Bad Bunny performs at halftime, a choice NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell described as follows:
"He's one of the greatest artists in the world. I'm not sure we've ever selected an artist where we didn't have some blowback or criticism. It's pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching."
The artist himself stated:
"This is for my people, my culture, and our history."
