Donald Trump Reveals He Won't Attend Super Bowl LX Amid Backlash over the NFL’s Choice of Performers
- On February 8, President Donald Trump announced he will not attend Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, revealing his decision in a New York Post interview on Saturday.
- Citing travel, Trump said the West Coast trip was `just too far away` and criticized the NFL’s performer choices as polarizing and dismissive of some fans on Saturday.
- Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show, known for blending reggaeton and Latin trap as a win for Latino representation, and Green Day will perform before the game, with lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong recently targeting the MAGA movement.
- Despite staying home, Trump remains central as conservative commentators criticize the NFL's political statement, while right-leaning media warn the lineup could alienate football fans and political observers this year.
- Having attended last year's game, Trump became the first sitting president to attend Super Bowl 2025 in New Orleans, while last year's game drew nearly 130 million US viewers and 62.5 million international viewers.
