Ex-Fiancée Calls Super Bowl Halftime 'Un-American'
10 Feb
Summary
- Kate Neilson criticized Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show.
- She stated the performance was 'very un-American' for not being in English.
- Neilson later claimed she only disliked the choreography, not the cultural aspect.
Kate Neilson, formerly engaged to AFL star Wayne Carey, has drawn criticism for her remarks about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show. Neilson, who obtained American citizenship in April 2025, described the performance as the "worst ever" and "very un-American" due to its predominantly Spanish lyrics.
Her comments sparked debate, with some users pointing out that Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny's origin, is a U.S. territory and its citizens are American. Neilson attempted to clarify her position, stating her dislike was focused on the choreography rather than the performance's cultural or political message.
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX performance featured a visually rich set depicting a sugarcane plantation and included elements of Latin culture. The show also carried a message of love and unity, countering hate, which contrasted with former President Donald Trump's strong disapproval, who called it an "affront to the Greatness of America."
