The sporting world witnessed a defensive masterclass on February 8, 2026, as the Seattle Seahawks overwhelmed the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium. Yet moments after the final whistle, attention shifted from football to culture and politics. While Seattle celebrated its championship, the night’s biggest talking point became the Apple Music Halftime Show and Donald Trump’s fiery online response.
Headlined by global star Bad Bunny, the performance was a bold celebration of Latin heritage. Performing in a sugarcane-themed set honoring Puerto Rico’s history, the Grammy winner delivered a visually striking, high-energy showcase. Guest appearances by Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga amplified the spectacle, earning praise from fans for its creativity and cultural pride.
However, Trump criticized the show on Truth Social, calling it “terrible” and arguing that its Spanish lyrics and choreography were inappropriate. His remarks intensified an already brewing cultural divide, turning a championship night into a broader national debate.
