Summary
- Reality stars criticized Bad Bunny's halftime show as inappropriate for children.
- Concerns were raised about the performance being entirely in Spanish.
- Bad Bunny's show was a tribute to his Puerto Rican heritage.
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl 2026 halftime performance at Levi's Stadium has drawn sharp criticism from reality television personalities. Jill Zarin, formerly of Real Housewives of New York City, labeled the show "the worst halftime show ever" and suggested it was inappropriate for children due to its content. She also questioned the lack of white performers and inferred a political message.
Taylor Armstrong, an alumna of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, joined the backlash, expressing embarrassment that the performance was entirely in Spanish and featured a Cuban flag. The show itself was a cultural tribute, celebrating Bad Bunny's Puerto Rican heritage with a stage design referencing sugarcane fields and a porch-party atmosphere.
Several celebrities, including Pedro Pascal and Jessica Alba, were seen enjoying the performance. Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin also made surprise appearances during the segment. The criticism extended beyond reality stars, with Donald Trump also denouncing the show as "absolutely terrible."
