@flaki he’s a Puerto Rican mega celeb, first Latin American solo musician at the game no one else cares about, this made Trump angry, they organized a counter concert featuring Kid Rock, which was bad, and even tho I’m not a fan of that style of music Bad Bunny is an incredible showman and he had a great message of unity and humanity. He also let many Latin Americans feel seen, with the set and design and everything that was going on, the dancing was amazing, so was the camerawork, and at the end he dedicated it to America: all of it (listed all the countries of the Americas.. somehow missed Suriname and Belize). It was a joyful message that I specifically needed right now. It was also entirely in Spanish, which made some people very angry.

@flaki he's from Puerto Rico (a US territory) and sings almost exclusively in Spanish. He's also really popular, and a US citizen.

However, the fascists and slave catchers in control of the country don't consider him to be a citizen, and are very freaked out about it, and the singing in Spanish (oh gods, they are freaked out about the singing in Spanish.)

But the Superbowl organizers have been bringing in very popular musical acts to do the half time for years because more people will watch their favorite artists, even if bracketed by a boring american rules football game, than just the boring football game.
