US EditionAP: Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show celebrated America – all of it – with a message of unity
Bad Bunny's 13-minute halftime show featured Puerto Rican culture and unity symbols, performed mostly in Spanish, with a record viewership and mixed political reactions.
- At Levi's Stadium on Sunday, Bad Bunny, halftime headliner, was called `absolutely terrible' by President Donald Trump in Truth Social posts.
- Given his past statements, MAGA supporters objected after the announcement, and Trump called it `a terrible choice` in January.
- The routine included theatrical moments like Benito falling through the ceiling and a midshow wedding, with guest stars Ricky Martin, Jessica Alba, Lady Gaga, Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, and about 6.1 million livestream viewers.
- In the immediate aftermath, Turning Point USA streamed an All-American Halftime Show featuring Kid Rock and country singers, while Meghan McCain praised Bad Bunny despite criticism from MAGA supporters and conservative commentators.
- Seen in context, the NFL’s selection of Bad Bunny for Super Bowl LX's halftime likely cements its role in culture‑war disputes and broader NFL history, reflecting its tradition of provocative entertainment choices.
