Bad Bunny’s Spanish-Language Super Bowl Halftime Celebrates Puerto Rico

The Spanish-language, Puerto Rico-centered set drew immediate condemnation from President Trump.

Overview

  • Bad Bunny became the first Latino and Spanish-speaking solo headliner of the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show with a 13-minute performance at Levi’s Stadium.
  • The production highlighted Puerto Rican and broader Latin American culture, closing with unity messages reading “Together, We Are America” and “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
  • Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin performed as surprise guests, and a star-studded “La Casita” set featured cameos from figures including Cardi B, Karol G, Pedro Pascal and Jessica Alba.
  • A couple was married onstage in a real ceremony, confirmed by the singer’s team and NBC News reporting.
  • Bad Bunny wore an all-white jersey labeled “Ocasio 64”; Ocasio is his legal surname and the meaning of “64” remains unconfirmed, as President Trump blasted the show as “absolutely terrible.”
