Or not…

He's a great choice to draw in Spanish speaking fans, especially with the emphasis on South American games.
Bad Bunny is currently the 12th most streamed artist on Spotify and he's hosting SNL.

And remember Taylor has been a huge star since before Spotify was even a thing. Drake's first album was 2010. The Weeknd's was 2012.

Bad Bunny's first album was late 2018.

If you average for 'years active' Bad Bunny is the #1 artist on Spotify by a considerable margin.

Consecutive #1s: He was the first artist ever to claim the top spot on Spotify's global streaming list for three years in a row (2020, 2021, and 2022). He was #2 in 2023 (behind Taylor Swift) and #3 in 2024 (behind Tayor Swift & The Weeknd)

Album Success: His album Un Verano Sin Ti was the most-streamed global album on Spotify in 2022 and 2023.

As of January 2025, the musician has had 113 songs enter the Billboard Hot 100, including the number-one hit "I Like It" (with Cardi B and J Balvin), and the top-five singles "Mia" (featuring Drake) and "Dakiti" (featuring Jhay Cortez).

He has released 4 albums in the past 5 years with all 4 reaching #1 on the US Billboard 200. El Último Tour Del Mundo in 2021 became the first all-Spanish-language album to reach number one on the US Billboard 200. His most recent album Debí Tirar Más Fotos (released in January) reached #1 on Apple Music in over 60 different countries.

Most of it is stupid. As are most of them.

triggered.

Snowflake woo woos

They were so fun together on SNL.

But Bad Bunny certainly has the resources to hire some kick-ass lawyers should anything happen.

They love to play the persecuted.

They love being miserable.

Just like claiming Haitians eat pets isn't about race. Or "Welfare Queens" isn't about race.

when "legacy Americans" are offended (I learned that white nationalist term from Fox News and Tucker Carlson).

They finally have the America of their dreams. They control the entire government. Drumpf’s enemies are being charged with crimes. Immigrants are being tortured and shipped off to whatever country they find the most hilarious.

Minorities and women are being purged from the government.

And they are STILL not happy.

The President of the USA!

Such an embarrassment.

Damn these morons are dumb

Do they think he's stealing jobs from Kid Rock or whoever they want instead?

MAGAts should try reading books instead of banning them.

this should totally make their heads explode. I would love to see that, literally. It would be like the purge, only we'd have to deal with the rotting corpses. Hmmmm.

But seriously, it's like the NFL is trolling those people. I could foresee an attempt to scuttle the booking which could work on the one hand given the NFL's corporate weak backbone, but on the other hand would make magaville look so stupid and petty that it would backfire on them.

But I honestly think it's really about reaching out to the Central and South American audiences they're attempting to build. It's not different than a recent article about how London wants to make major offers for more games and even a Super Bowl.

Bad Bunny is a smart move to appeal to international audiences.

Sometimes I get taken too seriously from a congenital issue where my tongue is embedded in my cheek.

I'm a contractor for a cable provider and recall having to get up early a few times a few years ago to route feeds and data for early morning NFL games from London. I'm also congenitally NOT a morning person.
