“The culture war is over,” declared TheNew York Times shortly before our latest print issue went to press. “Bad Bunny won.” That may sound like hyperbole, but the Rimas supernova’s AOTY win and other huge Grammy looks, followed by an infinitely bigger Super Bowl appearance, prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the haters who dismissed him seriously misread the room. Bunny got a gigundo streaming boost after the Grammys without performing; now that the massive Super Bowl audience has seen him do his thing, he's redefining what "moving the needle" means. How big, in Bunny's case, is big? P.S. ICE out.
