Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl half-time show review – a thrilling ode to Boricua joy
The Grammy-winning Puerto Rican megastar delivered a powerful, detail-packed performance that paid tribute to his history and teased more greatness for his future

Let MAGA whine about Bad Bunny and the Super Bowl. Let them ruin their sleep and engage in performative outrage. Let them be miserable in their hate and racism.
The more we ignore their rage bait, the more they suffer.
