And then there was the confusion that curdled into dismissal. People admitting they thought the artist was a woman, while others claimed they couldn’t name a single song, effectively turning the Bad Bunny Super Bowl announcement into a litmus test for cultural relevance. People declaring the choice terrible without knowing anything about the work itself. Ignorance offered as evidence. As if unfamiliarity were proof of unworthiness.

As the noise built, there was also a quieter thread of inevitability running underneath it all. Bad Bunny is huge, and the Bad Bunny Super Bowl is only going to get bigger. The harder certain groups push against him, the more they turn him into a household name. Resistance has a way of amplifying what it tries to suppress. Some of us imagined the performance itself, speculated about guests, wondered how much Spanish would be on that stage. Maybe he’d do most of it alone. Maybe one or two familiar faces would appear to balance things out. Or maybe he’d lean fully into reggaeton, bring everybody out, make it impossible to ignore. There was something thrilling about that possibility. A true reggaeton experience, unapologetic, filling the stadium with sound that wasn’t designed to comfort everyone equally.
()In the end, there was no resolution, no agreement. Some people would watch and sing along. Others would mute the TV or leave the room. Some would rage online. Some wouldn’t care at all. The Bad Bunny Super Bowl would still happen. The game would still be played. The world would keep turning. But something would linger. The image of a Spanish-speaking, brown-skinned, unapologetically political artist standing on the biggest stage in American sports. Not asking to be understood. Not translating himself. Just existing. And maybe that’s the point. Not to win anyone over. Not to force unity. Just to mark the moment when it became impossible to pretend that the old expectations still fit the country watching.
