Several days have passed since Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl halftime show and the conversation surrounding his performance continues to grow. The Puerto Rican artist not only delivered a show loaded with energy and visual production, but also took advantage of one of the most watched stages on the planet to deliver a cultural and emotional message that resonated with millions of people.
During his performance at the NFL finals, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio integrated clear references to Latin America as an essential part of the American continent, a vindication that was widely celebrated by the audience. With more than 128 million viewers following the event, the singer turned the show into a statement of identity and cultural pride that transcended the musical.
Bad Bunny: A message of unity that crossed borders
Beyond the staging, the so-called “Benito Bowl” -as it has been baptized in networks- has been interpreted by many as a symbol of union and love. Artists and public figures have used the impact of the show to reinforce the importance of embracing roots and building bridges based on respect and diversity.
One of the voices that joined the conversation was actress Anne Hathaway. The Oscar winner spared no praise when referring to the show. “The Benito Bowl was amazing; we loved it!” she enthused.
Hathaway went beyond artistic recognition and reflected on the message the singer conveyed from the stage. “I love all the people who are talking right now about how unity is built through love, how we need each other and how we should be oriented towards uniting and protecting each other. So I’m very happy to celebrate with those who believe in that and work for that,” he commented.
His words underscore how art can become a powerful tool to promote universal values, especially in a global context where divisive discourses often gain prominence.
Anne Hathaway and a wave of international support
Bad Bunny’s performance generated positive reactions both before and after the event. Several entertainment figures showed their support for the Puerto Rican artist. Among them were Katy Perry, Rosalia, Alex Warren, Jennifer Lopez and Benson Boone, who highlighted the magnitude of the achievement and the quality of the show.
Support also came from the world of cinema. Actors such as Adam Sandler and Penélope Cruz joined the messages of admiration, consolidating the idea that the impact of the show was transversal and reached different generations and artistic disciplines.
With this performance, Bad Bunny not only made history as a Latino artist at the Super Bowl, but opened a broader conversation about identity, representation and cultural pride. The backlash demonstrates that his performance was much more than a musical spectacle: it became a symbolic moment that continues to inspire reflections on unity and love as transformative forces.
The conversation continues, and the “Benito Bowl” already occupies a prominent place in the collective memory of global entertainment.
