Bad Bunny gives Canada shout-out during Super Bowl LX halftime show

Canada got an unexpected shoutout during Super Bowl LX from halftime show performer Bad Bunny.

The six-time Grammy Award winner ended his Spanish-language performance at Levi’s Stadium with a message of unity. Walking towards the camera with a number of flagbearers behind him, including one carrying the maple leaf, he said the famous line “God Bless America,” before listing all the countries of South, Central and North America.

The 31-year-old recording artist notably finished with Canada, placing the Great White North after the United States and behind only his home territory of Puerto Rico. He ended by holding out a football with the text “Together We Are America” written on its face. Behind him, a billboard read “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

Bad Bunny has been a vocal opponent of the United States’ policies under President Donald Trump, speaking out against the recent actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The prominent positioning of Canada in his final message could be interpreted as an acknowledgement of recent political tensions between the two nations in light of Trump’s economic tariffs and 51st state comments.

The native of Bayamon, Puerto Rico, is a Global musical sensation who has been named Spotify’s most-streamed artist of the year on four occasions. His recent album Debí Tirar Más Fotos became the first Spanish-language album to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

The Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 to win the team’s second Vince Lombardi Trophy. No Canadian players participated in the NFL championship game.
