The announcement of Bad Bunny as the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show performer has sent shockwaves across the nation — but no one spoke louder than Guy Penrod. The gospel and country icon unleashed a fiery response online, calling the decision “a betrayal of the values that built American music.”
In a statement that quickly went viral, Penrod wrote, “This isn’t about art — it’s about integrity. We’ve forgotten that the stage once stood for something sacred.” Within hours, #StandWithGuy began trending, as thousands of fans joined his outcry against what they saw as a politically driven spectacle.
While some accused him of being too harsh, others praised Penrod for speaking the truth many were too afraid to say. “He’s standing for heart and heritage,” one fan tweeted. “Not headlines.”
The NFL has yet to respond, but one thing is clear — Guy Penrod’s voice has reignited a national debate about faith, freedom, and the fading soul of American entertainment.
