Who Were Those Guys That Sang At The Super Bowl LIV Halftime Show?

Immediately after Shakira and Jennifer Lopez's halftime show, I started seeing the Facebook statuses, "Who were those guys?".

Some people were speculating that Pitbull was going to show up and perform on stage with Shak and J.Lo. After all, it was in Miami, he's released songs with Lopez before, and he is a familiar name to many in the United States.

When Shakira started singing Cardi B's "I Like It", I half expected Lopez to come out and for the two ladies to sing together. But then I heard the unmistakable voice.

I've been a fan of the two guest singers, Bad Bunny and J Balvin, since 2016, but if you're not sure who they are, keep on reading!

Bad Bunny

Benito Martínez Ocasio, better known by his stage name Bad Bunny, has been exploding in the music world lately. He started his career on SoundCloud while working in a grocery store in his home of Puerto Rico. Since then, he's collaborated with a number of different artists, including Drake, Prince Royce, Diplo, Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, and Will Smith.

He released his debut album 100xpre (Forever) in 2018. He also released a collab album with J Balvin, Oasis, in 2019. His music videos have frequently featured WWE stars such as Ric Flair and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. Since 2017, he has been nominated for numerous awards, including Telemundo's "Humanitarian Award of the Year. He has won several Latin Grammy's and was nominated for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards. He has performed at several music festivals, including Coachella.

Bad Bunny is also known for pushing the boundaries of the gender binary. He often wears nail polish. He's also spoken out against other musicians, criticizing a tweet by reggatanero Don Omar that was widely considered to be homophobic. Bad Bunny responded by tweeting "Homophobia, in this day and age? How embarrassing, loco."


J Balvin

José Osorio Balvín, aka J Balvín, is a Colombia reggaeton singer. He's been in the game for a bit longer than Bad Bunny has, and was the first Latino artist to be a Lolapalooza headliner. He's collaborated with several artists as well, including Cardi B, Pitbull, Beyoncé, and Pharrell Williams.

J Balvin has released a number of albums, with his latest one Colores, coming out in 2020. Like Bad Bunny, he has won multiple awards, including Favorite Latin Artist in 2019 at the American Music Awards. He is open about suffering from anxiety and is known for his eccentric and colorful style.

I highly recommend checking out these two amazing singers. I was honestly so surprised to see them come out on stage. Music is universal and I've never been one to think you have to understand the language to enjoy a song. I'm personally so proud of these two musicians for making it out there onto the Super Bowl stage, which is not something that every artist can say they've done.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
