Bad Bunny made history as the first male solo Latin artist to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, delivering a performance in Spanish that celebrated various musical styles and included messages of unity. His performance faced criticism from Donald Trump and his supporters, who deemed it un-American and terrible. Despite the backlash, Bad Bunny's show may have reached a larger audience than the alternative MAGA halftime show. California Governor Gavin Newsom praised Bad Bunny, while Green Day performed without overt political statements.
