The Seattle Seahawks didn’t just defeat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX — they overwhelmed them. A suffocating defense, constant pressure, and a 29–13 final score made the game feel decided long before the final whistle.
On paper, it should have been a night defined by football dominance. Seattle controlled the tempo, neutralized New England’s offense, and delivered a defensive performance that left little room for debate.
Yet as confetti fell at Levi’s Stadium, attention shifted away from the field. The postgame conversation quickly became less about schemes and scores, and more about what happened at halftime.
Bad Bunny headlined the show with a high-energy, fully Spanish-language performance that leaned heavily into Latin culture. The stage featured a striking sugarcane field, while surprise appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin elevated the spectacle.
Inside the stadium and across social media, many praised the performance as electric and celebratory. But the reaction wasn’t unanimous. Some viewers complained about the language barrier, while others framed the show as political.
The loudest criticism came from Donald Trump, who posted a lengthy response on Truth Social calling the performance “absolutely terrible” and a “slap in the face.” Though not in attendance, his comments quickly became part of the night’s narrative.
As the show closed, two images stood out. Stadium screens displayed the phrase, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” followed by Bad Bunny raising a football reading, “Together we are America.”
For supporters, the message symbolized unity and inclusion. For critics, it felt ideological. Either way, it ensured the halftime show rivaled the game itself in headlines.
The Super Bowl has always blended sports and culture. This year, that collision proved just as memorable as the Seahawks’ dominant win.
