P!nk 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.
“It’s not about understanding every lyric,” Bad Bunny said in an interview. “It’s about feeling the music. That’s the language everyone speaks.”
He also teased fans with a cheeky countdown: “You’ve got four months to learn Spanish.”
“Challenge Accepted,” Says P!nk
P!nk 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.
“Four months?!” she said with a grin. “Challenge accepted — I’ve started learning Spanish, people!”
The audience erupted into cheers as P!nk 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
P!nk also used the moment to echo Bad Bunny’s stance on the universal power of music.
“That’s the truth,” she told her cheering audience. “Music connects us before words ever do. It’s soul — not subtitles.”
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, “P!nk 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 P!nk 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 P!nk 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 P!nk wrapped her message and launched into her next song, she left fans laughing — and inspired.
“I’ve got four months to practice,” she said with a mischievous grin. “Don’t be shocked if you hear me singing Me Porto Bonito next time!”
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.
