"We are all Americans. Puerto Ricans are Americans. Chileans are American. Mexicans are Americans. Canadians are Americans. Everybody who lives in North and South Americas can claim that title. "Together, we are America," a message that was emblazoned on, appropriately enough, a football held in Bad Bunny's hand. That message - driven home as the flags of all the countries on the two continents were paraded around the field at the end of the production - was what will be remembered from this entirely fascinating 13-minute Halftime Show."
"What a triumph for Bad Bunny, the star who used his at the Grammys Awards one week earlier to issue an "ICE Out" statement and had millions wondering how he would use this even bigger platform to further support the Latin community. Instead, he just let the music do the talking - yes, in Spanish - and the point was driven home even more soundly than a hundred polished political soundbites could do."
"The eight-song performance was set in a tropical island setting - presumably, Bad Bunny's native Puerto Rico - and kicked off in rousing fashion with a triple-shot of "Tití me preguntó," "Yo perreo sola" and "EoO." Lady Gaga was made the first guest appearance of the show, turning out to sign a "Die With a Smile." Moments later, we'd get the second guest - Ricky Martin, who sounded incredibly strong on "El apagón." Bad Bunny closed his set, in a sea of colorful flags from around the Americas, with his smash hit "DtMF," the title track from "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" - which won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year award one week prior."
Bad Bunny delivered a 13-minute Super Bowl Halftime Show that centered pan‑American unity and Latin identity. The performance featured eight songs in a tropical island setting evoking Puerto Rico and was performed primarily in Spanish. The presentation ended with flags from across North and South America and the emblazoned slogan "Together, we are America." Guest performers included Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. The set included hits such as Tití me preguntó, Yo perreo sola, EoO, El apagón, and DtMF, the title track from Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which had recently won Album of the Year at the Grammys.
