Bad Bunny? Never heard of it.
But since Bad Bunny has nailed the Super Bowl LX halftime show, it must be a big deal.
So I googled it.
Turns out he is a 31-year-old Grammy-winning entertainer who topped Spotify downloads three years in a row before being bumped by Taylor Swift in 2023 and, again, in 2024. Score: Bad Bunny racked up 38.3 downloads and Swift had 52.7 downloads through 2025.
How did I miss it?
I turned off pop music after high school with no interest in acid rock, heavy metal, or hair bands that get rich by screaming on pitch. I tried country music, but found it sounds like grits taste. My music of choice has always been southern gospel, Beach Boys, and, forgive me, Motown.
Rap? Grits, liver, and spinach casserole. They don't even sing.
Honestly, I would not recognize a Taylor Swift song if I heard one. And, until now, I never bothered to listen to Bad Bunny

Bad Bunny's upcoming Super Bowl LX halftime performance has ignited a conservative fuss over his advocacy for alien "rights" (in the USA, not Puerto Rico), gender "fluidity," and criticism of U.S. policies. Figures like President Trump and commentators decry the choice as unpatriotic, prompting Turning Point USA to launch a rival "All-American" show emphasizing faith and freedom. The NFL stands firm amid cultural clashes.

The Super Bowl Saga
Bad Bunny is set to headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. As one of the world's most streamed artists, his selection reflects the NFL's push toward broader cultural representation through Latin music. Yet the announcement has sparked intense criticism from conservative voices, who argue his political stances clash with traditional American values.
Roots of the Controversy
Benito Antonio MartÃnez Ocasio has long used his platform to address social issues. He has repeatedly criticized U.S. immigration enforcement under the current administration, including voicing fears that Immigration and Customs Enforcement could target fans at his concerts. This led him to skip U.S. mainland tour dates in recent years to protect attendees from potential raids. His outspoken support for illegal aliens and his endorsement of woke causes, including a past backing of mootbat Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, have positioned him as a vocal opponent of apple pie Americanism.
Additionally, his embrace of gender-fluid fashion and advocacy for homosexual rights—an ambiguous term—has drawn ire from those who see these elements as challenging conventional norms. Critics have focused on his music being primarily in Spanish, questioning whether it fits the patriotic expectations often associated with the Super Bowl stage.
Word Triggers
I turned to Google searching for controversial quotes. Here's what I found, translated to English.
• On ICE & Immigration: "Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say ICE out... We're not savages. We're not animals. We're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans" (2026 Grammy Awards).
Me: Seems he is identifying with illegal aliens. Are they animals? Some are savages, all are animals according to secular biologists. We are Kingdom, Animalia; Phylum, Chordata (vertebrates); Class, Mammalia (hair, milk, warm-blooded); Order, Primates; and Family, Hominidae.
From a Christian perspective, he is correct. We're not animals.
• On Puerto Rican Statehood: "Don't let go of the flag nor forget the lelolai—a traditional music style—because I don't want them to do to you what happened to Hawaii)."
I agree. The last thing we need are two more DNC senators.

Who are "they"? And, don't you think it odd that he wants to effectively gentrify America with aliens, but wants his neighborhood to remain Latino?
His neighborhood? He lives in an $8-million West Hollywood mansion, I read, and another $8-million "retreat" in Hollywood Hills [source]. Last I checked, those swanky hoods aren't bustling with Latinos.
• On Cultural Authenticity: "Now everyone wants to be Latino, but they lack seasoning."
I was just thinking last night as crawled into bed: Geeze. I wish I were Latino.
Prominent Conservative Responses
President Donald Trump has publicly dismissed the NFL's choice, calling it "absolutely ridiculous" and stating he would skip the game. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has suggested increased enforcement presence around the event. Conservative commentators have echoed these sentiments, labeling Bad Bunny as unpatriotic or disconnected from mainstream American audiences due to language barriers and his policy critiques. Some have even questioned his American identity, despite his U.S. citizenship through Puerto Rico.
Turning Point USA's Alternate Halftime Show
In direct response to Bad Bunny’s booking, the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA announced plans for its own “All-American Halftime Show” to run concurrently with the NFL broadcast. Billed as a celebration of faith, family, and freedom, the event emphasizes English-language performances and patriotic themes. It will stream on platforms including YouTube, Rumble, and conservative networks such as The Daily Wire and One America News. It will also be on Turning Point USA’s channel and X.com.You’ve
probably already seen the fake memes claiming various celebrities are
performing. One even featured Paul McCartney. Ignore them.
As of early February 2026, no specific performers have been publicly named, leading to speculation about the show's scale and appeal. Organizers insist multiple acts are confirmed and maintain that the initiative provides a meaningful alternative for viewers seeking different values in their entertainment.
Who would you like to see perform on the “The All-American Halftime Show”?
Cultural Divide in America's Biggest Stage
The debate highlights deeper divisions over identity, language, and politics in popular culture. That wasn't an issue when I was growing up in the 1950's and 1960's. Google said, "According to Census.gov data, the white population was 89.3% in 1950 and 88.6% in 1960. By the mid-1960s, the percentage remained consistently high before starting a slow decline." So. let's round up to 90 percent. And no one wanted to be Latino.
The NFL has reaffirmed its commitment to the selection, emphasizing Bad Bunny's massive global following and artistic impact. With the game days away, the halftime performance is poised to draw massive viewership, while the competing broadcast tests whether cultural counterprogramming can gain traction amid widespread attention on the main event.
Bad Bunny's net worth is about $100-million [source].
