Following Bad Bunny's historic performance at Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, Panamanian singer-songwriter Erika Ender published a reflection where she prioritized the cultural impact of the event over her personal musical tastes. Ender stated that 'today the message weighs more than personal taste' and that it is not necessary to be a fan of the artist to recognize the historic moment experienced by the Latino community. She also openly admitted: 'I have never been a fan of Bad Bunny,' clarifying that she says this with respect and honesty. She celebrated that the show was entirely in Spanish with a clear identity, pointing out that it represents the opening of a 'gate' for millions of Latinos who previously only had secondary or caricature roles in American culture. Likewise, she highlighted that, beyond judging styles or voices, what matters is the impact and awareness that moves through these platforms. This statement came just days after she also praised Bad Bunny's triumph at the Grammy 2026, where his album 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' won Album of the Year.
