Bad Bunny didn’t just perform songs in Spanish at the Super Bowl — he honored that Blackness and lived experience of the Puerto Rican diaspora into every beat and visual. That’s why this moment meant so much to so many.

#BadBunny’s #SuperBowl halftime show sign-language interpreter on how they first met during his 2022 world tour:

"During the residency, I was the interpreter, but I didn’t have any interaction with him. But at the Super Bowl, I met him, and he recognized me. The [Deaf] community had started seeing Bad Bunny [rise to fame], and they wanted to go to the concert. We asked the managers of El Choli (the residency venue) for interpreter accommodation, and they DM’ed me asking if I was able to interpret, and I accepted. We fought very hard to have an interpreter at that concert, step by step. Now we have more accessibility and more interpreters at the concerts."

The producers behind the #SuperBowl halftime show say that #BadBunny "refused to wear a harness" while climbing the utility pole.

“He was like, ‘I don’t need it.’ There are all kinds of legal ramifications to that, which is not really my thing, but interestingly enough, when he decided he wasn’t going to wear a harness we were able to then put a camera on the pole to look down at him climbing up!”

“There was all safety and rigging and all of that available, obviously, of course, but he didn’t want it. He does his own stunts, that guy, and he learned it in about three minutes. Straight up that pole. At rehearsal, we were all like, ‘is he gonna be OK?’ But he just went straight up there and managed his vocals. Very agile. He could just, like, handle anything.”

The producers of #BadBunny’s #SuperBowl halftime show break down the stunt where he crashes through the roof:

“The stunt itself, to fall through the roof, wasn’t so crazy. There’s like a trap door. They just literally open it and pull it out underneath him. But it required so much meticulous planning, because  we cut straight into the pre-tape. Inside the pre-tape was the shot on the TV of him falling through the roof of the Super Bowl — so the family in the in la casita were watching the Super Bowl live, and then he fell onto their table. That’s basically two different pre-tapes: The pre tape inside the house, and then there’s the pre tape on the field of him falling through the roof during the dress rehearsal. And then comping that all together, then cutting to the transition of him falling through the roof and be able to kick the front door open.”

i heard a lady on a podcast say...."I finally get it...I am the problem. I walk into people's life with energy, loyalty, love, and peace they never had...and truthfully, never deserved.

i disrupt their comfort zone of chaos. they're not used to real. they're addicted to dysfunction. that's why they start acting weird... because my presence requires growth, and they aren't ready for that.

cool I'll take a step back. keep your mess. i’ll keep my peace!!
