Andy Cohen has jumped to Bad Bunny’s defense after backlash erupted during the Super Bowl LX halftime show, using sharp sarcasm to silence critics unhappy with the Spanish-language performance.
After the big match, the Watch what’s happening live The host took to Threads, where he spent time directly responding to users criticizing Bad Bunny’s appearance at the 2026 Super Bowl.
One post that caught Cohen’s attention complained loudly about the lack of English during the halftime show.
“NOT A WORD IN ENGLISH ABOUT Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX HALF-TIME PERFORMANCE!!” the user wrote, calling it “disgraceful” and saying American sports had declined.
Cohen quickly pointed out the flaw in the argument, responding, “Lynda, your bangs are asking for help. Oh, and it’s Lady Gaga singing in English,” referring to the fact that the user had shared a clip from the show that actually featured Gaga’s performance in English.
When another Threads user attacked Bad Bunny’s style, claiming that “the majority of Americans don’t want to see men wearing dresses,” Cohen interrupted with a direct question directly related to the show itself: “Who wore a dress?”
THE Well done The executive also responded to a post in which a user translated Bad Bunny’s Spanish lyrics into English and criticized the NFL for promoting what it called “junk.”
Cohen responded with a pointed comparison, writing, “Now let’s read Kid Rock’s lyrics,” referring to the rocker who headlined Turning Point USA’s alternative “All-American Halftime Show,” hosted for viewers who objected to the NFL’s choice of a Spanish-speaking entertainer.
His sarcasm doesn’t stop there.
When a user praised Kid Rock’s performance at the Turning Point USA concert, calling it emotional and powerful, Cohen responded, “Me too. The idea that I can wear a jort and still look like a prune gives me hope of growing old! I’m getting a little foggy just typing it.”
Cohen also weighed in on criticism coming from the highest levels, questioning President Donald Trump’s comments during the halftime show.
“Has there ever been a time in history when the president’s opinion on the Super Bowl halftime show was relevant?” he wrote.
Trump took to Truth Social shortly after halftime to criticize Bad Bunny’s performance, calling it “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst” in recent Super Bowl history.
He went on to say, “No one understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially to young children watching all over the United States and around the world. »
He added that the spectacle was a “slap in the face” to the country.
Cohen’s outspoken defense came on a night when he was already in the Super Bowl spotlight, appearing in a NERDS Candy commercial during the broadcast.
But online, he made it clear that he wasn’t letting criticism of Bad Bunny, or Spanish-language music, go unanswered, using humor and pointed remarks to challenge negative reactions head-on.
