Bad Bunny and us

What we witnessed at the Super Bowl was less a performance than an invitation.

There was a moment, seemingly small, at the end of this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show that took my breath away. As the song "DtMF" concluded, Puertorriqueño singer/rapper Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (known globally as Bad Bunny) turned to his collaborators, ripped his microphone off, and continued to dance and sing all the way off the football field. The cameras cut away, but videos shared on social media showed singers, dancers, and musicians spilling out into the streets, filling the air with celebration as they sang:

Debí tirar más fotos de cuando te tuve
Debí darte más besos y abrazos las veces que pude
Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden

I should've taken more pictures when I had you
I should've given you more kisses and hugs whenever I could
I hope my people never move away
