Why Jon Bon Jovi Decided to Appear in State Farm’s Super Bowl Ad: ‘I Couldn’t Say No’
In the 30-second spot — which poppi unveiled Sunday (Feb. 8) shortly ahead of its airtime during the Super Bowl — a sleepy group of students watches an elderly professor write complex math equations on a chalkboard. When one student cracks open a can of poppi, the professor rips off his clothes, revealing himself to be the British dance-pop star, and the I Love LA actress falls through the ceiling.
“What is this?” Sennott asks, to which Professor Charli responds, “I think it’s just a vibes thing.”
With that, the entire classroom breaks out into a rave, complete with flashing lights, a flame thrower and a horse with light-up neon reins.
The commercial was directed by Aiden Zamiri, Charli’s frequent collaborator who also helmed her The Moment mockumentary, which also stars Sennott. The spot is one of several celebrity Super Bowl ads this year, with Sabrina Carpenter starring in a Pringles campaign, Benson Boone doing flips with Ben Stiller for Instacart and KATSEYE partnering with State Farm, to name a few.
It’s also not Charli’s first Super Bowl commercial. Last year, the three-time Grammy winner and Martha Stewart starred alongside each other in an Uber Eats campaign.
The 2026 Super Bowl kicked off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, taking place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. Before the game began between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, Coco Jones performed “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” Brandi Carlile sang “America the Beautiful,” and Charlie Puth delivered the national anthem.

Standing on a small stage in a tailored suit with white stripe accents, the musician effortlessly crooned the ballad’s poetic lyrics while finger-picking an acoustic guitar, nailing every note even as the melody inched higher and higher on the scale. Joining Carlile was duo SistaStrings, who upped the emotional value of the performance with swelling violin and cello.
“America, America!/ God shed his grace on thee,” Carlile belted, her voice sailing over the speakers. “And crown thy good with brotherhood/ From sea to shining sea!”
Carlile’s performance was part of a pre-game lineup that also included Coco Jones belting out “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” Green Day rocking out with an opening ceremony mini-concert and Charlie Puth delivering “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The biggest musical event of the day, however, will be Bad Bunny’s highly anticipated halftime show, which is expected to be the first predominantly Spanish-language set in Super Bowl history.
Leading up to the Big Game, Carlile — a Washington native — supported the Seahawks at the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams, where the Seattle team won 31-27 and secured its slot in the Super Bowl. And while she wasn’t dressed in blue and lime for her performance of “America the Beautiful,” the country star told Varietyin an interview published the day before the Super Bowl, “I’ll have a Seahawks jersey on in my heart.”
She also told the publication about her choice to participate in the Super Bowl’s musical offerings during such a politically tense time in the U.S. “I believe in my ability and responsibility to do this, and that’s why I’m here,” Carlile said. “And the throughline to being queer and being a representative of a marginalized community and being put on the largest stage in America to acknowledge the fraught and tender hope that this country is based on, it’s something you don’t say no to. You do it.”

“I’m proud of everything that he’s been standing up for against ICE and everything,” Cardi B told The Associated Press ahead of her performance at Michael Rubin’s star-studded Fanatics Super Bowl Party on Saturday (Feb. 7), which featured performances by SZA, Don Toliver and Travis Scott.
The Grammy winner spoke with admiration and unity about Bad Bunny, who appeared with J Balvin on her chart-topping hit “I Like It.” The collaboration helped propel Latin music further into the global mainstream.
Bad Bunny is set to take the Super Bowl stage on Sunday (Feb. 8), one week after winning album of the year at the 2026 Grammys for Debí Tirar Más Fotos. It is the first time an all-Spanish-language album has taken home the top prize.
At the Grammys, the Puerto Rican superstar said “ICE out” while accepting an award, criticizing President Donald Trump’s administration for its dramatic expansion of immigration arrests.
“It just feels like everything is aligned right now,” said Cardi B, who is of Afro-Caribbean descent with roots in Trinidad and the Dominican Republic. “It just shows how Hispanics, Latinos. … We standing. They standing. We all standing.”
With Super Bowl buzz swirling around “I Like It” and the possibility of surprise guests, Cardi B was asked what it would mean to share the stage with Bad Bunny on such a massive platform.
“That’d be exciting,” she said.
As Bad Bunny readies for his halftime moment, Cardi B is preparing for the launch of her highly anticipated tour, which opens Feb. 11 in Palm Desert, Calif. The run marks her first headlining arena tour, and her first tour in six years.
The tour arrives on the heels of her sophomore album, Am I the Drama, just four months after the birth of her first child with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, her fourth child overall.
Her preparation has centered on long rehearsal days that double as physical training, building momentum and confidence ahead of life on the road, Cardi B said.
“The rehearsing is my workout,” she said. “I’m just doing my job.”
With her recent project connecting strongly with fans and plans to work on her new album while on tour, Cardi B said the momentum has sharpened her excitement for returning to the stage.
“I feel really confident,” she said. “Knowing the fans are going to be there and know the music. It’s exciting.”

