Piers Morgan is breaking ranks with Donald Trump again, this time over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show—and the clash is blowing up online.
After the Puerto Rican superstar delivered an all-Spanish performance on the NFL’s biggest stage, Trump wasted no time unloading on Truth Social. The former president blasted the show as “one of the worst, EVER,” arguing it failed to represent what he called the “Greatness of America.” He criticized the language, the choreography, and even suggested the performance was inappropriate for children watching at home.
Trump went further, claiming most viewers “don’t understand a word” of Spanish and accusing the NFL of disrespecting the country during what he framed as a period of record-setting economic strength. He also took aim at media outlets that praised the performance, calling them disconnected from what he described as the “real world.”
Enter Piers Morgan.
In a move that surprised some of his followers, the British broadcaster publicly pushed back. Posting on X, Morgan said he “couldn’t disagree more” with Trump and called the halftime show one of the best in Super Bowl history. He praised the staging, energy, and theatrical scale of the performance, describing it as confident and unifying.
Morgan also highlighted the fact that more than 50 million Americans speak Spanish as their first language, a pointed response to Trump’s complaint about the show being performed entirely in Spanish.
The back-and-forth quickly fueled debate across social media, with supporters on both sides weighing in. While Trump’s criticism dominated certain corners of the internet, critics and fans largely applauded Bad Bunny’s high-energy set. Viewership numbers and streaming metrics following the game suggest the performance resonated widely.
As for Morgan and Trump, their public disagreement only added another layer to an already polarizing halftime show—proving once again that when pop culture meets politics, the reaction rarely stays quiet.
