President Donald Trump criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime performance, calling it “disgusting.” Trump opted not to attend the championship game, citing a “distance issue” rather than his dislike for the artist. Bad Bunny, on the other hand, subtly targeted the American president during his show by featuring his Grammy’s speech on a small television, where he mentioned “ICE out” before thanking God.
In response to the performance, Trump took to social media to express his disapproval, labeling the Super Bowl halftime show as “absolutely terrible” and one of the worst ever. He criticized the show for not aligning with American greatness and standards of success, creativity, and excellence. Trump particularly objected to Bad Bunny’s lyrics and dance moves, stating that they were inappropriate for young audiences in the U.S. and globally.
Additionally, Trump criticized the NFL’s kickoff rule, urging for its immediate replacement and reinforcing his “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” slogan. Bad Bunny concluded his controversial halftime show with a message on love being more powerful than hate, accompanied by flags representing various countries within the United States. While some viewers supported the performance as a celebration of America, others expressed mixed reactions, with one viewer appreciating the production quality despite personal music preferences.
Bad Bunny ended the halftime show by saying, “God bless America,” emphasizing a positive message. Super Bowl 60 is scheduled to feature the New England Patriots against the Seattle Seahawks on February 8, with fans able to watch live for a nominal fee through DAZN’s NFL Game Pass, providing access to the authentic U.S. broadcast, halftime show, and all NFL content until July 31.
