Emily, known for hosting “The Emily Austin Show,” took to X to praise Bad Bunny’s performance. It wasn’t just one time; it was several times.

Post after post on Sunday showed Austin praising Bad Bunny’s visuals and overall performance.

“In a culture addicted to outrage, people are desperate to tear each other apart. Bad Bunny had the biggest stage in the world and could’ve made it political. He didn’t. He chose unity & love. Most of the criticism I’ve seen isn’t even about the music — it’s about his ethnicity. That’s weak. Music and sports are supposed to bring us together. You can celebrate different backgrounds and still love this country. That’s exactly what this Super Bowl performance did ❤️🇺🇸,” she said.

“Bad Bunny & a USA flag? YES PLEASE 😍,” Emily further added.

“I fear this halftime show ATE 🔥. And for those who didn’t watch, there was NO dress involved…,” she stated.

“I lost followers for saying I enjoyed Bad Bunny’s show, and that’s okay. I don’t shape my opinions around approval. I speak honestly, even when it’s not popular. Not everyone who loves America and loves our President thinks the same way on everything. Different perspectives and shared love of our country is our strength 🇺🇸. I’ll always choose authenticity❤️,” she finished with.

That right there shows a person can put away their politics when it matters.

Bad Bunny’s Apple Music Super Bowl halftime show fell short of the record for most-watched Super Bowl halftime show, but he still made history. Bunny’s halftime show on NBC averaged 128.2 million viewers, according to Nielsen’s Big Data + Panel rating system.

His numbers made it the fourth-most-watched halftime show in Super Bowl history. His performance is behind Kendrick Lamar (133.5 million – 2025), Michael Jackson (133.4 million – 1993), and Usher (129.3 million – 2024). He wasn’t first, but he is in the top 5 all-time.
