"One of the most popular music acts in the world, the "Me porto bonito" singer is a staunch critic of this administration and its Gestapo-like immigration crackdown. With a distinguished history of anti-Tr*mp rhetoric, Bad Bunny has provided MAGA with plenty of real material to stew over. Yet, the far-right has decided to focus on the most stupid rumor possible heading into the game."
"Out of nowhere, a story popped up on X, otherwise known as MAGA's digital breeding ground, that Bad Bunny is planning to wear a dress for the halftime show. Never mind that the so-called "report" wasn't sourced and didn't include any verifying info. For the online right, it became gospel. "This will easily be the lowest viewed halftime show of all time," posted an account called "Polymarket Football." MAGA sh*tposters started proclaiming the NFL "doesn't understand" its audience, despite all evidence to the contrary."
Bad Bunny's upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance triggered intense backlash from right-wing online communities after an unverified rumor claimed he would wear a dress. The rumor spread rapidly on X and was amplified by MAGA-aligned accounts despite lacking sources or verification. Critics used the claim to attack the NFL and predict lower viewership, even as NFL broadcasts averaged 18.7 million viewers this past season, the league's second-highest average ever. Bad Bunny is a vocal critic of the administration and a staunch LGBTQ+ ally known for gender-bending fashion choices, including minidresses, heels, and tuxedo tops with skirts.
