Bad Bunny Super Bowl Show Silences MAGA Nutcases With Cardi B, Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin & Karol G

Bad Bunny delivered a historic Super Bowl halftime performance Sunday night (February 8)at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco.

The Puerto Rican superstar became the first Latino artist to headline the big game solo.

The 31-year-old reggaeton king took the stage between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. His 13-minute set celebrated Latin culture on America’s biggest stage.

Bad Bunny performed in a field of grass and on top of “La casita,” a traditional house in Puerto Rico. He opened with “T##í Me Preguntó,” before launching into “Yo Perreo Sola.” The crowd erupted as dancers in khaki skirts filled the field.

He then transitioned into a medley of his biggest hits, including “EoO,” “VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR,” “MONACO,” “BAILE,” “INoLVIDABLE NUEVAYoL,” “El Apagón,” “CAFÉ CON RON,” and “DtMF.”

Cardi B and Karol G made brief appearances in a swarm of dancers, but Lady Gaga grabbed the spotlight with her part on “Die With a Smile,” and Ricky Martin was a special guest for “LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii.”

Others who appeared in the swarm of dancers include Jessica Alba, Young Miko, Pedro Pascal and Alix Earle.

The show faced political controversy leading up to tonight.

Conservative group Turning Point USA organized a competing “All-American Halftime Show” featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett.

The low-energy alternative programming aired on YouTube, Rumble and partner networks.

Kid Rock framed his show as “David and Goliath” against the NFL. He said his group would “play great songs for folks who love America.” The TPUSA event promoted “faith, family and freedom” as an alternative to Bad Bunny’s performance.

Despite the organized boycott, millions of conservative viewers still watched the Super Bowl. Many took to social media expressing frustration with Bad Bunny’s Spanish-language performance.

Twitter exploded with complaints from MAGA supporters who felt alienated by the show.

But Bad Bunny’s performance proved his critics wrong. The artist brought energy and spectacle that transcended language barriers.

The halftime show featured Bad Bunny honoring his Caribbean heritage in his second Super Bowl appearance. He previously joined Shakira and Jennifer Lopez as a guest performer in 2020.

Tonight’s show represented a cultural milestone for Latino representation in American sports. And the majority of viewers embraced Bad Bunny’s historic performance tonight. Social media is filled with praise for his energy and cultural celebration.
