Bad Bunny performed the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show tonight, February 8, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. 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 the show below and on YouTube.
Bad Bunny took the field in a literal sense, beginning his set singing the Un Verano Sin Ti single “Tití Me Preguntó” inside a sugar cane farm while people in pava hats harvested the crop. Clutching a football to his chest while wearing an all-white outfit—including a football-style top, emblazoned with the number 64 and his mother’s last name, Ocasio, on the back—Bad Bunny walked through the field, passing assorted people going about their daily lives: men playing dominos, women painting their nails, two men boxing, a jewelry counter, and stands selling coconut water, tacos, and piraguas.
Singing YHLQMDLG’s “Yo Perreo Sola,” Bad Bunny emerged in front of a traditional pink house—a staple of his shows, it’s affectionately labeled La Casita—while 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’s porch while Bad Bunny scaled its roof, occasionally rapping to a top-down camera hanging above him before sneaking in a bit of “Voy a Llevarte Pa’ PR.” After crashing through the house’s roof and landing in a family’s living room, Bad Bunny exited to a brief sample of Daddy Yankee’s classic “Gasolina” before launching into his own Grammy-winning single “EoO” while standing atop a white pickup truck.
“Everybody, believe in yourselves!” Bad Bunny called out in Spanish. Costa Rican conductor Giancarlo Guerrero, sporting a brown suit adorned with a sequined flor de maga, the national flower of Puerto Rico, led over a dozen string players in a romantic rendition of “Monaco” while a couple got married on an outdoor courtyard. Dancers stepped back to reveal Lady Gaga in a blue dress as she launched into a salsa version of her Bruno Mars duet “Die With a Smile” with Bad Bunny’s backing band Los Pleneros de la Cresta. While wedding guests danced in circles and the happy couple sliced into an enormous tiered cake, Bad Bunny sang “Baile Inolvidable,” took the pop star in his arms, and the two salsa danced together, grinning ear to ear.
Technically, this wasn’t the first time Bad Bunny performed at a Super Bowl halftime show. Back in 2020, he sang “I Like It” and “Chantaje” with Shakira, who co-headlined that year alongside Jennifer Lopez in Miami.
Earlier in the evening, Green Day performed a medley of American Idiot songs during the pregame Super Bowl LX segment. Afterward, Charlie Puth sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” while also playing keys, Brandi Carlile performed “America the Beautiful” with acoustic guitar, and Coco Jones sang “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
The halftime show marks Bad Bunny’s only stateside performance for the forseeable future. His Debí Tirar Más 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 i-D, he explained, “there was the issue of—like, fucking ICE could be outside [my concert].” After Bad Bunny was announced as this year’s halftime show performer, Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, said that “ICE will have enforcement at the Super Bowl” during a podcast appearance.
