Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show: A Latin Celebration & Political Statement

Bad Bunny delivered a show-stopping performance at the Super Bowl LXI halftime show on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, marking a historic moment as the first Latin artist to primarily perform in Spanish on the Super Bowl stage. The performance wasn’t just a concert; it was a vibrant celebration of Latin American culture, complete with a parade of flags representing countries across the continent.

The 13-minute set kicked off with “Tití Me Preguntó” and featured a string of hits including “Eoo,” “BAILE INoLVIDABLE,” “El Apagón,” “CAFé CON RON,” “MONACO” and “NUEVAYoL.” The performance also unfolded as a love story, beginning with an engagement and culminating in a wedding taking place on the field. The artist brought his iconic “La Casita” – a pink traditional Puerto Rican house from his recent residency – to the stadium, inviting a star-studded guest list including Alix Earle, Jessica Alba, Cardi B, Karol G, Pedro Pascal, Ronald Acuña Jr., and Young Miko to join the party.

A surprise appearance by Lady Gaga added another layer of excitement, as she joined Bad Bunny for a salsa rendition of “Die With a Smile.” The performance was backed by Los Pleneros de la Cresta, adding a unique musical element to the collaboration. This moment resonated particularly deeply given the current climate surrounding immigration policies. The performance highlights Bad Bunny’s growing influence as a global superstar.

Bad Bunny’s outfit also made a statement, opting for a cream-colored two-piece ensemble. He wore a padded cotton sweatshirt with “64” – his mother Lysaurie Ocasio’s birth year – embroidered on it, layered over a collared shirt. He paired the top with chinos and sneakers from his Adidas collaboration, completing the look with a gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch. His stylists were Storm Pablo and Marvin Douglas Linares.

The choice of Zara, a globally recognized affordable fashion brand, was a deliberate one, sending a message about accessibility and inclusivity during a high-profile event known for its massive advertising impact. The Super Bowl is one of the most impactful advertising events in the world, so the brand’s inclusion was no accident.

Later in the performance, Bad Bunny switched his sweatshirt for a white double-breasted tuxedo jacket and wide-leg trousers, embodying a classic Latin heartthrob aesthetic. The color white has become a signature for the artist, notably worn at the Met Gala, where he sported a dramatic outfit designed by Simon Porte Jacquemus, featuring an eight-meter train.

The tribute to Puerto Rico continued with a floral detail – a hibiscus, the national flower of Puerto Rico – worn on his lapel, a nod to a similar gesture at the 2024 Met Gala.
