With a 35-year career, Alejandro Sanz has established himself as one of the most influential figures in Spanish-language music. Throughout his career, the singer-songwriter from Madrid has not only stood out for his talent, but also for his frankness.
He tends to share what he thinks and feels without worrying too much about criticism, an attitude that on more than one occasion has placed him at the center of the debate on social networks. However, the artist is clear about his approach: prioritize his music and stay true to his path.
On this occasion, his name generated conversation again after Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl halftime show.
The Puerto Rican’s show divided opinions and provoked multiple reactions inside and outside the music industry. Although Sanz did not comment negatively on the performance, he did not join the wave of immediate public praise, which was enough for some users to interpret his silence as a critical stance.
Alejandro Sanz and his message that unleashed interpretations
Far from polemicizing, Alejandro Sanz used his X account to talk about his upcoming professional commitments. “Well, in three days I’m flying to Colombia to SING. I don’t understand the Super Bowl. You know more than I do. So I’m off to South America and I can’t wait to show you what I have in store for you. We’re going about our business and that’s how we don’t make a mistake. It’s coming AND NOW WHAT. I love you guys,” she wrote.
The use of the word “CANTAR” in capital letters and the phrase “no entiendo de Super Bowl” (I don’t understand the Super Bowl) generated diverse interpretations. Some fans considered that the message implied an indirect criticism of the show; others defended that he was simply focusing on his tour and his connection with the Latin American public. The truth is that the 57-year-old singer did not respond to the adverse comments and did not fuel the controversy.
What many remembered afterwards is that days earlier Sanz had dedicated a congratulatory message to Bad Bunny after his success at the Grammys. “My heart is full with what happened yesterday. Congratulations to Bad Bunny for this huge milestone… but above all, THANK YOU for making music the loudspeaker of the good, the beautiful, the real, the human, the TRUTH,” he wrote next to a video of the Puerto Rican artist during his acceptance speech.
This gesture evidenced his recognition of the cultural and artistic impact of the urban singer, although this publication did not have the same repercussion as the subsequent message about the Super Bowl.
Firm in its style and on its path
Alejandro Sanz, who recently won the Latin Grammy 2025 for Best Contemporary Pop Album and Record of the Year with “Palmeras en el jardín”, has maintained a respectful and supportive relationship with other musicians throughout his career. However, he has also been constant in defending his artistic identity and in not allowing himself to be dragged by trends or controversies.
In the midst of the digital noise, the Spanish performer seems to reiterate an idea that has accompanied him for decades: to remain focused on his music, his audience and what he considers authentic, letting other people’s interpretations take their own course.
