"It was such an honor to experience such a special and powerful performance," she wrote over a picture of the ending billboard from the halftime show, which read "The Only Thing More Powerful Than Hate is Love."
In the comments of one TikTok video, which showed Earle dancing with fellow performers, she also addressed one fan who questioned her appearance.
"You’ve never once used your platform and voice for the messages bad bunny sends. This is unbelievable and undeserved," the user wrote.
Earle responded, writing in the comments, "I have 💗 and being invited to do this was such an incredible experience and so special."
