It's official – Bad Bunny transformed the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show into a love-infused dance fiesta on Sunday night with his electrifying performance! The Puerto Rican superstar, fresh off his Grammy wins, made the world feel the heat with a set that radiated love and unity.
Kicking off in a sleek all-white ensemble and a football in hand, Bad Bunny opened with his hit "Tití Me Preguntó." The global stage got a taste of Puerto Rican culture with a performance backdrop inspired by his hometown community, instantly capturing hearts worldwide.
The halftime spectacle wasn't just about music; it was a love story unfolding on stage. From a couple's engagement to their wedding celebration, the narrative was as captivating as the music. Famous faces joined the party, including Alix Earle, Jessica Alba, Cardi B, Karol G, Pedro Pascal, and Young Miko.
Bad Bunny brought his iconic "La Casita" to the Levi's Stadium field, turning it into a celebrity-studded house party. Then, in a jaw-dropping surprise, Lady Gaga swooped in for a Latin twist on her and Bruno Mars' "Die With a Smile," doubling the energy as she joined Bad Bunny in a dance.
In a touching moment, Bad Bunny handed a young child his Grammy, while Ricky Martin later took the stage, adding extra flair with "LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii." As Bad Bunny wrapped up, he hoisted the Puerto Rican flag, then flags from around the globe, declaring, "The only thing more powerful than hate is love."
With "Together we are American" emblazoned on a football, he ended the show with "DtMF," capping off a record-breaking performance anticipated to be among the most-watched in history.
Ahead of the big night, Bad Bunny, aka Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, shared insights from an intimate interview, revealing that his Grammy-winning album "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" unexpectedly led him to this monumental stage. "I wasn't looking to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show," he confessed. "I just wanted to connect with my history and culture."
Despite some backlash from critics and alternative events by groups like Turning Point USA, Bad Bunny's performance resonated globally, spotlighting his immense stardom. Though currently avoiding U.S. tour dates over ICE raid concerns, his message at the Grammys was clear: "We are humans and we are Americans."
The 2026 Super Bowl also featured Green Day in a pre-game performance, Charlie Puth with the National Anthem, Brandi Carlile singing "America the Beautiful," and Coco Jones with "Lift Every Voice and Sing." The showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots inside Levi's Stadium crowned a thrilling night, with stars aplenty in the audience.
