"If you thought Bad Bunny wasn't going to shout out Puerto Ricoafter playing a clip of his own Grammys speech from last week, in which he shouted out his home, he symbolically gifted his Grammy to a young boy and cut to Puerto Rican icon RICKY MARTIN (!) and, not to be outdone, climbed some sparking power poles for El Apagon, his protest anthem about local displacement, corruption and rolling blackouts in Puerto Rico."
"Oh hell yeah, we're really cooking now in quick succession, Bad Bunny crashes through the house of the casita, nods to Puerto Rican reggaeton history with the opening chords of Daddy Yankee's Gasolina, shifts seamlessly into DTMF track EoO and introduces himself to the crowd in Spanish, of course.

Accompanied by an army of female dancers and a casita full of partiers (is it just me, or did I spy Pedro Pascal?), Bad Bunny is now on the roof, presiding over a massive fiesta."
Bad Bunny's Grammys performance combined exuberant dance numbers with pointed Puerto Rican references and protest imagery. He shouted out Puerto Rico, gifted his Grammy to a young boy, and cut to Ricky Martin before climbing sparking power poles during El Apagon, a protest anthem about displacement, corruption and rolling blackouts. The set moved through uptempo tracks including BAILE INOLVIDABLE and Nuevayol, featured a Latin-ized duet with Lady Gaga, and nodded to reggaeton history with Daddy Yankee's Gasolina. Large female dancer ensembles, casita-set theatrics, and rooftop fiesta staging created an immersive party atmosphere. An AI-generated vodka ad with dancing robots has prompted concern about VFX artists losing work.
