'God bless América': Why Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show resonated far beyond the US apnews.com/article/bad-...

Discussion of Bad Bunny as Super Bowl halftime performer, including expectations for the show and political backlash focused on his nationality — examples: "So why the MAGA freak-out over Bad Bunny, who is American?" and "why can't someone American do the halftime... POS BAD BUNNY IS🇺🇸".

It’s not the main sign, but a big sign at this regime is fascist is the constant need to sell itself as Strong yet perpetually the victim at the same time. The leader is a pedophile, it’s fine because they said so. At the same time having to listen to Spanish at the Super Bowl traumatized them.

Folks with knowledge of streaming analytics immediately pointed out that the streaming numbers for the Turning Point USA halftime extravaganza were (likely) juiced, or completely fake. Maybe that's not a surprise.

As reluctant as I am to give succour to MAGA asshats, English subtitles would have been nice. Not vital. Just nice. That said, this is the first time I've heard Bad Bunny's music and even if I formed any part of the target demographic, it's not my usual cup of tea.
2/10/26, 06:51 PM
If Tr*mp doesn't like Bad Bunny's Spanish, why is he living in a place called Mar-a-Lago?
2/10/26, 06:50 PM
I thought the Halftime show was fantastically entertaining and joyful. That’s why over 140 million tuned in too. People watched and saw Bad Bunny touched on issues and Lady Gaga singing beautifully, plus Ricky Martin and others. 💕👏👏👏👏

It just occurred to me that the people who are Mad Online about Bad Bunny’s halftime show are going to fully pass away when Grassl’s long program opens with “THE POPE IS DEAD.” #MilanoCortina2026

The flower Lady Gaga wore during her appearance at Bad Bunny's halftime show has a deep symbol meaning to Puerto Rico and it represents beauty, resilience, and love. "The only thing more powerful than hate is love", is the perfect message, Bad Bunny! 💙🇺🇸💙

Fat Randy didn't like the Bad Bunny show since they dissed him personally and didn't do a shout-out to ignorant obese morons.
2/10/26, 06:36 PM
One of the weirdest and funniest Bad Bunny song is "Tenemos Que Hablar" from his debut X100PRE, which is his version of an emo song from 2001
For those of you who are experiencing the right’s outrage cycle, Bad Bunny edition. Yes they are like this all the time....
"For those of you who are experiencing the right’s outrage cycle, Bad Bunny edition. Yes they are like this all the time. They always need something to be mad about."

And god forbid it ever be something they should actually be mad about.
2/10/26, 06:34 PM
I really enjoyed Bad Bunny's half time show in Spanish - it was like watching Italian Opera - I understood a few words but loved all the music😇
2/10/26, 06:33 PM
O pessoal não consegue mais curtir um show tipo o do Bad Bunny no Super Bowl sem achar significados filosóficos, não? Curte lá de boas.
2/10/26, 06:31 PM
Nearly 13 million people tuned in for the Puppy Bowl - while a little over 6 million tuned in for pedophilia defender Kid Rock's show hosted by the Christian-Rights TPUSA. #CoolDaddyCool
2/10/26, 06:30 PM
These people are the biggest losers on the planet. What a joke of a party. The America Bad Bunny showed us is the one that’s already prevailed. These haters can have fun & enjoy it w the rest of us or stay mad and miserable, but they’re not taking our future from us.
2/10/26, 06:30 PM
She’s a piece of 💩! I didn’t know who Bad Bunny was. I loved every minute of the performance. Best I’ve seen at the Super Bowl.
2/10/26, 06:27 PM
i am just always going to be charmed by the trees from the bad bunny bowl
2/10/26, 06:27 PM
🇺🇸 THE HALFTIME SHOW JESUS WOULD NEVER CANCEL 🦅🙏 Breaking: TPUSA’s Kid Rock halftime show is now the most watched event in human history, according to Nielsen, Gallup, and several prayer chains. 200 paid attendees. Infinite flames. Jesus reluctantly signed off.
2/10/26, 06:26 PM
🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: 135.4 million > 6.1 million Tens of millions set a halftime viewership record, taking in Bad Bunny's electric, entertaining performance, while a few million bots plus a dozen or so old-timers watched MAGA heartthrob/AARP member Kid Schlock break out his jorts and badly lip sync.

Who doesn’t love Bad Bunny? He’s great. 👍
2/10/26, 06:20 PM
A-M-E-N & HALLELUJAH!! Tfg & MAGA in NO WAY represents the US ppl. This guy, on the otherhand, understands completely. #BadBunny was working in a Mercado while producing music. Hes a self-made man with an inclusive heart.
2/10/26, 06:18 PM
Still finding out so many little beautiful details about the Bad Bunny halftime show that are leaving me in tears. The couple who got married, they’re a young couple, both nurses. She wore her hair naturally curly. Benito signed their marriage certificate as a witness. Like what a joy!
2/10/26, 06:18 PM
"What if we brought in _____ for YOUR event?" highlights how they think Bad Bunny was something done TO them, not FOR others.

No need. I already investigated bad bunnys performance. It was dope.

The same people angry about the Super Bowl concert being in Spanish are the same people going to spring break in Cancun.
2/10/26, 06:13 PM
I swear Bad Bunny speaking Spanish was a carefully curated path of rakes leading to a giant box propped up on a stick and these idiots still couldn't help themselves.

