And Trump’s rant on Truth Social following the show proves he definitely did pay some sort of attention to what was going on too.
The POTUS branded Bad Bunny’s show – which was performed in Spanish – as ‘absolutely terrible’ if not, ‘one of the worst EVER’, adding: « Nobody understands a word this guy is saying. »
The president of the United States slammed the show as making ‘no sense’ and being ‘an affront to the Greatness of America’ not representing ‘standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence’.
Whether Kid Rock’s alternate halftime show could be considered as meeting such standards, well, we’ll leave that up to you to decide.
The president could’ve also tuned into Turning Point USA’s alternate halftime show too. After all, Rock is pro-Trump.
But perhaps the POTUS simply wasn’t in the mood to see Kid Rock’s ’embarrassing’ performance – if you could call it that given the singer has been accused of lip-syncing.
Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show was already groundbreaking before it had even begun, as the first-ever Spanish language music set to grace the biggest date in the NFL season.
The symbolism of the moment was clearly not lost on Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, who packed his roughly 15-minute set with Latin American cultural and artistic references, as well as a few pointed messages.
Bringing the sugarcane fields of Puerto Rico to San Francisco’s Levi’s Stadium, Ocasio dressed all in white as he belted out his biggest tracks and wheeled past famous faces like Cardi B and Pedro Pascal, even featuring Lady Gaga in a surprising guest spot.
But it was one of the smaller moments that many will have missed that some found to be the most poignant of the night.While tearing through the fields surrounded by pulsating dancers, the rapper briefly bent down to a small boy.
This young boy, who was stood in front of a TV, was then handed a Grammy by Bad Bunny.