Being part of State Farm Insurance’s commercial for Super Bowl LX “is playing into the new me,” according to Jon Bon Jovi.
The New Jersey rocker, who’s returning to the stage this summer after being sidelined since 2022 due to vocal cord issues, made a cameo appearance in the comic spot (which debuted in full on Sunday, Feb. 8) alongside actors Danny McBride, Keegan-Michael Key, Hailee Steinfeld and the Grammy Award-nominated group Katseye. In the ad, McBride and Key have started a fly-by-night company called Halfway There Insurance, using Bon Jovi’s iconic Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Livin’ On a Prayer” with revised lyrics (“We barely cover a boat by the dock/our bike coverage leaves out a lot).
In the ad (both 60-second and two-minute versions) a keytar-wielding McBride and Key, with a triple-neck guitar, perform the song in various costumes, while Steinfeld is a customer poking holes in the shortcomings of their coverage. The spots end on a highway, where Katseye is dancing and a leather-jacketed Bon Jovi, with Jake From State Farm (Kevin Miles) riding shotgun, rolls up in 1971 Ford Torino convertible and asks Steinfeld, “Need a lift?” before driving off. Miles says, “Stop livin’ on a prayer. Get State Farm.”
“I do believe that the (State Farm) commercials are a part of American pop culture right now,” Bon Jovi told Billboard from the California set during early December. “They’re fun, they’re funny, they’re whimsical. And when they came to me with it, I saw the script and I found joy in it. I just smiled — as simple as that. I couldn’t say no to that. To be part of something that is fun and lighthearted…to go and have fun and have joy in my heart and not get too bogged down in all the details and seriousness of it now, that’s what I want. A song like this transcends anything we’ve ever discussed, ever, in my career. You should have some fun with it. So I said, ‘Why not?’”
Further kismet for Bon Jovi is having the New England Patriots playing as the AFC representative in the Super Bowl. A former Arena Football League owner, he’s a longtime close friend of Patriots owner Robert Kraft and a Patriots partisan — which put him at odds on the set with Steinfeld, who’s married to rival Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
“I kept my distance,” Bon Jovi quipped. “I’d just hold up my Patriots logo every once in a while and remind them who’s in first place.” So about that “new” Bon Jovi….
His vocal struggles and treatment for it were chronicled in depth during the 2024 Hulu/Disney+ docuseries Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story. “The recovery was much longer than anticipated,” says Bon Jovi, who hasn’t toured since 2022 and was unable to go out in support of the band’s 2024 album Forever. During that time he underwent vocal cord medicalization, a reconstructive surgery and intensive therapy. He did play a camera-free show for select fans last June in Nashville, but it’s only this year that he’s making a full-scale return to the stage, with nine sold-out shows starting July 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, followed by stadium dates during late August and early September in Edinburgh, Scotland, Croke Park in Ireland and three dates at Wembley Stadium in London.
“Am fully healed, finally, and so I’m going back to it and…gonna start slow,” Bon Jovi says. “To be honest, there was many a time I thought (the recovery) was good enough and the inner circle would say, ‘No, it’s not good enough.’ And there’s be times when I’d get down and want to throw the towel in, and they’d say, ‘No, you’ve made too much progress.’ And I just stayed diligent ’til it got to a point where I’m 102% confident that it’s really not an issue anymore, thank God.”
Bon Jovi has been working with a singing coach, while the band has been getting together once a month to rehearse. He’s “well down the road” of planning the shows, including two different setlists, and promises that “I’m not trying to chase 1995 or pretend I’m 35. But the quality of the sound of the (voice) is a very good version of 2026, so I’m very happy with that. All the range is there. In [the State Farm ad], the actors are having to pretend to sing the high notes, and I just laugh and go, ‘You all think you can sing that song. Go ahead, try it!’ But I could show them how to do it.
“It’s freeing to wake up every day and — I haven’t done this for over a decade — wake up and make a sound and know that it’s not taxing, physically. I pride myself on being a trained vocalist and not a stylist. I know the instrument. I work at this every day. I wouldn’t go out…unless it’s great.”
Despite that, Bon Jovi said there will “absolutely not” be any additional concerts during 2026.
“Everybody’s already ‘please, please, please,’ and the answer is ‘nope,’” he said. “It’s quite a statistic…Three Wembley shows, 80,000 a night, nine Gardens sold out in a day. It’s like, holy Christmas, the demand is there. But I’m not rushing this. I am going to take my time, gonna enjoy it. Then in ’27, based in joy and gratitude and humility, we’ll go out. I really believe this is kind of a rebirth, just getting back to my youth, with all the wisdom that I carry. (To) go in there without the weight of the world on my shoulders anymore. That’s all I wanted out of this, the simple joy of performing again.”
The shows, he adds, will include “all the obvious hits, in all the right keys we’ve always performed them. I can honestly say there’s nothing in the catalog of the 18 albums that I couldn’t sing, even if I did it once or twice. It’s locked again.”
The dates will provide some delayed promotion for Forever, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. He followed it last year with the Forever (Legendary Edition), which featured duets on the album’s songs with good friend Bruce Springsteen, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, the War & Treaty and others. Another album is not in the offing yet, however. “I’m not in a place to write a whole new record yet,” Bon Jovi said. “I still have too much love for the Forever album.”

