Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show sparked a cultural conversation, with the official Democratic Party X account highlighting the performance as "All-American," while also drawing satirical responses to conservative backlash, according to Variety. The show, which took place on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, served as a focal point for discussions about cultural representation and inclusivity.
The halftime show, as reported by Vox, was seen by some as a demonstration that "woke" culture was still relevant. Constance Grady, a senior correspondent for Vox, noted that the performance challenged the narrative that the right had captured the culture. The event also became a subject of debate, with Variety reporting on the satirical responses to any conservative criticism.
Super Bowl 60, which featured the Seattle Seahawks' victory, also saw a significant focus on advertising. CBS News reported that brands spent millions on commercials, with Google's Gemini spot being highlighted as a success due to its effective use of humor and emotion. Conversely, Coinbase's ad was criticized for lacking clarity about its product and benefits. The prevalence of AI-related products in commercials was a notable trend, according to CBS News.
The Super Bowl's impact extended beyond the entertainment itself. The event occurred amidst a backdrop of other global events, including discussions on AI ethics, worker burnout, and global political events, as noted by Variety. The news also covered a US judge blocking a deportation amid nuclear tension concerns and allegations against Prince Andrew.
