Bad Bunny took the Super Bowl halftime stage and delivered a performance that fans are still talking about. The Puerto Rican superstar was joined by surprise guests including Jessica Alba, Pedro Pascal, Lady Gaga, and Ricky Martin. Social media erupted as he performed some of his biggest hits like Titi Me Preguntó, Yo Perreo Sola, and Mónaco, while Lady Gaga performed Die with a Smile.
The show ended with a powerful message. Bad Bunny named every Latin American country, along with Canada and the United States, which many viewers interpreted as a subtle critique of former President Trump. He also held up an American football with the words “Together, we are America,” while a large sign in the background read, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” One fan commented: “I don’t follow Bad Bunny, but if he uses his platform to say ‘God bless América, desde Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Perú…’ right there in front of Trump’s orange square, that’s powerful.”
Others highlighted the emotional impact of the show. “Wow, what a superlative and deeply emotional show from Bad Bunny alongside Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin a clear message to Trump’s populist far-right and a huge tribute to the Latin world. Well done,” one viewer wrote. Another added: “This, on American soil, in the middle of the Trump administration, is way too strong. Bad Bunny is massive!” This comes at a time when concerns about Trump’s mental state have been widely discussed, as noted by a doctor saying Trump’s brain is shrinking and coverage of his public behavior by major media outlets like Fox News and CNN.
Reactions to the music itself were mixed. Many praised the performance, calling it “incredible” and “truly great for football and Spanish culture.” One fan wrote: “Bad Bunny is the mann! I don’t know how anyone could dislike this performance.” But some disagreed, criticizing the crowd’s energy. “There is no crowd reaction for this halftime show. The crowd looks dead or lost lol,” one comment read, while another bluntly called it “the worst halftime show ever.”
Overall, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance sparked conversation not just for the music, but for its cultural and political resonance, cementing his place as one of the most influential artists of the moment. His bold celebration of Latin pride and subtle political messaging made this one of the most talked-about Super Bowl halftime shows in recent memory, even prompting furious reactions from Trump supporters and a wave of online discussion.
