"A fantasy of palm trees, sugar cane, lampposts, domino games, women doing their nails, and corners between Old San Juan and New Yorkwith its market (La Marqueta, like the one in Harlem), its Casita, its barbershop, and a liquor store that simply said Conejoserved as the backdrop for Bad Bunny's dazzling confirmation as an icon for Hispanics in the United States and Latin Americans around the world."
"The performance, which can only be described as an out-and-out triumph for the Puerto Rican artist, took place on Sunday in Santa Clara, California, during the spectacular Super Bowl halftime show; U.S. President Donald Trump rushed to describe it as terrible regardless. It was actually el tiempo medio del super tazon, a literal translation of Super Bowl halftime, as it was seen in Spanish on the screen at the San Francisco 49ers stadium during the intermission of the NFL final between the Seahawks and the Patriots."
"A message said: Together we are America. Thus ended a dazzling and imaginative recital, which even included a real wedding, and other surprises such as Lady Gaga, accompanied by the Puerto Rican band Los Sobrinos, performing Die with a Smile (with which she won a Grammy alongside Bruno Mars last year) in a salsa style, before joining the star in Baile Inolvidable."
Bad Bunny staged a vibrant halftime show blending Puerto Rican and New York neighborhood imagery, including palm trees, sugar cane, lampposts, domino games, a market, casita, barbershop, and a liquor store labeled Conejo. The performance occurred in Santa Clara, California, during the Super Bowl between the Seahawks and the Patriots. The show presented Spanish-language elements, displayed el tiempo medio del super tazon on the stadium screen, and featured a dance troupe carrying national flags while Bad Bunny raised Puerto Rico's flag and shouted We're still here. The set included a real wedding, a salsa rendition by Lady Gaga with Los Sobrinos, and an appearance by Ricky Martin.
