Bad Bunny's Love Show Sparks Political Firestorm

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show sparked both celebration and controversy, drawing criticism from conservatives and former President Donald Trump while also being lauded for its message of love and inclusivity. The performance, which took place during Super Bowl LX, prompted a call for investigation from a Republican congressman, according to multiple sources.

The Puerto Rican singer's 13-minute set featured flag bearers representing countries across the American continent, culminating in the message "The only thing more powerful than hate is love" displayed on the stadium's jumbotron, as reported by Time. This message, along with Bad Bunny's previous statements, including his condemnation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Grammy Awards, fueled the controversy.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R, Tenn.) took his offense a step further, posting a letter on X calling for an immediate inquiry into the National Football League and NBCUniversal, according to Time. This followed criticism from former President Donald Trump, who called the performance "absolutely terrible and an affront to the Greatness of America," as reported by Variety.

The performance was not universally condemned. Jon Stewart, on "The Daily Show," satirized the conservative backlash, highlighting the show's celebratory and inclusive nature, according to Variety. Jimmy Kimmel also criticized Trump's negative review, mocking his assessment and referencing other conservative reactions, as reported by Variety.

Bad Bunny had hinted at his message of love during his acceptance speech for Best Música Urbana Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, saying, "If we fight, we have to do it with love," according to Time. The show's focus on love and unity was a deliberate choice, as the singer chose not to play into the hands of those who assumed that United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be the nucleus of his performance, according to Time.
