After Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl, reactions were swift and varied. While some viewers celebrated the message of the show, others criticized it harshly. One thing is clear: the performance did not leave anyone indifferent.
During her morning press conference, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum described Bad Bunny’s performance as “interesting.” She said she agreed with the show’s message of unity, which reached across the Americas, including Latin America, the Caribbean, the United States, and Canada.
Sheinbaum also highlighted a key takeaway from the performance: that love is the best antidote to hate. She described the message as a positive one on one of the world’s most-watched stages.
Criticism from other quarters
Not all reactions were favorable. Public figures such as Donald Trump called the performance “the worst in Super Bowl history,” joining a wave of negative commentary that circulated primarily on social media.
Much of the controversy centered on the fact that Bad Bunny performed in Spanish rather than English. The discussion reignited debates about cultural diversity, Latin representation, and the role of the Spanish language on a global stage.
