Lady Gaga is showing some love for Bad Bunny.
One day after Gaga performed alongside the Puerto Rican star during the Super Bowl halftime show, she thanked him for the inclusion on social media.
“Thank you Benito for including me in this powerful, important, and meaningful performance. I am so humbled to be a part of this moment,” Gaga, 39, wrote on Instagram, alongside a carousel of photos.

“It’s all the more special because it was with you and your beautiful heart and music. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ All my love to Benito, Ricky [Martin] and the whole cast,” she continued in her note to Bad Bunny, 31. “Thank you to @chloeandchenelle and @luar for my beautiful styling and fashion ❤️ All of your talent and love made that beautiful dress come to life.”
In the carousel of photos, Gaga shared a sweet photo embracing Bad Bunny, another showing off her blue dress and red accessories, a photo with Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin — who was Bad Bunny’s second surprise guest — and a few more shots with the “DtMf” singer in different poses.
In a separate post, she shared a video of the moment and said it was “an absolute honor” to be a part of the 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,” she wrote.
Bad Bunny (born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) had only two surprise performers during the halftime show. Gaga sang a salsa rendition of her hit “Die with a Smile” and fellow Puerto Rican star Martin, 54, sang “LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii,” which was featured on Bad Bunny’s latest album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.

In addition to the surprise performers, however, Bad Bunny brought back La Casita — which is a celebrity hot spot on his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour — and there were multiple star-studded cameos including Jessica Alba, Pedro Pascal and Bad Bunny’s “I Like It” collaborator Cardi B.
This wasn’t Gaga’s first time on the Super Bowl stage. The “Poker Face” singer headlined her own halftime show in 2017, and returned for a surprise pre-game performance at Super Bowl 2025.
