Bad Bunny dazzles at Super Bowl LX halftime show
The international superstar took viewers on a musical journey through many aspects of Latin culture.
Just one week after winning the Grammy for Album of the Year, Puerto Rican musical artist Bad Bunny performed as a headliner at the Super Bowl LX halftime show. He is the first Latin-Spanish artist to perform solo at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Bad Bunny spoke and sang entirely in Spanish, except for a brief moment where he shouted, “God Bless America!” » He performed several of his hit songs, such as “Tití Me Pregunto” and “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS”. Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga were also in attendance, singing “Die with a Smile” and “LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii,” respectively.
Many aspects of Latin culture were on display during the show, including marching bands, street markets, weddings, and of course, singing and dancing. There was even a moment where Bad Bunny presented a young Latin kid with his recently won Grammy Award.
With nearly 20 billion streams on Spotify, Bad Bunny is widely considered the most popular musician in the world. Since the start of the decade, Bad Bunny has been the top artist on Spotify in terms of streams for four of the last five years.
On September 28, 2025, Bad Bunny was officially announced as the headliner for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. The decision was made by the NFL as part of a partnership with Apple Music and Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded by rapper Jay-Z.
“What I feel goes beyond myself. It's for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come up and score a touchdown,” » Bad Bunny said in a statement following the announcement. “It’s for my people, my culture and our history.”
Bad Bunny put on a spectacular show, according to this journalist. Although I'm not fluent in Spanish and didn't understand all of the words sung, it was inconsequential. The music created an atmosphere that was accessible to people from all corners of the world. Most importantly, the sound and rhythm it provided to the audience was incredibly enjoyable and a very entertaining experience. Bad Bunny managed to transcend language barriers, giving us one of the best Super Bowl halftime shows we've seen in years. He had nothing to say or do to combat the hatred that was being directed against him and the NFL. He was able to share the most beautiful parts of his heritage with the rest of the world while still being incredibly entertaining.
Not only did we learn more about Latin culture, but the National Football League's choice to put it center stage during the Super Bowl was excellent.
