At a Glance
- Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl halftime show has a height requirement of 5-foot-7 to 6-foot for field crew roles
- Fans under 5-foot-7 are venting on TikTok, calling the rule exclusionary
- A second role, Field Cast, demands 5-foot-10 to 6-foot-1 plus athletic build
- The star himself is 5-foot-6, shorter than both cutoffs
Why it matters: The strict height filters are disqualifying thousands of die-hard fans who hoped to share the stage with the Puerto Rican superstar.
Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl LX halftime performance is already making waves-this time for who can’t join him. Applications for on-field roles show tight height windows, and social media is flooded with disappointment from fans who fall short.
Height Rules Surface Online
Screenshots of the Field Team application began circulating after the Feb. 8 announcement that Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 halftime show. The document lists a mandatory range: 5-foot-7 to 6-foot.
Internet reaction was swift:
- One TikTok user: “Like come on, Benito, why are you doing us shorties like that??”
- Another: “Not me romanticizing being in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show just to be 5-foot-3.”
- A 5-foot-7 fan: “I’m honestly tempted-this might be my chance to meet Bad Bunny.”
Two Roles, Two Bars
Backlit Support, the production company handling hiring, confirmed to USA TODAY that “height requirements will be very important for participation on this one and will be verified through the rehearsal process.”
| Role | Height Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Field Team | 5-foot-7 – 6-foot | Paid crew handling stage setup |
| Field Cast | 5-foot-10 – 6-foot-1 | Performers in blocking routines |
The Field Cast listing adds a “slender to athletic build” and the ability to wear costumes up to 40 pounds.
The Irony: Bad Bunny’s Height
The global reggaetón icon stands 5-foot-6, making him shorter than both requirements set for his own show. He previously appeared at the Super Bowl LIV halftime in 2020 alongside Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.
Key Takeaways
- Height restrictions are locking out thousands of fans eager to participate
- Production cites staging logistics, not the artist, for the cutoffs
- Social media backlash highlights broader debates on inclusivity in live events
