Yes... his politics are severely anti-ICE/anti-Trump and he flaunts this in his performances. But whether you know it or not Latin music -in Spanish -is NOW mainstream. That Bad Bunny has become mainstream is irrefutable, given he was the most streamed artist on Spotify for three years from 2020 to 2022, has the most streamed album in the history of Spotify (Un Verano Sin Ti).
Giving Bad Bunny the space to spotlight his culture and politics is a bold move for the NFL, But it is a choice that makes sense. The Super Bowl halftime show is about money and viewership. Bad Bunny has already brought in the cash and will most certainly bring in the viewers, even if they aren't all white and English speaking.
So MAGA fans... grin and bear it and pray Bad Bunny does not have a "wardrobe malfunction" since he's a big supporter of trans rights.
