Coco Jones is gearing up for one of the most iconic stages in entertainment, bringing her soulful energy to the Super Bowl. While fans anticipate her performance, little is known about her quirky pre-show habits that keep her nerves in check, hinting at a ritual inspired by a legendary vocalist.

At the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show press conference, Coco Jones revealed a surprising pre-performance ritual she picked up from Whitney Houston.

"I do like to eat Lay’s chips before I sing. I don’t know. Whitney Houston said that it makes your voice more oiled and loose, so now I just do it all the time," she shared at the press conference.

Jones explained that her routine also involves jumping and moving around to burn off pre-show jitters. She laughed while describing the mix of nerves and excitement. According to her, this combination of physical movement and a salty snack calms her and primes her voice for one of the biggest performances of her career at Levi’s Stadium.

While chips and stretches may seem trivial, they prepare her for a historic Super Bowl moment alongside other superstar performers.

Green Day will open with their hits, while Bad Bunny headlines the halftime show. The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will face off in a highly anticipated matchup.

In conclusion, music takes center stage at Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026. This historic event marks the first time a male Latin American artist, Bad Bunny, headlines the halftime show as a solo act.

This groundbreaking performance underscores a new era for the NFL, blending high-energy sports with a historic celebration of global rhythmic culture.
