What Did Bad Bunny’s Football Say?
Bad Bunny’s football at the Super Bowl 60 halftime show had a clear message written on it: “Together, We Are America.” At the end of his performance, he spiked the ball in the end zone, then rotated it toward the camera so viewers could read that line, turning a simple prop into a political and cultural statement in front of more than 100 million football fans.
@SpencerAlthouse shared on X praising Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, highlighting the moment he named countries across the Americas and held up a football reading “together we are America,” calling it an iconic scene.
The moment fit neatly with the rest of his set, which leaned hard into Latin identity, immigrant stories, and the idea that American football’s biggest stage now belongs to more than one language or culture.
Instead of delivering a long speech, the artist let visuals do the talking: flags from multiple countries on the field, dancers representing different communities, and that one short sentence on the ball tying it all together.
It was a subtle move compared to past halftime controversies, but the wording – “Together, We Are America” – landed right in the middle of ongoing debates about who gets to define “American” culture in the first place.
Bad Bunny Set List at the Super Bowl Halftime Show
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl 60 halftime set list mixed fan‑favorite hits with newer tracks, designed to feel like a crash course in his career for casual football viewers.
The performance opened with high‑energy reggaeton and eased into more thematic songs that highlighted Puerto Rican roots, Latin pride, and his recent musical experiments.
Most outlets list a core set that looked roughly like this:
-
“Tití Me Preguntó”
-
“Yo Perreo Sola”
-
“Safaera”
-
“VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR”
-
“MONACO”
-
“NUEVAYoL”
-
“El Apagón”
-
“CAFé CON RON”
-
“BAILE INoLVIDABLE” / recent album cuts
-
“DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” (closing track)
Along the way, the show pulled in big guest moments: Ricky Martin joined for a collab section, while Lady Gaga appeared in a crossover segment that blended pop spectacle with Latin rhythms.
The field was staged like a bustling Latin American street – food stands, a mock wedding, dancers weaving through a market‑style set – which kept the football crowd visually hooked even if some didn’t recognize every Spanish lyric.
How Many People Watched the Turning Point Halftime Show?
The Turning Point USA “All‑American Halftime Show,” which ran as an alternative to Bad Bunny’s official performance, drew a peak of about 5.7 million live viewers on its primary stream.
For most of the 25‑minute show, its audience hovered between 4 and 5 million, then climbed toward that 5.7 million high as curiosity and controversy kicked in.
Some reports note that when replays and additional streams were counted, Turning Point USA’s event accumulated roughly 9.9 million total streams across platforms, including YouTube, after an initial plan to run it on X was dropped due to licensing issues.
Those numbers sound impressive on their own – any digital event pulling several million live viewers is big – but they are still tiny compared to a modern Super Bowl, which routinely crosses 100 million total viewers and likely even more with a global star like Bad Bunny headlining halftime.
In the end, the “Bad Bunny vs Turning Point” framing became part of the larger story: one show dominating the main broadcast and cultural conversation, the other playing to a more niche audience that preferred an English‑language, “patriotic” counter‑program.
