Melania Trump has sparked conversation online after using a Bad Bunny song in an Instagram post, just two weeks after her husband, Donald Trump’s outburst against the star’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performance.
The former First Lady shared a gallery of images featuring the dress she wore to her husband’s second inauguration, which was being added as an exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. In her caption, she wrote, “This black and white masterpiece showcases America’s pure spirit of originality, superior engineering, and boundless creativity.”
But attention quickly turned to her choice of soundtrack: Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos. The decision raised eyebrows given the President’s very vocal opposition to the Puerto Rican Grammy winner.
Fans react to the unexpected choice
Comments on the post highlighted the contrast between Melania’s selection and Donald Trump’s disapproval of the artist. “I think ur husband doesn’t like his songs,” one user wrote.
Another added, “The audacity to use this song.”
Some fans speculated Melania’s choice could be a playful dig at her husband. “melania what’s your game here,” one wrote
The President was heavily critical of the NFL’s decision to choose Bad Bunny as its 2026 halftime entertainment, turning his selection into a cultural war issue.
Immediately after the halftime show, Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.”
Bad Bunny a hit at the Super Bowl despite Trump’s protests
Trump’s allies even attempted to counter Bad Bunny’s performance by organizing an alternative halftime show through TurningPoint USA, headlined by Kid Rock. However, that broadcast drew just 6.1 million viewers, compared to around 130 million who watched Bad Bunny, making his performance one of the most watched halftime shows in Super Bowl history.
Bad Bunny’s show – which featured notable cameos from the likes of Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Pedro Pascal and Jessica Alba – was performed entirely in Spanish and was widely praised as a spectale celebrating Latin American culture.
Melania’s use of the song underscores the divide between public opinion and the former President’s personal critique.
