This year’s NFL Super Bowl LX official Halftime Show featured a joyous, star-studded performance from Grammy winner Bad Bunny, who welcomed fellow artists including Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Karol G and Cardi B, and wove messages such as “Together, We Are America” into his electrifying show.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Was an All-American Triumph. Turning Point USA’s Was a Boring MAGA Grift With Kid Rock.
Unfortunately, the All-American Halftime Show was unable to evoke much more than a shrug, with halfhearted pop-country performances that showed the limitations of booking a big show with minimal talent. (Variety)
As Bad Bunny and his fellow artists performed at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., during Super Bowl LX, the conservative nonprofit Turning Point USA held an alternative halftime show, welcoming Kid Rock and country artists Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert and Gabby Barrett as performers for its “All-American Halftime Show".
On X, eight-time Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves praised Bad Bunny’s halftime show performance, while also taking aim at Kid Rock. She wrote of watching Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, “Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done.”
On Instagram, country singer Rissi Palmer wrote about being inspired by Bad Bunny’s performance.
Meanwhile, other commenters repeated one of the most impactful messages that Bad Bunny said during his recent Grammys acceptance speech: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
