The Goddess of Pop Embraces Reggaeton: Cher Starts Learning Spanish to Back Bad Bunny’s Historic Super Bowl
In a move that proves her status as the ultimate cultural shapeshifter, the legendary Cher has thrown her considerable star power behind Bad Bunny’s upcoming, historic Super Bowl Halftime Show, even embracing a new challenge: learning Spanish.
The 79-year-old Goddess of Pop recently made headlines after announcing her support for the Puerto Rican superstar, who is set to headline the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show—a performance expected to be the first in the event’s history to be delivered entirely in Spanish.
While Bad Bunny has faced some predictable backlash for his decision to prioritize Spanish-language music on one of America’s biggest stages, he famously challenged critics to “learn Spanish in four months.” Cher, however, is meeting the challenge with excitement, not resistance.
A “Fearless Comeback” and a New Language
Cher, who is known for reinventing herself across seven decades, announced that Bad Bunny’s bold move has inspired her to embrace something new. Taking to social media, the icon stated that she has started taking Spanish lessons to better appreciate the upcoming show, which she called a “fearless comeback” for global music.
“Bad Bunny is doing something huge, not just for music, but for culture. It’s inspiring,” Cher reportedly wrote. “If he can bring the world to Spanish, I can bring myself to Spanish. Starting my lessons today. This is the energy of a true comeback.”
Uniting Generations and Cultures
The collaboration—or at least the mutual support—between the two artists is a powerful symbol of generational and cultural convergence. Bad Bunny, who previously joined Jennifer Lopez and Shakira on the Super Bowl stage in 2020, is an unstoppable force in the streaming era, while Cher remains one of the most recognizable figures in entertainment history.
Cher’s embrace of Bad Bunny’s Spanish-language moment underscores a major shift in the music industry, where Latin and non-English hits are increasingly dominating global charts and major cultural events. Her public commitment to learning the language serves as a direct, cheerful counterpoint to the cultural pushback, turning a moment of controversy into one of solidarity.
Whether Cher will make a surprise appearance alongside Bad Bunny is the newest, hottest speculation surrounding the Halftime Show, but for now, the sight of a septuagenarian pop icon diligently working on her Spanish homework is a powerful testament to the show’s unifying impact.
