Why Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Show Will Be a Landmark Moment for Puerto Rico

Bad Bunny staged a 31-date residency called No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, drawing half a million attendees and generating $733 million for Puerto Rico.
Bad Bunny said he avoided a continental U.S. tour over deportation concerns and publicly criticized Donald Trump while backing Kamala Harris, stating last year he will never forget Trump's actions toward Puerto Rico.
The shows featured collaborations with Puerto Rican artists such as Jowell y Randy, Arcángel and Marc Anthony, while Bad Bunny regularly invited LeBron James, Penélope Cruz and Kylian Mbappé.
Bad Bunny will perform in Spanish at the Super Bowl, a move seen as history-making despite some Trump supporters viewing the booking as divisive; Roc Nation founder Jay‑Z called his work for Puerto Rico inspiring.
Observers note the residency resonated amid rising anti-immigrant sentiment and raids, connecting deeply with the Latino and Spanish-speaking community amid immigration crackdowns in the U.S.
