Just days after making history at the 2026 Grammy Awards — becoming the first artist ever to win Album of the Year with an all-Spanish-language LP, Debí Tirar Más Fotos — Bad Bunny delivered another culture-shifting moment on the biggest stage in the world.
On Monday morning, the Puerto Rican superstar ignited Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., headlining a Super Bowl Halftime Show that instantly cemented itself as one for the history books.
Fresh off his momentous Grammys win, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio stepped onto the field with the confidence of an artist at the absolute peak of his powers. Dressed in an off-white football jersey emblazoned with “Ocasio” and the number ’64, Bad Bunny kicked off his electrifying set with the unmistakable opening notes of “Tití Me Preguntó.”
Backed by a pulsating live band and a sea of dancers, Bad Bunny transformed the NFL’s biggest night into a full-blown Latin celebration: unapologetic, vibrant and deeply personal.
Rather than lean into spectacle alone, Bad Bunny built his set around imagery rooted in everyday Latin life. The field became a moving mural of cultural pride: farm workers under golden light, abuelos playing dominoes at folding tables, women laughing while getting their nails done, snow-cone vendors crafting colorful piraguas and boxers training beneath a single dramatic spotlight.
Throughout the set, Bad Bunny moved seamlessly through hits, blending reggaetón, trap, bomba and salsa rhythms with arena-ready production. Fireworks burst overhead as dancers flooded the stage in choreographed chaos, matching the high-octane energy that has made him one of the most dominant live performers of his generation.
As if the night needed more star power, Bad Bunny brought out a string of high-profile cameos. Karol G, Jessica Alba and Cardi B each made appearances, amplifying the electric atmosphere inside the stadium.But the biggest curveball came midway through the performance.
In a moment few saw coming, Lady Gaga emerged in a baby blue dress, delivering a soaring rendition of “Die With A Smile”, reimagined over a vibrant salsa rhythm that blended seamlessly into Bad Bunny’s sonic universe. The unexpected collaboration brought together two of pop’s most fearless boundary-pushers for a crossover moment that felt both surprising and strangely inevitable.
Later, Ricky Martin appeared to perform “Lo Que Pasó en Hawaii,” sending the crowd into another frenzy and reinforcing the generational impact of Latin artists commanding the global stage.
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show wasn’t just a career milestone, it was a cultural reset. Following a Grammys night that already placed him in the record books, his Super Bowl performance felt like the exclamation point on a historic week.
