Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX Show Features
Bad Bunny Super Bowl LX halftime show 2026 guests
Bad Bunny made history on Sunday, February 8, 2026, delivering the first-ever mostly Spanish-language halftime show at Super Bowl LX. The 13-minute performance at Levi’s Stadium was a vibrant celebration of Puerto Rican culture, transforming the gridiron into a tropical vecindad complete with palm trees, sugar cane fields, and a domino-playing “viejito” setup. The show reached its emotional peak when the global superstar presided over a real-life wedding ceremony on stage. According to team sources, the couple had initially invited Bad Bunny to their upcoming wedding; in a stunning turn of events, the singer invited them to exchange their vows live during the broadcast, which was officiated by an ordained minister before an audience of over 120 million viewers.
The “wedding party” atmosphere was amplified by a surprise appearance from Lady Gaga, who emerged in a dress adorned with the maga (Puerto Rico’s national flower). Gaga performed a salsa-infused rendition of her hit “Die With a Smile,” backed by a full big band. The collaboration marked Gaga’s second appearance on the Super Bowl stage and was hailed by critics as the most musically sophisticated moment of the night. Following the ceremony, Bad Bunny underwent a quick fashion change into a classic white salsero suit to perform “Baile Inolvidable” and “NuevaYol,” further solidifying the celebratory “block party” theme that defined the latter half of his set.
The guest list extended far beyond the music industry, with an array of A-list celebrities serving as “background dancers” and party guests. Fans were quick to spot Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, Cardi B, and Karol G dancing under a set piece depicting a local market. Fellow Puerto Rican icon Ricky Martin also made a triumphant return to the Super Bowl stage, joining Bad Bunny for a duet of “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii.” Martin’s appearance was a symbolic passing of the torch, as the “King of Latin Pop” stood alongside the modern-day “King of Reggaeton” to champion Puerto Rican autonomy and cultural pride.
Despite the joy on stage, the performance was not without its political undertones. Bad Bunny utilized a segment of the show to highlight Puerto Rico’s history of power outages during the song “El Apagón,” with dancers twirling around prop power lines. The show concluded on a defiant and optimistic note, as the stadium screens displayed the message: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” While the performance faced pre-game criticism from figures like President Trump, the overwhelming response from viewers and critics alike described the show as a “Disney Jungle Cruise of culture”—a vibrant, necessary, and historic milestone for Latin representation in American sports.
