National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell is standing by Bad Bunny’s upcoming performance at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show this Sunday. Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, generated headlines on Sunday when he was one of several musicians at the Grammys to rebuke U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deployment in the United States. The musician already created some controversy when he was officially selected to perform at this Sunday’s halftime show. Goodell, however, said Bad Bunny demonstrated on Sunday that he is “one of the great artists in the world,” and this is “one of the reasons” he was picked.  “But the other reason is he understood the platform he was on, and this platform is used to unite people, and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents, and to be able to use this moment to do that,” Goodell said at a press conference Monday night. “And I think artists in the past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands that, and I think he’ll have a great performance.” Goodell also confirmed that this year’s game will have federal, state, and local security levels working “together,” adding that previous presidential administrations have been involved in Super Bowl security. NFL Chief Security Officer Cathy Lanier said on Tuesday that the NFL is “confident” ICE won’t be a part of security, according to ESPN.

Work comes first… fresh off performing at the Grammys for the first time, Reba it sounds like Reba and her fiancé Rex Linn have postponed their wedding. During a conversation with E News! on the red carpet this past Sunday, Reba explained that Rex has a very strict “work comes first” rule, and their wedding is no exception to that. According to E! News, Reba says that Rex got picked up on the show Stick with Owen Wilson, and that’s taking priority for right now, in addition to working on the sitcom they co-star on, Happy’s Place: “Work comes first. We’re still waiting on a third season pickup from ‘Happy’s Place.’ And Rex got picked up on ‘Stick’ with Owen Wilson, so that pushed the wedding back.” The work aspect of their lives is something they both in enjoy, and they’ve done many projects together over the years, including Big Sky, The Hammer, Young Sheldon and The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw: “Rex and I have the best time working together. We’ve done movies together, television shows together, dramady and sitcoms.” In November, Reba told the same outlet that they hadn’t set a date yet (though it sounds like there might have been a timeframe in mind if it was postponed), and they were “enjoying being engaged”: “We’re totally enjoying being engaged. Have no idea when we’re going to set a date. Work comes first, so we’ll see.” She also said that the wedding would not be traditional at all, because that embodies the kind of relationship they have: “It’ll be a lot of fun. It’s gonna be a nontraditional wedding because that’s Rex and me. We like comfort, we love friends, we love food.” Rex also told E! that working together has only enhanced their relationship in real life, so it sounds like that’s a big part of why it’s such a priority: “What we’re doing right now, honestly, is enjoying our engagement time. We haven’t set a date, we’re just going to enjoy our engagement and enjoy going to Happy’s Place every day. We love being around one another. We like going to work, we like coming home from work. We can’t wait to go back the next day. Our relationship in real life has enhanced our scenes where we’re together because we’re a lot more comfortable. It makes it a lot better for us.” The couple actually met many years ago in 1991 on the set of Kenny Rogers’ The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw, and became friends then, though they did not become romantically involved until 2020, though they did keep in contact some over the years very casually. Eventually, they got to know each other during quarantine, and they did a lot of FaceTime dates to get to know each other while the world was shut down, and found that they really enjoyed each other’s company. As the two grew more fondly of each other, they started a daily call called “Coffee Camp,” where they set aside a dedicated time beginning in March of 2020, where they caught up or just laughed about their days: “It was a very special relationship, us getting to know each other without any physical aspect to it at all. We’d talk in the morning, we started ‘Coffee Camp’ while I was staying in Oklahoma … We haven’t missed a ‘Coffee Camp’ since March 16.” The two are clearly a match made in heaven, with McEntire sharing earlier this year with Fox News Digital that the two are a “perfect union” certainly difficult to come by in the entertainment industry: “Well, Rex and I get along in every aspect. He’s a better cook than I am, so I like that, for sure. We love Longhorns, we love the cowboy way of life, cowgirl way of life, and we both got into the entertainment industry. He’s an actor. I’m a singer. I love to act. Now we act together. So it’s just the perfect union, absolutely. And we get along great. We do argue now. We argue a lot, but we have fun doing that too.” It’s clear that they’re very happy and very much in love, but of course, life is busy, and considering how much they both have going on, it’s not surprising that it’s taking a while to put it all together. Here’s some of Reba’s performance alongside Brandy Clark and Lukas Nelson, where she delivered a beautiful rendition of her song “Trailblazer (Dream Chaser Version),” which is a reimagined version of her original song “Trailblazer” that was released earlier this year with Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert: @ascapofficialASCAP member Reba McEntire took to the GRAMMYs stage for the first time ever to lead this year’s In Memorium Tribute.
