In just 13 minutes, Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny was able to redefine what it means to be an American.

Even before the performance, Bad Bunny’s trailer made it clear what his message was. The trailer showed him dancing with several different people, all with different backgrounds, but one commonality was clear. They were all Americans.

For months, Bad Bunny has been getting critiqued for his political messages regarding ICE at the Grammys, even facing backlash from President Trump, calling him anti-American for his halftime performance.

However, Bad Bunny’s performance defined one thing: What does it mean to be American?

The performance began with the history of Puerto Rico, sugar cane fields that sustained it, highlighting its agricultural character. Not only that, but he also introduced himself by his full name, Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, creating an introduction to who he is and where it began.

Soon after, all white outfits lined up the fields, commonly known as jíbaros. All of these things compile into a celebration of where Bad Bunny is from and how Puerto Rico is American history.

Walking across the fields, images of coco frio, grandparents playing domino, girls getting their nails done, piraguas, taco stands and even boxing showed a true sense of authenticity.

After continuing in his reflections on his culture, dedicating moments to how he was raised, a homage to who he is and how that will not change.

Not only that, but putting up concho, a cartoon that has become synonymous with Bad Bunny and his successes, only added more to his performance.

While singing ‘NUEVAYoL,’ Bad Bunny turns to a woman, Toñita, who has dedicated her life to fighting against gentrification in New York City, according to CNT.

All of this to say, Bad Bunny’s performance dedicated itself to being political while remaining reflective for Latinos. The performance wasn’t just a call out to politics, but a reminder that Latinos are still here and will always be.

Bad Bunny brought out Ricky Martin, a Puerto Rican musician, who sang the exact message Puerto Rico continuously stands on today: the goal of freedom and independence.

Bad Bunny then climbed up sparking poles, in reference to Hurricane Maria and the effects it had on his homeland. This wasn’t just political, it was showing that they are still impacted by this to this day, according to the Associated Press.

Soon after Bad Bunny sings several of his hit songs, he then turns to the camera to say, “God Bless America,” the only time he speaks in English during the show.

Bad Bunny defines being American as a list of countries he displays with dancers holding their flags. Being American is more than just the US, it is every nation from South America to North America.

The main message that was hammered home proved what it meant to be American. It isn’t just the U.S., but all of these countries, “Together we are America.”

Bad Bunny finishes off the performance with a clear message, “seguimos aquí,” or “we continue here.” After an entire performance dedicated to Latin culture, Bad Bunny makes it clear he is not going anywhere, and neither are Americans.

Bad Bunny’s viewership of over 135 million people, according to azcentral, made it clear his message was heard. He came out to perform and dedicate his message to the world that there isn’t one way to be American.

Throughout the entire performance, Bad Bunny emphasized that he is the definition of what it means to be an American.
