United States President Donald Trump was outspoken about how much he disapproved of the NFL\u2019s choice of Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny, whose first language is Spanish, as the Super Bowl LX\u00a0 headline performer for the halftime show.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s a terrible choice,\u201d the President said. \u00a0<\/a>\u201cAll it does is sow hatred. Terrible. \u201d Trump was so displeased with Bad Bunny\u2019s selection that he didn\u2019t attend the game, after becoming the first sitting US President to attend the Super Bowl last year.<\/p>\n As public as Trump was with his concerns, the NFL stuck with Bad Bunny.<\/p>\n \u201cBad Bunny represents the global energy and cultural vibrancy that define today\u2019s music scene. As one of the most influential and streamed artists in the world, his unique ability to bridge genres, languages, and audiences makes him an exciting and natural choice to take the Super Bowl halftime stage,\u201d Jon Baker, the SVP of Global Event Production for the NFL, said.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWe know his dynamic performances, creative vision, and deep connection with fans will deliver the kind of unforgettable experience we\u2019ve come to expect from this iconic cultural moment.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump wasn\u2019t the only one who disapproved of the NFL going forward with a Spanish-language halftime show. Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk had the organization put together its own halftime show, headlined by Kid Rock and aimed at a more conservative audience.<\/p>\n However, the viewership for TPUSA\u2019s event paled in comparison to Bad Bunny\u2019s performance, and was even beaten by the Puppy Bowl, which garnered 15.3 million viewers.<\/a><\/p>\n According to Tim Hannan, the Puppy Bowl had TPUSA\u2019s show beat in viewers even before the final number of 15.3 million viewers was revealed.<\/p>\n The puppy bowl even outperformed TPUSA with 12M viewers.<\/p>\n
