Nashville, Tennessee — Country music fans are making their voices heard loud and clear. More than 40,000 supporters have already signed a rapidly growing petition to replace Bad Bunny with Randy Owen, the legendary frontman of Alabama, as the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner — and the movement shows no signs of slowing down.
To many, this isn’t just a campaign for a performer. It’s a call for authenticity, tradition, and a return to the music that built America’s spirit. Fans across the country — from small-town diners to stadium crowds — are uniting behind the man whose voice defined Southern storytelling for over five decades.
“Randy Owen’s music isn’t about fame or flash — it’s about faith, family, and the heart of America,” one fan wrote. “That’s what the Super Bowl should sound like.”
For over 50 years, Owen has been a symbol of integrity and humility in country music. With songs like “Mountain Music,” “Song of the South,” and “Angels Among Us,” he gave a voice to the working class, the dreamers, and the believers who found hope in harmony. His signature sound — rich, emotional, and deeply human — became the soundtrack of a generation.
Now, those same fans are saying it’s time for that voice to rise again, this time on the biggest stage in the world.
The petition, launched just weeks ago, has spread across social media under the hashtags #RandyForHalftime and #BringCountryHome, attracting celebrities, radio stations, and even former NFL players who grew up listening to Alabama’s music on the road.
“This isn’t just about a halftime show,” another supporter wrote. “It’s about reminding the world where America’s roots really are — in the songs that tell our story.”
Whether or not the NFL responds, one thing is already clear: the movement has struck a chord far deeper than anyone expected.
Because this isn’t just about a performance — it’s about legacy, pride, and the sound of a nation that still believes in its own heart.
