Amid Bad Bunny’s stunning Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, it appeared that users on X were having some trouble with the site.

According to Down Detector (owned by Mashable’s parent company, Ziff Davis), there was a noticeable spike in user-reported issues with the Elon Musk–owned platform’s search function and notifications. The latter has reportedly been a problem for a few days now, but the timing of the surge in reports also coincided with Bad Bunny’s performance.

Now, are we saying that Bad Bunny caused this? No — but users on X certainly are.

The timing also felt especially ironic given X’s increasingly right-wing user base, many of whom had already spent the past several months criticizing Bad Bunny’s selection as the halftime headliner and were actively promoting an alternative, explicitly conservative “halftime show” airing elsewhere.
