Anticipation was high before Bad Bunny took the stage for the Super Bowl LX halftime show, and his selection as headliner had already sparked debate. Some critics even promoted an alternative “All American” show, encouraging viewers to boycott his performance. However, regardless of prior opinions — and despite the performance being entirely in Spanish — many agreed the Puerto Rican superstar delivered an energetic and memorable show.

Bad Bunny had promised a “huge party,” and he delivered, with colorful visuals, powerful choreography, and surprise appearances from stars including Lady Gaga and Pedro Pascal. As the excitement settled, viewers began noticing small details they had missed during the performance, including a message written on the football he carried on stage.

Fans quickly took to social media asking what the writing said. During the show’s finale, Bad Bunny — whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — lifted the ball to reveal the message: “Together We Are America.” At the same time, the screen behind him displayed another message: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” Many viewers interpreted the moment as a call for unity.

Despite the positive reaction from many fans, the performance also drew criticism from some political figures. Former President Donald Trump publicly expressed strong disapproval, calling the show inappropriate and claiming it did not represent American values.

Even with mixed reactions, the halftime show once again proved its ability to spark conversation worldwide.
