Bad Bunny Honors Puerto Rico at Epic Super Bowl Halftime

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance was a powerful and detail-rich tribute to his Puerto Rican roots and a preview of future achievements. The show opened with a celebration of Latino identity, featuring references to his unbroadcastable songs and a custom jersey-suit. Around him, Benito recreated a vibrant community scene with nods to street vendors and cultural icons, including a cameo from Lady Gaga for a wedding-themed performance. He also included performances by Ricky Martin and tributes to Puerto Rican music legends. The performance vividly depicted the reality of Puerto Rican life, notably through a performance of 'El Apagón,' which included a Puerto Rican independence flag and performers evoking frequent blackouts due to decaying energy infrastructure. Bad Bunny concluded by acknowledging the Americas and Puerto Rico, emphasizing unity. His earlier Grammy acceptance speech included a powerful "ICE out" statement, reflecting his stance on immigration enforcement and its impact on his touring decisions.
