Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance featured a medley of his greatest hits, celebrity guest appearances, and performers like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin — it was epic, to say the least. Here's what people are saying:

5. Lady Gaga wrote on Instagram, "It was my absolute honor to be a part of Benito’s halftime show. Thank you Benito for inviting me and thank you to the entire cast for welcoming me onto your stage. I wouldn’t miss it for the world."

6.

It was so smart for Bad Bunny to have so much storytelling through visual aids, knowing just pacing a stage would not resonate as well to non Spanish speakers. Thematically the performance was universal and he set a high bar for production value moving forward.

Halftime show was objectively incredible. If you didn’t like it you’re hating or don’t understand fun. They turned a stadium into a house party. An impossible task executed effortlessly. Bravo 👏

9. Lincoln Fox, who portrayed a young Benito during the halftime performance, shared a heartfelt Instagram post. "An emotional, unforgettable day being cast as the young Benito — a symbolic moment where the future hands the past a Grammy. A reminder that dreams come true and that it’s never too early to dream big," he wrote.

11. John Leguizamo shared an emotional video on Instagram with the caption, "I’m crying with pride! There was so much luv against hate! And love wins every time!"

Bad Bunny halftime show was next level. Was out of my seat dancing. And smiling. This is joy. This is culture. This is humanity. This is the promise of the United States. The opposite of hate.

I love how Kendrick Lamar performance was unapologetically black last year and Bad Bunny show is unapologetically Latin this year

Couldn’t disagree more, Mr President. I absolutely loved Bad Bunny’s halftime show. Amazing (best in Super Bowl history?) theatre/choreography, great energy, superbly confident performance, and a very welcome unifying message.

I’m sorry but I just genuinely question your taste level if you didn’t enjoy the Bad Bunny halftime show.

And everything in life doesn’t have to be ruined with politics.

If you actually paid attention to Bad Bunny’s performance, you didn’t need to know any words to absorb the culture & storytelling. It was on full display

You see how black folk supported Bad Bunny and respected his culture while letting Puerto Rico have their moment without diminishing them being Americans….

DO YOU SEE THAT?

And, as for the people who didn't like the halftime performance... I don't care. I'm not sharing those negative (mostly bigoted) reactions here. You can go somewhere else for that.
