“Hate is Defeated by Love”: Bad Bunny’s Message of Unity at the Super Bowl

Bad Bunny delivered an impressive show at the Super Bowl halftime, presenting an ode to Puerto Rican culture and sending a message of unity with the slogan “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” His performance was historic, as he became the first artist to present a Super Bowl halftime show entirely in Spanish. The show by Bad Bunny provoked the angry reaction of Donald Trump, who described it as “terrible” and “an insult to the Greatness of America.” This reaction comes at a time of tension regarding immigration and the Trump administration’s policies. Bad Bunny chose not to make direct political attacks, but used the stage to promote a message of unity and highlight Puerto Rican culture. His performance put Puerto Rico at the center of a great celebration, combining traditional salsa with reggaeton and dembow rhythms. Despite the fact that the show was interpreted as support for immigrants and the Latin American community, there were no direct references against Trump. Bad Bunny has previously criticized Trump’s immigration policy.