Before the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots kicked off Super Bowl LX on Sunday (Feb. 8) at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., musicians from an assortment of genres took the field to celebrate America — including Coco Jones, who opened the Super Bowl 2026 preshow with a stunning performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Often referred to as the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” is a hymn that dates back to the year 1900 and is a prayer for freedom for all in America.
Dressed in a white gown augmented by the colors of the Pan-African flag (red, black, green) rendered in shimmering sequins, Jones delivered a technically assured version of the song. Backed by an orchestral octet, Jones demonstrated the vocal command and flair that helped her net a Grammy for best R&B performance category in 2024. Her debut album, Why Not More?, dropped in 2025, following the success of her Billboard Hot 100 hit “ICU.”
“Lift Every Voice and Sing” was added to Super Bowl celebrations in 2020, when Black Lives Matters protests were taking place across the United States and the NFL was under fire for taking disciplinary measures against NFL players who “took a knee” during the National Anthem during the late 2010s to protest police brutality and racial inequality.
Later during the preshow, Green Day performed a medley of their punk-pop hits, Brandi Carlile sang “America the Beautiful” and Charlie Puth performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” (aka the National Anthem). During the Big Game’s halftime, Bad Bunny will take the stage to perform the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show.

Charlie Puth hit the Levi’s Stadium field in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday (Feb. 8) to perform the national anthem at the 2026 Super Bowl.
Dressed in a brown leather bomber jacket over a white shirt and tie with jeans, Puth stood on a white platform on the field to play keyboard while singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.” He was backed by a band and choir dressed in all white, who added extra depth to his pop-styled rendition of the national anthem.

