Tears in my eyes. It was the most respectful defeat. Colombia is a very strong & deserving winner. The fans are amazing. The players were very respectful as well. They didn’t make unnecessary dives or play in a dirty way. Colombia is a really great country
I started listening to Bad Bunny when I moved to Miami a few years ago.
It was always playing in the gym. I started to learn the songs, which started teaching me words in Spanish. Then some of the Dominican trainers at the gym and I became friends, and they started speaking Spanish with me.
It gave me a small taste of what it must be like for immigrants who don’t speak English to come to America and turn to movies, TV shows, and music to learn the language. And how quickly you can become friends with someone even when you only share a few words in common.
IMO that’s what Bad Bunny’s halftime show captured creatively.
Latin culture is special. And you don’t need to speak the language to be invited to the party, dance, and experience community & connection.
I’m glad he didn’t sing a single word in English.
It’s his party.
And I appreciate him inviting all of us, fluent or not, to be part of it.
Toñita apareció en el Super Bowl junto a Bad Bunny. Es la dueña del Caribbean Social Club de Brooklyn, uno de los últimos clubes sociales puertorriqueños que quedan en Nueva York y una figura icónica de la ciudad.
y entonces bad bunny hizo que lady gaga bailara salsa, ricky martin cantó lo que le pasó a hawaii, presumió el grammy que le ganó a los gringos, gritó que les falta sazón batería y reggaeton, llevó a Karol g a la casita, sacó banderas latinas y todo en tierra gringa
The Super Bowl halftime show didn’t feel like a protest. It felt like a homecoming.
Bad Bunny could have gone another route. He could have used the stage to confront. He could have named names. He could have turned the moment into a culture-war headline.
Instead, Benito chose something far more powerful: a celebration of Latino identity as it actually lives and breathes in the United States, and in AMERICA.
