Bad Bunny eert zijn Puerto Rico tijdens Super Bowl, volgens Trump “een van slechtste shows ooit”

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance

Eerste Spaanstalige artiest

Bad Bunny was de hoofdact van de Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show op 8 februari 2026 in het Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Californië. De Puerto Ricaanse superster schreef geschiedenis als de eerste Spaanstalige solo-artiest die de prestigieuze show leidde.

Politieke Liefdesverklaring aan Puerto Rico

Het decor was vooral een cultureel eerbetoon aan Puerto Rico, barbershop een traditionele casita (huisje), suikerrietvelden en een LUMA-electriciteitmast.

Hoewel het publiek stevige politieke statements over het beleid van Trump had verwacht, en misschien ook gehoopt zoals Bad Bunny ook stevige woorden over ICE had tijdens de Grammy uitreiking, gingen zijn songs vooral over eenheid met elkaar.

Toch gaf het decor verwijzingen naar Trumps politiek racistisch beleid, zoals de elektriciteitsmast. Toen in 2017 orkaan Maria Puerto Rico teisterde en 3000 levens eiste, bleef federale hulp lang uit zodat de mensen daar vrij lang zonder stroom zaten of andere infrastructuur. Ook was de financiële hulp schaars en veel minder dan op het vaste land.

Wervelend Optreden

Bad Bunny werd op het podium vergezeld door grote sterren, waaronder Lady Gaga (die een salsa-versie van “Die With a Smile” zong), Ricky Martin, Cardi B, Karol G en Pedro Pascal.

Het publiek vond het allemaal geweldig, en de sfeer was grandioos.

Er was zelfs een live huwelijk tijdens het optreden. Het koppel was door Bad Bunny persoonlijk uitgenodigd.

Trump was er zelf niet bij maar schreeuwde op Truth Social dat het optreden een belediging was voor Amerika. Het juichende publiek dacht er duidelijk anders over.

LGBT+ Vriend

Bad Bunny gebruikt zijn platform om homofobie en transfobie aan de kaak te stellen, slachtoffers van haatmisdrijven te eren en openlijk de rechten van de LGBTQ+-gemeenschap te steunen. Zijn acties hebben hem tot een van de meest zichtbare bondgenoten in de wereldwijde pop- en Latijns-Amerikaanse muziekwereld gemaakt.

Muchas gracias por su apoyo, Bunny

Michael Carrick talks to TNT Sports. “The league table is irrelevant … [West Ham] has always been a tough place to come … they have good attacking players … we have to be ready … we have got to be good to win the game … we want to be a team … to play together and have good connections … we want individuals to express themselves … we have managed to get a good balance.”

Here’s how the Premier League table looks before this match. Manchester United can overtake Aston Villa with a win; they’d be third or fourth depending on the result of Chelsea-Leeds. Meanwhile at the bottom West Ham have the chance to close the gap on Nottingham Forest, one way or another. They’d need an unlikely four-goal win tonight if they’re to overtake Sean Dyche’s strugglers.

Arsenal and Manchester United face familiar opponents in a revamped competition that has so far proven more competitive

The next phase of the new Women’s Champions League format gets under way on Wednesday and Thursday, when the four playoff first legs take place. Arsenal and Manchester United are among eight teams vying to join Barcelona, Lyon, Chelsea and Bayern Munich, who automatically qualified for the quarter-finals as the top four in the league phase.

As in the men’s competition, a switch from a group stage to the league format has been made. However, with the UWCL group stage having been introduced only for the 2021-22 season, there was scepticism about a change coming so soon, with the group stage viewed as a big step forward and in its relative infancy.

Tehran’s intervention comes as the Israeli prime minister heads to a hastily arranged White House encounter

Tehran has told the US not to allow Israel to destroy the chance of reaching an agreement over Iran’s nuclear programme amid speculation that Benjamin Netanyahu intends to use a hastily arranged White House meeting with Donald Trump on Wednesday to divert negotiations.

Iran’s intervention came as the Israeli prime minister flew to Washington to plead with Trump not to negotiate a deal with Tehran if it excludes limiting the country’s ballistic missile programme, dropping its support for proxy forces in the region and curtailing human rights abuses at home.

The expression “wherever you go, there you are” is often wielded to describe futile attempts to escape hangups, anxieties, and a variety of unwanted emotions. Although this truism is typically offered as a negative, it can also be read as a positive that provides comfort and stability amid new environments.

In I Bring Home with Me, Ghanaian artist Amoako Boafo recreates his Accra studio in an architectural reproduction within Roberts Projects’ Los Angeles gallery. Boafo is known for his stylized portraiture of Black people, whose skin the artist renders in swirling gestures made with his fingers. This exhibition presents a collection of paintings embedded within the life-sized replica, created in collaboration with architect and designer Glenn DeRoche.

According to a statement from the gallery, Boafo wanted to reflect both the “images, sounds, people, stories, and events that shape his sense of place” and how community gatherings in his studio are essential to his process. While some portraits depict imagined subjects, many portray friends, family, and public figures.

Monstera wallpaper, porous wall dividers, and floral seat covers add color and texture to the largely black, wooden structure and echo Boafo’s use of paper transfers, embroidered details, and thick impasto. Paired with his portraiture, these architectural details guide viewers through the space and capture how presence and memories shape our inner and outer environments.

I Bring Home with Me is on view through March 21. Find more on the artist’s Instagram.

Microsoft has begun automatically replacing the original Secure Boot security certificates on Windows devices through regular monthly updates, a necessary move given that the 15-year-old certificates first issued in 2011 are set to expire between late June and October 2026.

Secure Boot, which verifies that only trusted and digitally signed software runs before Windows loads, became a hardware requirement for Windows 11. A new batch of certificates was issued in 2023 and already ships on most PCs built since 2024; nearly all devices shipped in 2025 include them by default. Older hardware is now receiving the updated certificates through Windows Update, starting last month's KB5074109 release for Windows 11. Devices that don't receive the new certificates before expiration will still function but enter what Microsoft calls a "degraded security state," unable to receive future boot-level protections and potentially facing compatibility issues down the line.

Windows 10 users must enroll in Microsoft's paid Extended Security Updates program to get the new certificates. A small number of devices may also need a separate firmware update from their manufacturer before the Windows-delivered certificates can be applied.
