STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Bad Bunny\u2019s record-breaking Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, certainly coveted New Yorkers\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n

In a stat shared by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection on Feb. 9, the water and sewage-handling agency said there was a \u201csignificant reduction\u201d in the city\u2019s water usage during Benito\u2019s headlining set. <\/p>\n

In the minutes after, however, the agency observed a spike they say was equivalent to nearly 800,000 toilets flushing.<\/p>\n

\u201cNYC saw a significant reduction in water usage throughout the five boroughs during the Super Bowl\u2019s [Bad Bunny] halftime show yesterday,\u201d the agency said in the X post. \u201cIn the 15 minutes right after the show ended, there was a spike in usage equivalent to 761,719 toilets flushing across town.\u201d<\/p>\n

This suggests New Yorkers were holding off on bathroom breaks until after Bad Bunny wrapped his star-studded set.<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny performed several of his most popular songs, including \u201cYo Perreo Sola\u201d and \u201cNUEVAYoL,\u201d<\/a> the more eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed some of the many celebrity cameos.<\/p>\n

Some of the more obvious ones were the other performers joining Bad Bunny on stage, including Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.<\/p>\n

Lady Gaga appeared to sing an abridged, salsa-inspired version of her song \u201cDie with a Smile,\u201d while Martin sang on Bad Bunny\u2019s song \u201cLO QUE LE PASO\u0301 A HAWAii,” according to USA Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Other cameos included Pedro Pascal, Cardi B and Jessica Alba, according to NBC News<\/a>.
