US EditionBad Bunny Makes Super Bowl History With First Spanish-Language Halftime Show Amid Conservative Backlash
Bad Bunny became the first solo Latino and Spanish-language headliner at the Super Bowl halftime, showcasing Puerto Rican culture to over 120 million viewers, NFL officials said.
- Sunday, Bad Bunny headlined the Super Bowl LX halftime show at Levi's Stadium, performing nearly 13 minutes mostly in Spanish that highlighted Puerto Rican culture.
- To highlight immigration and Puerto Rican issues, Bad Bunny used the platform to showcase material from his Grammy-winning Spanish-language album, following last week's Grammy victories.
- Midway through the set, Bad Bunny recreated Puerto Rican imagery, handed a Grammy to the young boy, and included surprise cameos plus a real on-field wedding.
- Officials and commentators reacted, noting a split between praise and criticism, with President Trump denouncing the halftime pick, according to sources.
- Given roughly 6.1 million Puerto Ricans living on the US mainland, Bad Bunny's performance is framed as a landmark moment for Latino representation amid Puerto Rico's $72 billion fiscal crisis.
