Bad Bunny, the Super Bowl and the Fight For America’s Identity
The Super Bowl halftime show has never just been entertainment, it’s a mirror.

This year, that mirror has exposed a deep cultural divide in America. The announcement of Bad Bunny as the halftime performer sparked backlash from right-wing politicians and commentators, alongside the creation of an “alternative” halftime show framed around faith, tradition, and so-called American values.

In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, we explore how pop culture, identity, and power collide on the biggest stage in the country. From the backlash to Spanish-language music at the center of American spectacle, to the rise of a parallel cultural event designed to push back against a changing nation, this video examines what the Super Bowl reveals about who gets to belong and who gets pushed to the margins.
