During the Super Bowl halftime show, Bad Bunny carried a flag that is not the official Puerto Rican flag but a light blue variant associated with revolutionary movements. This version of the flag, reflecting a 19th-century design influenced by Cuban protests, was banned in 1948 to suppress dissent against the U.S. government in Puerto Rico. The official flag was altered afterward to a darker hue resembling the American flag, symbolizing U.S. dominance over the territory.

In his song "La Mudanza," Bad Bunny expresses a desire to be buried with this light blue flag, embodying the sacrifices made by many for its ideals. The flag's significance extends beyond aesthetic; it represents a protest against historical injustices and embodies the struggles faced by Puerto Ricans and Latinos in a broader context. Bad Bunny's choice to feature this flag during such a high-profile event amplifies its message on a global stage.

The performance stands as a potent symbol of Latinx culture and dissent against U.S. policies, particularly recent anti-immigration actions and the operations of the ICE, which have targeted immigrant communities. Through this artistic expression, Bad Bunny not only celebrates his roots but also sheds light on the ongoing challenges regarding identity, sovereignty, and human rights related to Puerto Rico's status as a U.S. territory.
