"As blue, red and white fireworks filled the sky at the end of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl half-time show, a message filled the screen in all capitals: The only thing more powerful than hate is love. It was the enduring statement from a 13-minute spectacle that invited an estimated 135.4 million viewers into Bad Bunny's world, with richly textured references to politics, history and Puerto Rican culture."
"The artist born Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio transformed the pitch of the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, into his own love letter to the island, with cinematic set pieces including sugarcane fields, a house party, and a lively wedding ceremony featuring a surprise performance by Lady Gaga. By contrast, the rightwing Turning Point USA's All-American Halftime Show drew just 5.2 million viewers."

The show drew an estimated 135.4 million viewers and featured references to politics, history and Puerto Rican culture. Set pieces included sugarcane fields, a house party and a wedding ceremony that featured a surprise Lady Gaga performance. Turning Point USA's competing All-American Halftime Show drew about 5.2 million viewers and featured Kid Rock performing against a stars-and-stripes backdrop, with apparent partial lip-syncing. Reactions split along political lines, with Donald Trump criticizing the show and other public figures praising it.
