Last fall, Bad Bunny was announced to headline this year’s show, a pick that sparked both a burst of Latin Pride and criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump and some of his supporters.
He performs in Spanish and is expected to do so at the Super Bowl.

Bad Bunny, 31, has immense global popularity and is a known hitmaker who ties his music to Puerto Rican identity, colonial politics and immigrant struggles. His Super Bowl announcement included a pointed dedication: “This is for my people, my culture, and our history.”