Appropriately, when Puth sang the line “and the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,” the cameras cut to the Levi’s Stadium big screen as fireworks burst above a close-up of the singer/songwriter. The cameras also cut to a perfect shot of an American flag waving in the wind backed by the nearby Golden Gate Bridge.
Puth ended his performance with an unexpected final note, adding his own touch to the more than 200-year-old song.
Puth’s “Star-Spangled Banner” was preceded by Brandi Carlisle’s “America the Beautiful,” as well as Green Day’s Opening Cermony performance.
Late last year, Puth announced his fourth studio album, Whatever’s Clever!, due March 27 via Atlantic Records, alongside a music video for lead single “Changes.” In the ’80s-inspired visual, Puth let fans in on some big personal news in: His wife, Brooke Sansone, makes a cameo and they both place their hands on her belly to signal that they’re about to become a family of three. So far, he’s released three songs from the upcoming album: “Changes,” “Beat Yourself Up” and “Cry,” which just dropped on Friday.
In Sunday’s Super Bowl, the Seattle Seahawks are playing the New England Patriots and Bad Bunny is set to perform at the halftime show.

The six-minute, four-song set started subtly, with several violinists playing the gorgeous strains of “Good Riddance” as Super Bowl MVPs of decades past made their way onto the field to celebrate the Big Game’s six-decade milestone. As greats such as the Manning brothers, Tom Brady, Joe Montana and Jerry Rice finished walking out to the field, the cameras panned to the stage, and Green Day took over the rest of the song, then kicked into the rest of the medley.
As fans on the field waved red foam heart-grenades (the image on the cover of the band’s 2004 album American Idiot) instead of foam fingers, the band transitioned into Billboard Hot 100 hits “Holiday” (No. 19), then “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” (No. 2) before closing with a rollicking “American Idiot” (No. 61), not once mentioning the state of American politics, as the band is wont to do.
As the final song wrapped, the cameras panned out to show the football greats lined up along both sides of the stairs leading up to the stage. With the set ending, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong yelled excitedly to kick off the rest of the festivities: “Welcome to the Baaaaay! It’s Super Bowl 60!”
The Grammy-winning rockers were first announced as performers on Jan. 18. “We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard!” Armstrong said in a statement at the time. “We are honored to welcome the MVPs who’ve shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world.”
Though Green Day avoided making any political statements during its set at the pre-show ceremony, the band did not hold back leading up to the Big Game, making headlines not only for the announcement of its performance before the game’s start, but also for speaking out against the Trump administration, which the rockers have not been shy about doing over the years. During the band’s performance at Spotify’s The FanDuel Party held at San Francisco’s Pier 69 on Friday (Feb. 6), Armstrong had a strong message for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
“Quit your s—ty ass job. Quit that s—ty job you have,” the frontman said bluntly, according to videos captured by attendees. “Because when this is over, and it will be over at some point of time, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Donald Trump — they’re gonna drop you like a bad f—king habit. Come on to this side of the line.”
And as he has done at many previous shows, Armstrong tweaked the lyrics of hit song “American Idiot.” Instead of the usual “I’m not part of a redneck agenda” lyric, the rocker declared, “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda.” He also made a pointed reference to the recent headlines surrounding the release of a batch of the Epstein files during “Holiday,” singing “the representative from Epstein Island has the floor” rather than “the representative from California.”
The president also made his distaste for Green Day and Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner Bad Bunny apparent before the game. “I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice,” Trump told the New York Post of the performers in January. “All it does is sow hatred. Terrible.”
The 2026 Super Bowl kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on NBC and Peacock.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Feb. 6) on Billboard, choosing the former One Direction member’s new release as their favorite.
“Die for Me” debuted during a week that had several popular new music releases — from Tame Impala and Jennie, J. Cole, Nick Jonas, sombr and more. ZAYN’s track was fans’ top pick in this round, bringing in a whopping 80% of the vote.
The R&B-pop single “Die for Me” — and its music video, seen above — comes ahead of the release of Konnakol, ZAYN’s just-announced fifth solo studio album. The LP arrives on April 17 via Mercury Records/Island Records U.K., and is the follow-up to his 2024 set, Room Under the Stairs.
“It’s that time again, I have been lucky enough to make a fifth studio album,” the singer said in a press statement. “Konnakol in its definition is the act of creating percussive sounds with one’s voice, but what it means to me lies somewhere much deeper. It is a sound that holds the reverberation of a time before words existed.”
“I have always drawn on my heritage for inspiration since I first started making my own music — this album is a development of that understanding, knowing more now than ever, who I am, where I come from and where I intend to go,” ZAYN shared.
Soon after delivering the news of Konnakol, ZAYN unveiled a set of upcoming dates for the Konnakol Tour, scheduled to begin on May 12 in Manchester, England. The trek has him performing at arenas and stadiums in the U.K., Mexico, North America and South America.
Among the new releases trailing behind “Die for Me” are Tame Impala and Jennie’s “Dracula” remix, with 9% of the vote; J. Cole’s The Fall-Off album, with 3% of the vote; Nick Jonas’ Sunday Best, with 2% of the vote, and sombr’s “Homewrecker,” also with 2% of the vote.

