What Was That American Meltdown Over Bad Bunny's Halftime Show? Three Puerto Ricans Explain It All

White Americans were officially terrified of a proud Puerto Rican man like Bad Bunny singing in Spanish as he took sips of coconut water while Latinos around the world were having a blast [la-times]. In this episode, three Puerto Ricans from the diaspora sit down to unpack why monolingual Americans absolutely lost their minds over a Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show featuring reggaeton music, upbeat hip moves, waves of the Puerto Rican flag and a performance delivered entirely in Spanish [MS NOW]. We explain the colonial panic and, most importantly, for those who still have doubts about it, we break down why this performance was political... indeed. Love the show?
