Text 1: 'Made me feel proudly American': stars react to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show

As blue, red and white fireworks filled the sky at the end of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl half-time show, a message filled the screen in all capitals: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” It was the enduring statement from a 13-minute spectacle that invited an estimated 135.4 million viewers into Bad Bunny's world, with richly textured references to politics, history and Puerto Rican culture. The artist transformed the pitch of the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, into his own love letter to the island, with cinematic set pieces including sugarcane fields, a house party, and a lively wedding ceremony featuring a surprise performance by Lady Gaga.

Bad Bunny tapped into just how broad a definition of “America” could be, shouting “God bless America” before saying a list of countries and territories including the US and “mi madre,” Puerto Rico. In a five-star review, The Guardian 's Stefanie Fernández called it a celebration of “the love, the community and the absolute joy that we create together every day in spite of everything else.”

Earlier this month, Bad Bunny took home the album of the year Grammy for his 2025 release Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which blends traditional Puerto Rican genres with hip-hop and reggaeton. During one of his speeches that night, he said: “We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans … The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.”

Last year, he was Spotify's most-streamed global artist with more than 19.8 billion streams, dethroning Taylor Swift, who had held that title for the previous two years. The half-time show's references to politics were subtle but frequent. On stage, Bad Bunny carried the Puerto Rican flag of independence, the original flag of the territory that was outlawed until 1952 and is distinguished by its sky-blue triangle.

Ahead of the performance, Bad Bunny said: “I really want people to have fun. It's gonna be a huge party. I want to bring what people can always expect from me, and a lot of my culture.”
