Bad Bunny made history as the first Latin artist to headline a Super Bowl Halftime Show, in addition to performing an entirely Spanish-language set. As a result, the Puerto Rican singer stole a considerable amount of attention amid the duel between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
Music Stars From Different Genres Praised Bad Bunny
His performance generated a wave of comments on social media, with several music stars reacting on their accounts to the performance of the current Grammy winner for Best Album.
One of the most notable reactions came from Kacey Musgraves, a country music artist who offered high praise: “That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done.”
Another very positive reaction to the Halftime Show came from Doechii, an American rapper best known for the song “What It Is (Block Boy).”
Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done.

The reactions were not limited to North American artists. On his Instagram profile, artist J-Hope (BTS) reacted very positively with a “wow!!” on a screenshot of the Halftime Show. On the same social network, Camilla Cabello wrote a complimentary message in Spanish saying, “Long live our beautiful Latin culture!”
Chris Brown Reacted Negatively To Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show
Not everyone reacted positively to Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show. Shortly after the performance ended, rapper Chris Brown took to social media and wrote “They Need Me!”, implying that the NFL will need to change its focus for the next Super Bowl.
Zach Bryan Blasts Turing Point USA Halftime Show
It is worth remembering that Turning Point USA decided to put on its own Halftime Show to protest against Bad Bunny’s presence at the Super Bowl, but the attraction did not please everyone.
In a deleted Instagram story, country music star Zach Bryan took a jab at Kid Rock: “I don’t care what side you’re on, a bunch of adults throwing temper tantrums and their own halftime show is embarrassing as hell and the most cringe shit on the planet”, wrote Bryan.
