Super Bowl LX was defined by more than the Seattle Seahawks’ dominant win over the New England Patriots. The night quickly became a flashpoint for cultural debate following Bad Bunny’s headline performance at the Apple Music Halftime Show and Donald Trump’s fierce reaction afterward.
Bad Bunny delivered a visually bold, Spanish-language set celebrating Puerto Rican culture, complete with symbolic staging and high-profile guest appearances. Fans and critics praised the performance for its creativity, cultural pride, and refusal to cater to traditional expectations of the Super Bowl stage.
Trump, watching from afar, condemned the show online, calling it “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst ever.” He criticized its use of Spanish, the choreography, and what he framed as a political message, turning the halftime show into another front in the ongoing culture war.
Supporters saw the performance’s closing message—emphasizing love, unity, and a multicultural vision of America—as powerful and timely. Detractors viewed it as inappropriate for a sporting event. As a result, the halftime show overshadowed the game itself, becoming a symbol of a deeply divided cultural landscape.
In the end, Super Bowl LX will be remembered not just for football, but for how music, politics, and identity collided on America’s biggest stage.
