Super Bowl Gets A Cultural Glow-Up Thanks To Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show

It’s secure to say Bad Bunny got here through repping one team during his halftime show, and the team was unity! He proved that division and hate are tearing America apart when love could easily bring everyone together. Fresh off his historic Grammy Awards win, Bad Bunny made one message clear and that’s “Together We Are America.”

He made sure to look fly while performing his hits too. Coming out rocking a cream football jersey with matching pants, looking fly and fresh! Still, he put Latin culture front and center, even throwing in a bit taste of his 2025 Puerto Rico residency. He also added much more Latin flavor with a bodega storefront and gave Daddy Yankee his flowers by sliding in a sample of a remixed version of his hit, ‘Gasolina.’
