Pink has built her career on fearless performances and speaking her mind and this week, she proved it once again. During her Las Vegas residency, the Grammy-winning powerhouse stopped mid-show to cheer on Bad Bunny after his playful clapback to critics of his upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance.
The Puerto Rican superstar made headlines earlier this month when he responded to concerns about singing in Spanish during the globally watched event. His answer a mix of humor and cultural pride – instantly went viral.
He also teased fans with a cheeky countdown: “You’ve got four months to learn Spanish.”
“Challenge Accepted,” Says Pink
Pink couldn’t resist joining the conversation. Midway through her Vegas set, she played a clip of Bad Bunny’s viral remark and laughed along with the crowd.
The audience erupted into cheers as Pink added playfully, “If Bad Bunny’s bringing that fire to the Super Bowl, I’m not missing a word of it. I might even surprise y’all and drop a little Español myself.”
Her spontaneous shout-out sparked thunderous applause and quickly made its way online, where fans celebrated the crossover moment.
Backing Bad Bunny’s Message of Musical Connection
Pink also used the moment to echo Bad Bunny’s stance on the universal power of music.
Her support added another voice to the conversation around cultural inclusivity and representation on one of the world’s biggest stages. Social media lit up with praise for the pop-rock icon’s message.
One fan tweeted, “Pink learning Spanish because of Bad Bunny is the cultural unity we needed!” Another wrote, “She gets it. Real music doesn’t need translation.”
A Super Bowl Show Everyone’s Talking About
Bad Bunny has promised a halftime performance that will “celebrate Latin music’s roots and future,” a promise that has energized fans while sparking debate among some viewers unfamiliar with Spanish-language hits. His response proud, witty, and confident-seems to be winning the conversation.
And now, with Pink publicly cheering him on (and joking about practicing Me Porto Bonito before February), anticipation is building even higher.
Two Fearless Artists, One Global Stage
Both Pink and Bad Bunny have earned reputations for authenticity and artistic courage. Her support of his vision feels like a passing of the torch between generations of performers who refuse to compromise their identity for the mainstream.
As Pink wrapped her message and launched into her next song, she left fans laughing and inspired.
If the Super Bowl halftime show needed more hype, this moment may have just added it along with a reminder that great music transcends language, and celebration is universal.
