nobody considers it "political" except for the same snowflakes who cried about the Cracker Barrel logo and tried to make that idiotic issue somehow political.

not sure why this is so hard for the chuds to understand. instead of rolling out a rich kid who grew up on an apple orchard in Michigan cosplaying as white trash rapping about wanting to bang underage girls whose popularity peaked in 1998, the NFL decided to showcase an artist who was the highest selling/streamed artist of 2025 (other years recently as well).

Bad Bunny is the highest-selling/most-streamed artist of 2025 according to Spotify Wrapped and Billboard, finishing the year with nearly 20 billion streams. He also topped Billboard’s Global 200 Excl. U.S. chart and had the top global album with DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.

Key 2025 details for Bad Bunny:
  • Spotify & Charts: Ranked No. 1 Global Top Artist for the fourth time (2020-2022, 2025).

  • Earnings: Estimated 2025 earnings of

    $66 million, driven by a 31-show residency in Puerto Rico, as reported by Forbes.

  • Top Album: DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS was the top global album on Spotify.

He surpassed artists including Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, and Drake to secure the top spot in 2025.
I bet that you drive your partner crazy.

had no idea Bad Bunny had the greatest ring entrance of all time in the WWE. this dude seems like a total boss can't lie...


I really don’t care about all the political and religious stuff in this thread. I don’t care which artist is the biggest in 2025. However, you crossed the line when talking about WWE. I thought Bad Bunny did a good job in the WWE but let’s not go crazy and call that the greatest entrance ever.

Green Day lead singer is Bi. Carlile is lesbian. Coco is straight so 1 out of 3 isnt bad. Mirrors the makeup of the US perfectly, right??!!
Green Day actually made an awesome album for you way back when we thought going to war for nonexistent WMDs and cratering the economy was the nastiest work Rs could do in this country.



i'm still 🤣 at you trying to shoehorn them into your gay panic attack though.

Man, yall say what you want. That was pretty great!! Didn’t understand a word he said, but the dancing and production value was through the roof.

Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin cameos were good.

I enjoyed it, even though I don’t know a single song except the Bruno Mars one lol.

Sorry not sorry.

Curious to see if people are actually not going to watch the halftime show of the world’s biggest artist in the biggest sporting event of the year

Update: due to licensing issues, TPUSA will not be allowed to stream their alternative anti-American halftime show on X


Wound up watching part of the TP one. Not bad at all.

Had Carrie Underwood. I’d rather look at her than a dude in a dress if we’re being honest here.

Showmanship! Enjoyed the heck out of it. Picked up the production-excellence torch where Kendrick left off. Bar is raised the last couple of years for sure. I love great performances. For me, Prince is the one who really pushed the envelope years ago. There’s been some great ones though the years.

I didn't actually know TBN was a thing. Thought it was some made up Turner broadcast network or something. But it's some Christian channel? Well that makes a ton of sense now 🤣

its hilarious when people use the term snowflake…especially behind a keyboard. Again I’m the furthest thing from a snowflake but you keep doing you

Well, in the great pantheon of sad, raunchy and off key SB halftime performers - what I saw from Bad Bunny was pretty tame. You take away the visuals - which were pretty amazing - and he ain’t much. To tune up for him, I spent a half hour watching several of his videos; so I knew going into the halftime show that the bunny wasn’t my cup of tea - so he didn’t disappoint me. But truthfully, Sinatra wasn’t my thing when I was 20, but he is now. Maybe if I live to be 125 I’ll dig Bad Bunny too.

The Gaga cabana bit was quite good. The visuals were great. The rest of it. Meh.

A word to people who wrapped themselves in their faith in this thread and do so with a pointed weapon.

If you're displeased with our culture I would suggest that coming at it with attacks and aggression isn't going to help persuade people. Ask yourself, what's the goal? Is it to condemn or to courageously demonstrates a better way?

All sides are losing when we treat each other so badly. It's one thing to have a spirited debate. It's another to turn to vitriol. I know I've fallen into that trap more than a few times on this board and I was wrong every time I let it get to that. Just because someone else say things like that doesn't mean we need to.

Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying the game. I hope you all have a great week. :)
