Bad Bunny was set to make history as the first Latin solo artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, a performance that sparked debate and discussion due to its potential political undertones, according to Time. The selection of the artist, following the Grammy Awards where several celebrities criticized President Donald Trump's immigration policies, prompted questions about the show's potential to take a political stance.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the choice, stating that Bad Bunny was "one of the great artists in the world" and understood the platform he was on, according to Time. Singer Brantley Gilbert, however, defended TPUSA's alternative halftime, noting that it had been over two decades since a country artist was asked to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, as reported by Variety.
The upcoming performance comes at a time of heightened political tension. President Trump's past comments and actions, including false accusations against Haitians, have caused concern among Haitian communities in America, as reported by Vox. The president's rhetoric and policies have led to worries about potential deportation, according to Vox.
In other news, US Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has become a national figure, known for her sharp attacks, according to Vox. Additionally, a new Peacock series is set to debut, which draws parallels to the film "Get Out," exploring themes of race and social dynamics in a suburban setting, as reported by Time.
