Bad Bunny had millions tuning into his Halftime show.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime show was a rousing success. The Puerto Rican singer’s Apple Music Halftime show proved a big hit with the fans. Months before we reached February 8, 2026, the backlash was intense, leading many to think his selection was a bad idea.

Never in history has an alternative Halftime show been created just to rival the Super Bowl. Bunny told fans to learn Spanish to listen to his show, and the outrage only grew. Then came the day of the Super Bowl.

Despite the entire thing being in Spanish, his Super Bowl halftime show proved that controversy cannot dampen fan enthusiasm. The Puerto Rican superstar’s Apple Music performance on NBC ranked fourth among the most-watched halftime shows in history.

Super Bowl 2026 viewership fell short of reaching last year’s record-setting numbers with Kendrick Lamar. However, it still crushed it.

He drew 128.2 million viewers and set multiple records despite criticism from President Trump and conservative figures. Bunny trails Kendrick Lamar’s 133.5 million average viewers from last year. The halftime show generated more than 4 billion social views in its first 24 hours. That made it the most-consumed halftime show of all time on NFL social platforms.
This year’s big game became the most-watched show in NBC’s history, with 137.8 million viewers in the second quarter, per NBC. It was the most-watched show in the history of NBCUniversal.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
