Caitlin Clark arrived in Puerto Rico this week for the FIBA Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament with USA Basketball, where she shared her appreciation for Puerto Rican culture while revealing one celebrity she wishes she could see during the trip — Super Bowl headliner Bad Bunny.
Clark told reporters she wishes Bad Bunny would perform during Team USA's time in Puerto Rico, after the 32-year-old pop sensation headlined the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show last month.
"I'm super excited. It's my first time in Puerto Rico. It's truly beautiful," Clark told El Nuevo Dia. "I wish Bad Bunny was at the game, I wish he were performing. I checked to see if he was going to be singing while we're here, but he's not. Maybe they should bring him."
Clark previously showed her appreciation for Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance by liking an ESPN Instagram post featuring screenshots of celebrities appearing in the show. The post included Lady Gaga, Jessica Alba, Ricky Martin, and Cardi B, among others.
The halftime performance sparked controversy because most of the music was in Spanish, with some questioning the decision while others praised the outspoken celebration of Puerto Rican culture.
Bad Bunny focused his nearly 15-minute performance on highlighting the island's identity, choreographing a life-sized block party honoring his home country.
Team USA opens FIBA World Cup Qualifying play in Puerto Rico this week, with Bad Bunny fan Clark expected to make her senior team debut on Wednesday against Senegal.
