Super Bowl LX delivered a thrilling matchup on the field and a present-stopping halftime performance by Bad Bunny on Sunday, February 8, 2026, captivating audiences in San Francisco and beyond. The Seattle Seahawks currently lead the New England Patriots 9-0 as the second half gets underway in what has been described as a defensive battle.
Puerto Rican music superstar Bad Bunny took the stage during halftime, delivering an energetic performance filled with his biggest hits and visually striking imagery. The show included theatrical references to songs and symbols from his extensive Spanish-language catalog.
The halftime show also brought attention to a unique symbol: Sapo Concho, a crested toad native to Puerto Rico. According to reports, the toad is endangered, but Bad Bunny’s spotlight on the creature has sparked increased awareness and online searches for information about its conservation. “Since the album’s release, Concho has been everywhere: concerts, merchandise, and social feeds,” one report noted. “Fans chant his name, share his image and wear toad-themed hoodies.”
Adding to the star power of the event, Pedro Pascal and Lady Gaga were also spotted at the halftime show, according to ESPN Argentina.
Meanwhile, the New England Patriots are facing a challenge on the field, struggling to score against the Seahawks’ strong defense. The team reportedly prepared for the extended halftime break by playing Bad Bunny’s music during a practice session on Friday, February 7, 2026, simulating the longer intermission. Head coach Mike Vrabel sent his team off the field at 1:52 p.m. Local time and brought them back after 14 minutes, blasting Bad Bunny’s music in an effort to acclimate them to the unusual downtime.
The Super Bowl also saw a bit of a counter-programming effort, with Kid Rock performing a concert as an alternative to Bad Bunny’s halftime show, drawing attention from supporters of former President Trump, as reported by Infobae.
As the second half begins, the Seattle Seahawks are 30 minutes away from potentially securing their second Super Bowl title. The game is being closely watched by fans worldwide, and the performance by Bad Bunny has undoubtedly added another layer of excitement to Super Bowl LX.
