Bad Bunny headlined the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium, featuring special guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin in a performance celebrating love and Latinx culture. The set, delivered almost entirely in Spanish, included a real wedding, diverse performers, and messages of unity. It capped a triumphant week for Bad Bunny after his Grammy win for Album of the Year.
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime performance on February 8, 2026, transformed Levi’s Stadium into a vibrant celebration of Puerto Rican and Latinx heritage. The Puerto Rican superstar, fresh off winning Album of the Year for 'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' at the Grammys on February 1, invited a roster of notable guests, including Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Karol G, Young Miko, and Cardi B.
The show opened with dynamic elements like dancers and performers disguised as trees, culminating in a choreographed real wedding onstage. Following the vows, Lady Gaga emerged in a bright-blue dress to perform a salsa version of her hit 'Die With a Smile' alongside Bad Bunny, sharing a brief dance. Gaga later expressed her gratitude on Instagram: “It was my absolute honor to be a part of Benito’s halftime show. Thank you Benito for inviting me and thank you to the entire cast for welcoming me onto your stage. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.” Ricky Martin joined for 'Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii,' and backstage, he posted: “They have to give me several hours to let me understand the tsunami of emotions I am feeling.”
The performance highlighted various Latin genres, including bomba, plena, salsa, hip-hop, and reggaeton, as noted by fellow artist Rauw Alejandro. It concluded with Bad Bunny's rendition of 'DtMF,' mourning missed opportunities for love, followed by his Grammy acceptance speech quote displayed on a massive screen: “The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.” Performers waved flags from dozens of countries as they exited, emphasizing global unity.
Reactions poured in from across the music world. Doechii exclaimed on X: “Bad Bunny WOW! Fucking, WOW. History.” Kacey Musgraves contrasted it favorably with a competing conservative event, writing: “Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done.” John Mellencamp added: “I don’t know what Bad Bunny is saying, however, I do know he is standing up for Puerto Rico and I am standing up for him. His half time show was great.” The show marked Bad Bunny's evolution from guest performer in 2020 with Shakira and Jennifer Lopez to headliner, solidifying his cultural impact.
