and broadly relatable. A Trump supporter who campaigned for him in 2024, Favre recalled Whitney Houston’s tear-stirring 1991 anthem as the kind of performance that "grabs you."
