Sandler on Bad Bunny's halftime blowout
Sandler did not hold back on the performance, calling out how loose and joyful Bad Bunny looked on the biggest stage in sports. The set leaned hard into Puerto Rican pride, mixing in hits like Monaco, Denitreme, and Titi Me Pregunto, and bringing out a guest lineup built to melt the internet: Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, and Cardi B. It was a flex.
