At the Grammy Awards tonight, the Puerto Rican pop sensation Bad
Bunny is the first Spanish-language artist to be nominated for
album, record and song of the year simultaneously. For most
artists, this would be the high point of their year, if not their
career. For Bad Bunny, this is just an appetizer for what’s in
store for him next week.

Next Sunday, he will headline the Super Bowl halftime show. His
performance comes in the middle of a nationwide crackdown on
immigration — an issue he’s been vocal about — and follows a
backlash against the N.F.L. for booking him in the first place.

Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, the hosts of The Times’s pop
music show “Popcast,” discuss Bad Bunny’s rise to the heights of
pop stardom, and explore what it means for a Puerto Rican artist
to headline the world’s biggest stage.

On Today’s Episode:

Jon Caramanica is a pop music critic at The New
York Times and a co-host of “Popcast.”

Joe Coscarelli is a culture reporter for The New
York Times who focuses on popular music and a co-host of
“Popcast.”
