Bad Bunny ultimately won the war.
Bad Bunny might’ve been the most controversial halftime show performer in recent memory. Things got pretty bad with Kendrick Lamar’s announcement, but it never came close to this type of banter.
As soon as the NFL selected his name, social media lost its mind. The anger was so intense that Turning Point USA announced a separate halftime show. In the end, none of that mattered.
Bunny brought the party to the Super Bowl halftime show as he promised on Sunday night. The 31-year-old Puerto Rican superstar lived up to the hype, even if you didn’t understand a single word. Bad Bunny opened his performance at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with his 2022 hit “Tití Me Preguntó.”
A lot of people were watching him, even if it was to hate on the performance.
Bad Bunny Breaks Viewership Records
The highly anticipated NFL Super Bowl took place yesterday in Santa Clara. That meant Bad Bunny performed the hotly debated halftime show that fans wanted to walk out of. He recently won a Grammy Award for Best Album of the Year. His momentum could not be stopped.
Following the star-studded performance, some numbers started to emerge. Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime performance made history by drawing over 135 million viewers.
The All-American Halftime Show, which streamed online, drew in as many as 5 million viewers, according to the New York Times.
Official numbers for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance have yet to be released. If the initial numbers are correct, it was the most-watched halftime performance of all time.
