 <\/p>\n

As the Super Bowl LX halftime show got underway on Sunday evening with Bad Bunny leading the highly anticipated performance, fans tuning in couldn\u2019t help but feel out of their depth as they realised they couldn\u2019t actually understand the performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Puerto Rican native\u00a0Bad Bunny<\/a>\u00a0conducted his entire set in his native tongue Spanish, which left a huge proportion of Americans – and the wider global audience – struggling to follow along as they didn\u2019t speak the language.<\/p>\n

Taking to social media to express their frustrations, one fan even branded it the \u201cworst\u00a0Super Bowl<\/a>\u00a0this century.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another user also echoed the sentiment, commenting, \u201cWhy as Americans are we watching the\u00a0Super Bowl half time show in Spanish<\/a>? With English being our national language, I could not understand a word. Not prejudiced, just don\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third user also echoed the same message, as they added: \u201cOk, I do think it was kind of weird that nearly the entire halftime show of the Super Bowl was in Spanish.\u2026 and I say that as someone who appreciates Latin culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile a fourth didn\u2019t hold back as they remarked: \u201cThe NFL having a Super Bowl Halftime Show where their performer sings ENTIRELY in Spanish & waves other nation\u2019s flags, is 100 % a political statement. Bad Bunny will go down as the worst halftime show in the history of the league. America deserved better for its 250th birthday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny\u2019s performance entirely in Spanish will come as no grand shock to fans of the\u00a0Grammy award winning singer<\/a>, as he has previously stated repeatedly that he doesn\u2019t see the value in changing who he is to appeal to a mass audience.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0told<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Vanity Fair in 2023 that he would \u2018never\u2019 sing in English ‘just because someone says I need to do it to reach a certain audience.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in Spanish, I feel in Spanish, I eat in Spanish, I sing in Spanish,\u201d he told the magazine. He has since put out seven studio albums, without a single full song in English.<\/p>\n

Not everyone was opposed to Bad Bunny’s performance however, with some praising the singer for his unique take on the iconic US sporting event.<\/p>\n

“I am an old white guy who doesn\u2019t speak a word of Spanish and I enjoyed the hell out of Bad Bunny\u2019s Super Bowl halftime show,” remarked one fan.<\/p>\n

A second also agreed, adding: “The Bad Bunny Halftime show during the Super Bowl was done so well. I don\u2019t speak Spanish but he\u2019s clearly very talented. The production was amazing. He seized his opportunity and crushed it. Congrats to him and the rest of the artists and performers.”<\/p>\n

Approximately 42 to 59 million people speak Spanish in the United States, making it the second-largest Spanish-speaking country in the world after Mexico. This population includes roughly 41\u201342 million native speakers, along with12-17 million bilingual or second-language speakers.<\/p>\n

Prior to his performance, during an appearance on\u00a0Saturday Night Live<\/a>\u00a0last year, Bad Bunny even jokingly encouraged his fans to learn Spanish ahead of his Super Bowl headliner, although he did later add that ‘dancing’ would also be a suitable alternative for those who hadn’t quite brushed up on their language skills in time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
