Talk show host Andy Cohen took to Threads immediately after the Super Bowl 2026 halftime show to address critics of Bad Bunny's performance, wittily replying to numerous negative comments. The 'Real Housewives' executive producer responded to many troll posts, extending his support for the Puerto Rican singer's show.
The performance sparked significant backlash, particularly from some conservatives criticizing the NFL for hiring an artist whose songs are not in English. In response, Turning Point USA produced an alternative 'All-American Halftime Show' featuring Kid Rock.
Cohen engaged directly with critics on social media. To one user complaining about the lack of English lyrics, he quipped, 'Lynda, your bangs are begging for help. Oh, and that's Lady Gaga singing in English.' To another who translated Bad Bunny's lyrics to criticize them, Cohen replied, 'Now let's read Kid Rock's lyrics.' He also humorously commented on the alternative concert and addressed a response from former President Donald Trump, questioning its relevance.
The debate over Bad Bunny's 2026 Super Bowl halftime performance continues to rage on social media platforms.
