Kid Rock, who headlined the rival \u201cAll-American Halftime Show,\u201d gave his review of Bad Bunny\u2019s Super Bowl Halftime performance<\/a> during a Monday appearance on Fox News\u2019 \u201cThe Ingrahm Angle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLike most people, I didn\u2019t understand any of it,\u201d Rock said of the show (via The Wrap<\/a>), which Bad Bunny performed entirely in Spanish. \u201cI saw there\u2019s a lot of dancers and a lot of big to-do stuff. And, you know, he said he wanted to have a dance party; it looked like he had one.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cNot my cup of tea, but I don\u2019t fault that kid for doing the Super Bowl, getting in front of a global audience. I fault the NFL for putting him in that position and Turning Point for having to come out and have an alternative for people to watch. You know, it\u2019s just \u2014 poor kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rock wasn\u2019t the only conservative voice with criticism for Bad Bunny, who is largely shunned by the Right for his outspoken objections to ICE and Puerto Rican roots. President Donald Trump posted a scathing review<\/a> on Truth Social shortly after Bad Bunny ended his set.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social. \u201cIt makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn\u2019t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This \u2018Show\u2019 is just a \u2018slap in the face\u2019 to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day \u2014 including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny hasn\u2019t been without supporters, however. Pop sensation Lady Gaga, who performed alongside Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, wrote on Instagram<\/a> that it was her \u201cabsolute honor\u201d to sing with the album of the year winner.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThank you Benito for inviting me and thank you to the entire cast for welcoming me onto your stage,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t miss it for the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bravo host Andy Cohen was also vocal in his support of Bad Bunny. He went on Instagram Threads to troll anyone taking shots at the Puerto Rican superstar. One Threads user wrote that the \u201cAll American Halftime Show\u201d had them \u201cfighting back tears,\u201d to which Cohen replied<\/a>, \u201cMe too. The idea that I can wear jorts while looking like a prune gives me hope about getting older! Kinda getting misty just typing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
