Bad Bunny had a powerful message for America on a football that he carried around during his groundbreaking Super Bowl LX performance.
The message was simple but powerful, and wasn’t immediately noticed by everyone.
Bad Bunny banished the haters with his performance at Super Bowl LX
Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny was a controversial choice for the Super Bowl LX half-time show, with Donald Trump and others calling for him to be replaced.
Some didn’t like his choice of language, and Turning Point USA even organized a separate event featuring Kid Rock in protest.
In the end, the performance went off without a hitch - although it even featured a real wedding on the field - and some appearances from celebrities from the world of music and beyond.
But the overarching message was one of love triumphing over hate, as shown on a big screen behind Bad Bunny during the event that read 'the only thing more powerful than hate is love', and through his words on stage.
Using English, the artist said ‘God Bless America’ at one point, and there was another message hidden away on a football that he carried with him throughout a lot of the performance.
It wasn’t immediately clear what was written on the ball
Despite the 31-year-old musician carrying the ball for a lot of the show, many were struggling to work out what it said.
One even asked: "Was there a message on the ball?"
A second wrote: “Can anyone can tell me what was clearly written on the ball that Bad Bunny held up?
“Because I know it was political as heck.”
Well, towards the end of the show, all was revealed.
Holding the ball towards the camera, Bad Bunny revealed that it read: “Together, we are America.”

His message didn’t chime with President Donald Trump.
He described the show as ‘absolutely terrible’ and ‘one of the worst ever’.
On Truth Social, he wrote: “It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence.
"Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.
"This 'Show' is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day - including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!
"There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD - And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
You can’t please everyone, right?