Brett Favre is weighing in on which musical act he’ll watch during the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
On Saturday (Feb. 7), the former Green Bay Packers quarterback, 56, shared on X why he’s choosing Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show” over Bad Bunny‘s performance on Sunday (Feb. 8) at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

“Not familiar with Bad Bunny so don’t know if his music is good or bad,” Favre wrote on X. “I’m just going to watch what I know Lee Brice, Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show.”
The NFL Hall of Famer’s post also included a clip of himself discussing his halftime music pick on an episode of his 4th and Favre podcast, which he co-hosts with David Kano.
The official Super Bowl LX halftime show will feature Grammy winner Bad Bunny, who is from Puerto Rico, and American territory, and performs almost exclusively in Spanish.
Turning Point USA, founded by late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, announced its “All-American Halftime Show” shortly after Bad Bunny was revealed as the Super Bowl headliner. The Turning Point lineup for Super Bowl Sunday includes Kid Rock, Lee Brice, Gabby Barrett and Brantley Gilbert. The show is being billed as an alternative to the NFL’s official halftime performance.
Favre, a supporter of President Donald Trump, was met with some backlash in the comments section of his post on X.
“Shocking that the guy that defrauded his states welfare and sent unsolicited d—k pics to a reporter, aligns with kid rock and maga,” one person wrote. Another commented, “You wouldn’t [like] Bad Bunny, Brett. He actively gives back to his community instead of defrauding it.”
The remarks alluded to Favre’s involvement in a Mississippi welfare controversy, in which investigators claimed that public assistance funds were misused for projects tied to the former athlete. The case received national attention because the funds were meant to help low-income families. Favre has denied any wrongdoing, and the issue has continued to unfold through civil litigation and public scrutiny.
Others agreed with Favre’s choice, writing, “Me too! Dont know who bad bunny is???” Another added, “Amen Brett!!” alongside an image of the American flag.
Super Bowl LX is set for Sunday, with the Seattle Seahawks facing the New England Patriots. The game will air on NBC, with livestreaming available on Peacock. The Turning Point USA halftime show will air on Turning Point’s social media channels, as well as platforms including The Daily Wire and TBN.

Don Toliver lands his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as OCTANE starts atop the list dated Feb. 14. The set launches with 162,000 equivalent album units earned (his best week ever) in the United States in the week ending Feb. 5, according to Luminate.
Plus, Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS jumps 9-2 after its album of the year win at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 1, while Noah Kahan’s Stick Season returns to the top 10 (rising 13-7) after the release of the lead single from his forthcoming album and the announcement of his tour.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Feb. 14, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Feb. 10. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.
Of OCTANE’s 162,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week SEA units comprise 131,000 (equaling 138.98 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks, marking Toliver’s best streaming week ever; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 31,000 (his biggest sales week, it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Sales of the album got a boost from its availability across multiple deluxe boxed sets containing a copy of a CD and a piece of branded clothing, vinyl variants and three deluxe digital download editions of the album (each with one bonus track).
