This past weekend, the Super Bowl took place. An event watched by BILLIONS and costing nearly as much. As one of the most anticipated events in American history, many of us don’t just watch for the game but for the famous halftime show. To some, this is the only reason to watch, and with the stakes so high, the performer better bring their A-game. Well, this year, Bad Bunny did.
Bad Bunny is one of the biggest stars out there, with his music incorporating elements of his Puerto Rican heritage as well as incredible rapping skills. His music, mostly in Spanish, has managed to unite hundreds of millions of people because, to him, it doesn’t matter if you understand the lyrics—if the music moves you, then you’re listening.
For his halftime show, Bad Bunny chose to highlight his Latino heritage, paying homage to labor workers, common pillars in the Hispanic community, and what it means to live the true American dream. The performance was filled with rhythmic beats, powerful dance moves, and seamless sets that flowed into each other.
Not only did Bad Bunny feature amazing dancers, but throughout the show, many Latin celebrities appeared, further emphasizing inclusivity.
Another very notable moment was when a couple was legally married during one of the scenes. They celebrated their wedding during the halftime show and were legally wedded on the main stage.
Whether you listen to his music or even understand the lyrics, Bad Bunny delivered a message to everyone living on this continent: love is more powerful than hate, and if you take anything away from this, let it be that—choose love over hate.
