President Donald Trump criticized Bad Bunny\u2019s Super Bowl LX halftime show<\/a>, calling it “absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER,” in a post on social media on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Trump called the show a “‘slap in the face’ to our country,” saying there is “nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show.”<\/p>\n

“It 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,” Trump wrote.<\/p>\n

Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny has faced a wave of conservative backlash since he was announced as the Super Bowl performer last year.<\/p>\n

The Grammy-winning\u00a0artist brought his Puerto Rican culture to the stage at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California, playing a collection of his hit songs in a predominantly Spanish performance.<\/p>\n

The show culminated with him showcasing the countries that make up the Americas, starting from the southern hemisphere with Chile to the northern hemisphere with Canada, and ending on Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny’s birthplace.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Within the first few minutes of the show, during one of his musical transitions, Bad Bunny referenced his journey to make it to the Super Bowl stage, saying, translated from Spanish, “It’s because I never, never stopped believing in myself, and you too, you too (as he pointed to the screen) should believe in yourself.”<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny sang as he walked through a set designed like sugar cane fields, widely representing those in the Caribbean, like Puerto Rico and Cuba. He also stopped at a shaved ice stand, known as piragua.<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny went on to perform a large collection of hit songs, including “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” and “NUEVAYoL,” which he sang in front of a set design of a market called “La Marqueta.”<\/p>\n

At one point, Bad Bunny was seen paying homage to his recent success, handing a Grammy Award to a young boy on stage.<\/p>\n

Fireworks erupted at the end of the performance during a rendition of his hit song “DtMF.”<\/p>\n

Lady Gaga joined Bad Bunny on the field, performing a Salsa-inspired version of her song “Die With a Smile,” followed by a performance by Latin star Ricky Martin.<\/p>\n
