The reggaeton star brought out Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, and more for a joyous set that paid homage to Puerto Rico and his desire to unite people around the globe. Watch clips from the show below or on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Bad Bunny first took the field in a literal sense, rapping the <em>Un Verano Sin Ti<\/em> single \u201cTit\u00ed Me Pregunt\u00f3\u201d inside a sugar cane farm while people in pava hats harvested the crop. Clutching a football to his chest and wearing an all-white outfit\u2014including a football jersey emblazoned with the number 64 and his mother\u2019s last name, Ocasio, on the back\u2014Bad Bunny walked through the field, passing people going about their daily lives: men playing dominos, women painting their nails, two athletes boxing, and stands selling coconut water, tacos, and piraguas.<\/p>\n<p>Singing <em>YHLQMDLG<\/em>\u2019s \u201cYo Perreo Sola,\u201d Bad Bunny then emerged in front of a traditional pink house\u2014a staple of his shows, it\u2019s affectionately labeled La Casita\u2014while dozens of dancers performed a synchronized routine on its front yard. Cardi B, Karol G, Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, Young Miko, and more hung out on the building\u2019s porch as Bad Bunny scaled its roof, occasionally rapping to a top-down camera hanging above him before sneaking in a bit of \u201cVoy a Llevarte Pa\u2019 PR.\u201d After crashing through the house\u2019s roof and landing in a family\u2019s living room, Bad Bunny exited to a brief sample of Daddy Yankee\u2019s classic \u201cGasolina\u201d before launching into his own Grammy-winning single \u201cEoO.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody, believe in yourselves!\u201d Bad Bunny called out in Spanish. Costa Rican conductor Giancarlo Guerrero\u2014sporting a brown suit adorned with a sequined flor de maga, the national flower of Puerto Rico\u2014led over a dozen string players in a romantic rendition of \u201cMonaco\u201d while a couple got married (for real!) on a courtyard. Dancers then stepped back to reveal Lady Gaga in a blue dress as she launched into a salsa take on her Bruno Mars duet \u201cDie With a Smile\u201d with Bad Bunny\u2019s backing band Los Pleneros de la Cresta. While wedding guests danced in circles and the happy couple sliced into an enormous tiered cake, Benito sang \u201cBaile Inolvidable\u201d then took Gaga in his arms and salsa danced with the pop star.<\/p>\n<div class=\"GenericCalloutWrapper-IJXIe kMiJXn\" data-testid=\"GenericCallout\">\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-fkZDUs kHRAYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eEeytc eRSvCP asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-zEXFr koTknX responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cIfZLr fHIkTW asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Lady Gaga Scot Mendelson Bad Bunny Head Person Face Happy Adult Accessories Glasses and Laughing\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eNxvmU cfBbTk responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.pitchfork.com\/photos\/69893dc40b7f1890fb5ef884\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/GettyImages-2260606547.jpg\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jYrTxZ lffKHz caption AssetEmbedCaption-fyuOdR jpkaNC asset-embed__caption\" data-testid=\"caption-wrapper\"><span class=\"BaseText-eqOrNE CaptionText-brNLzD goKsGy fGraOh caption__text caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseText-eqOrNE CaptionCredit-eowWKH cvQdCw gxwcqg caption__credit caption__credit\">Kevin C.

Off to the side, a family watched Bad Bunny\u2019s viral Grammy Award acceptance speech on a small, old-school TV set before the star himself approached them, handing the young boy his actual trophy.<\/p>\n<p>The camera then panned to a musician playing the Puerto Rican cuatro as Ricky Martin popped up to sing \u201cLo Que Paso a Hawaii\u201d\u2014a song in which Bad Bunny considers the gringo-ification of Puerto Rico gaining U.S. statehood, akin to Hawaii\u2019s experiences. Riding that high, Bad Bunny picked up a Puerto Rican flag and bust out \u201cEl Apag\u00f3n,\u201d his <em>Un Verano Sin Ti<\/em> song, while three dancers twirled from power lines in pavas. Soon Benito joined them up there, scaling one of the utility poles\u2014a reference to Puerto Rico\u2019s ongoing power grid struggles, a years-long reality the star documented in a short film.<\/p>\n<p>When the jubilant beat of \u201cCafe con Ron\u201d kicked in, Bad Bunny took off across his maze of a stage setup while all of the performers followed behind him playing instruments, waving Latin American flags, and jumping around. \u201cGod bless America,\u201d he yelled, staring at the football in his hands. Bad Bunny then turned to the camera and, as if clarifying what that statement truly meant, proceeded to name every country in North and South America. Behind him, the football stadium\u2019s billboard displayed giant letters: \u201cThe only thing more powerful than hate is love.\u201d He lifted up the football, emblazoned with the words \u201cTogether we are America,\u201d and spiked it into the ground. At last, Bad Bunny allowed himself to experience the joy of it all, ripping out his in-ear monitors to sing \u201cDtMF\u201d while pogoing in the air and hugging his friends.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, this wasn\u2019t the first time Bad Bunny performed at a Super Bowl halftime show. Back in 2020, he sang \u201cI Like It\u201d and \u201cChantaje\u201d with Shakira, who co-headlined that year alongside Jennifer Lopez in Miami.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the evening, Green Day performed a medley of <em>American Idiot<\/em> songs during the pregame Super Bowl LX segment. Afterward, Charlie Puth sang \u201cThe Star-Spangled Banner\u201d while also playing keys, Brandi Carlile performed \u201cAmerica the Beautiful\u201d with acoustic guitar, and Coco Jones sang \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The halftime show marked Bad Bunny\u2019s only stateside performance for the foreseeable future. His Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos World Tour, which kicked off last November and runs through May, includes no stops in the U.S. or Canada. In an interview with <em>i-D<\/em>, he explained, \u201cthere was the issue of\u2014like, fucking ICE could be outside [my concert].\u201d After Bad Bunny was announced as this year\u2019s halftime show performer, Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump\u2019s former campaign manager, said during a podcast appearance \u201cICE will have enforcement at the Super Bowl.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"GridWrapper-cFSKbf cxzKYj grid grid-margins grid-items-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hkPQhP lnoYVP grid-layout--adrail narrow wide-adrail\" data-journey-hook=\"grid-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"GridItem-beYvyV kCPYUp grid--item grid-layout__content\">\n<div class=\"BodyWrapper-kzyFNv bpYdXB body body__container article__body\" data-journey-hook=\"client-content\" data-testid=\"BodyWrapper\">\n<div class=\"body__inner-container\">\n<p>Last weekend, at the 2026 Grammy Awards, Bad Bunny took home the evening\u2019s top honor of Album of the Year, as well as Best M\u00fasica Urbana Album, for <em>Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em>.
