Steven Van Zandt Suggests Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show Required Subtitles
Bad Bunny performed at Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara, California on February 8, featuring multiple guest appearances throughout the show
Musician Steven Van Zandt criticized Bad Bunny's Super Bowl 60 halftime performance, arguing that the lack of subtitles could exclude non-Spanish speaking audiences. Although Van Zandt praised the production quality, he believed subtitles were necessary for accessibility.
The performance faced controversy before it occurred, with conservative groups organizing alternative events and former President Trump expressing disapproval. Bad Bunny, however, emphasized inclusivity during a press conference, stating that audiences didn't need to understand Spanish to enjoy the music and dancing. He shared an emotional tribute to his mother, Lysaurie Ocasio, crediting her support for his success.
The Puerto Rican performer aimed to celebrate his cultural heritage while making the show accessible to a broader audience.