2/10/26, 06:12 PM
reasonably confident Bad Bunny would have made sure there was a lingering shot on the two guys grinding on each other ANYWAYS in principle but knowing that he managed to, as they say, trigger every cuckservative snowflake in G-d's Creation must be sweeter than honey
2/10/26, 06:11 PM
Everything on the show looked like it went as planned. Do they really think Bad Bunny didn't clear everything with the NFL beforehand? Just because the GOP can't be bothered to get the lyrics translated doesn't mean the heads of a franchise who see their future in Latin America are that dumb
2/10/26, 06:11 PM
Feminist News Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show reminded millions of viewers of something geography never forgot: America is a continent. The United States is just one country in it.
2/10/26, 06:08 PM
I'm still happy from Bad Bunny's nuanced, brilliant performance & still disgusted that the diaper wearing idiot in the White House did not know that Bad Bunny IS an American citizen - all Puerto Ricans are - Puerto Rico is a U.S Territory Trump should be impeached for that alone
"Bad Bunny: Canadá!"
2/10/26, 05:58 PM
これが文化だ！というステージだった。なんか、ハーフタイムショーというより、オリンピックの開会式みたいな感じがした。

2/10/26, 05:52 PM
Yet somehow, Bad Bunny DID unite a good chunk of the country with his positive message. 👍 #GreatRatings #

Would it have been awesome if Bad Bunny had flashed a card reading Epstein during his performance?
2/10/26, 05:48 PM
bad bunny makes all the worst people you know so mad and all the best people so happy, I'm envious of such power
2/10/26, 05:48 PM
Até entendo um americano médio trumpista rasgar o cu de raiva por causa do show do Bad Bunny no Super Bowl. Mas o que explica um Zé qualquer, morador da periferia tupiniquim, se incomodar com essa história?
2/10/26, 05:48 PM
The bad bunny half time show proves how much people are starved for good art and stage plays. Also he should consider getting into the theatre scene. It would GO CRAZY
2/10/26, 05:48 PM
120m or about a quarter of all #Superbowl viewers stuck with #BadBunny and his half-time show. The alternative, Pro-Trump #MAGA version rated 6m. Guess that's what's called a bomb. www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...

Sure, why not waste the people's $$$ just because Bad Bunny had 135 Million watching his show. Remind me again how many the TPUSA lip sink show got,,, oh ya 4 million. There's a pedophile in the White House but the GOP think investigating Bad Bunny is more important? #FuckTrump

I purchased a Bad Bunny tune myself. He’s honestly not in my music wheelhouse, but I really enjoyed his halftime show and wanted to show my support.

2/10/26, 05:27 PM
Oh yeah I did a halftime show too. It was just me watching Bad Bunny and drinking an iced coffee but still. It was exactly as valid as that Kid Rock one, as they were equally NOT the halftime show. So, why is the media covering one and not the other? Curious.
2/10/26, 05:26 PM
idk that performance was pretty fucking anti statehood but maybe you missed ricky martins gorgeous rendition of lo que le pasó a hawaii?? maybe you just totally missed him raising the NATIONAL flag of puerto rico for some reason?????

Example of randy's idea of Bad Bunny's "filth" - Bad Bunny lyrics (translated) - "Another beautiful sunset I see in San Juan Enjoying everything that the departed are missing out on Enjoying nights like those that don't come often That don't come often"

Not a cheap stunt at all. It just would have been heartwarming but if this was meant to represent BB as a boy OR a boy who will be inspired to follow BB, it’s still cool. No stunts with this performance…that’s all we’ve seen out of this repug admin and we’ve gotten to expect it.
2/10/26, 05:21 PM
„Beweise, dass du ungefährlich bist“ – das ist die unsichtbare Regel für jede Minderheit. Bad Bunny hat sie ignoriert. Er trat auf, als wäre seine Zugehörigkeit selbstverständlich. Und genau das war die stärkste politische Aussage des Abends. open.substack.com/pub/monikado...

Bad bunny used the french flag for all the french carribean islands who still doesn't have their official flags, he used the official flag of Martinique but not the official flag of Guadeloupe because it's still a colonial flag.
2/10/26, 05:16 PM
Bad Bunny's half-time show was watched live by about 135 million people, and millions streamed it later. By contrast, the Toilet Paper, Inc. White Fragility Half-Time Pity Party was watched by only about 1 million people. They artificially inflated their viewing numbers with paid bot accounts.
2/10/26, 05:14 PM
If you get more angry at a man signing in spanish then you do the president comparing the the first african american president and his wife to apes. You just might be a racist pos #badbunny #trump #halftimeshow
2/10/26, 05:12 PM
The white MAGA christian conservatives who are still mad about Bad Bunny halftime show don't realize they will slander Spanish culture but will celebrate Spanish culture when its Christopher Columbus Day and praise Spanish Conquistadors for colonizing America. Typical lukewarm christian hypocrites.
I honestly thought this was The Onion at first. Can we stop with this ridiculous navel gazing? 🤦‍♀️

Quel texte stupide. Bad Bunny vient de Porto Rico. C'est normal qu'il en parle. Pour le reste, le Québec c'pas un pays, c'pour ça qu'il n'est pas mentionné. À quel point t'es égocentrique pour penser qu'on est le seul peuple qui se distingue en Amérique ? Pis les francos hors Qc eux ? 🤦‍♀️
2/10/26, 05:06 PM
Well… at least his racist anti-Bad Bunny was based on observation and not secondhand knowledge?

So he liked Bad Bunny's hip action. I get it.

If you ask me, the best Super Bowl Half-Time show in recent years is theone from2022 where Eminem and ThugLife played. No discrimination, no cultural appropriation, no sensitive topics, no nothing. A breakfrom reality. I amborn to Guatemalan immigrant parents, andwe also don't understand Bad Bunny.
2/10/26, 04:58 PM
This post is senseless drivel. “Derr! Bad Bunny is meaningful! He says we don’t need Trump! A d-uh! Boys can be girls! Nazis everywhere!” He’s still your democratically-elected president for three more years. I know. Democracy is hard for you to accept.
