Footage circulating online appears to show that the Super Bowl watch party held at Donald Trump’s golf club featured Bad Bunny’s halftime performance on its screens—despite the former president’s previously stated disapproval of the artist.
Super Bowl LX took place on February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The halftime show was led by Puerto Rican global star Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, marking a milestone as he became the first solo male Latin performer to headline the NFL’s halftime stage.
In the lead-up to the game, Trump publicly expressed a lack of enthusiasm for the entertainment lineup, which also included Green Day. At the time, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told members of the press that Trump would have strongly preferred to see Kid Rock perform instead of Bad Bunny.
Despite those comments, a video shared on social media seems to show Bad Bunny’s halftime set playing on large screens during a Super Bowl gathering at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The clip, posted to X, shows attendees watching the broadcast while Trump is visible in the background engaged in conversation with Senator Lindsey Graham. The caption accompanying the post criticized the situation as contradictory, noting that the event was airing Bad Bunny’s performance rather than a Kid Rock appearance.
Although it remains unclear how much attention Trump paid to the halftime show itself, the broadcast was clearly displayed throughout the venue. His later remarks suggest he saw at least part of it. Writing on Truth Social, Trump sharply criticized the performance, describing it as “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst halftime shows ever.” He also commented that “no one understands what he’s saying,” referring to the fact that the performance was delivered primarily in Spanish.
