In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, Stephen White breaks down Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show and the cultural meaning behind it. Far beyond spectacle, the performance became a statement about Puerto Rican identity, love as resistance, and the politics of inclusion on America’s biggest stage.
From Puerto Rico’s post–Hurricane Maria neglect to Bad Bunny’s activism during the 2019 protests, this deep dive explores how the halftime show reflects broader tensions around immigration, nationalism, and cultural visibility in the United States.
Why did the Super Bowl LX performance spark backlash from conservative commentators and political figures? And what does that reaction reveal about who gets to define American culture today?
The Last Mixed Tape is hosted by Stephen White, and is also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
