Overview
- The 13-minute Apple Music Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium was performed primarily in Spanish and featured high-profile cameos, including Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, with appearances by Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Jessica Alba, Karol G, Alix Earle, and Young Miko.
- Bad Bunny closed by holding a football reading “Together, We Are America” beneath a stadium screen declaring “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” after listing countries across the Americas and saying “God bless America.”
- The set drew on Puerto Rican cultural imagery and staging, with some outlets interpreting power-line motifs as a nod to the island’s persistent electrical outages.
- A widely shared claim that the onstage child receiving Bad Bunny’s Grammy was Liam Ramos was corrected, with The Hollywood Reporter confirming the boy was not Liam; the Grammy handoff itself did occur.
- Complex highlighted Vanity Fair’s debunk of speculation that Bad Bunny wore a bulletproof vest at the Grammys, while President Donald Trump condemned the halftime performance on social media as “absolutely terrible” and a “slap in the face.”
