Bad Bunny made history with a unique and unforgettable performance at the Super Bowl 2026 Halftime Show. The show featured high-profile guests like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, a celebration of Puerto Rican culture, and special appearances by major stars such as Karol G, Cardi B and Pedro Pascal. It was full of iconic moments: a live wedding, the gifting of a Grammy, and a powerful inspirational message.
Jessica Roiz: We’ve arrived at the Benito Bowl, I mean, the Super Bowl, from Levi’s Stadium here in Santa Clara, California. And this is our halftime show recap show presented by Lexus. Never before had there been a halftime show like Bad Bunny’s. Dressed in white, Benito brought the little house of Puerto Rico to California and started with his big hit, “Titi Me Preguntó.” Puerto Rican culture was well represented: Coco Fríos, dominoes, boxers, even a child asleep in a chair. He danced in a little house full of stars: Karol G, Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, and made time to send a direct message to the camera:
Bad Bunny: It’s because I never, I never stopped believing in myself! You should too. You should also believe in yourself. You’re worth more than you think. Believe me.
Jessica Roiz: The first surprise guest? Lady Gaga, performing a salsa version of her hit “Die With a Smile.” Another surprise? Ricky Martin, who sang “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii.” A couple got married, Bad Bunny climbed a light post, and as a symbolic gesture, he gave a Grammy to what might be his inner child. The fans’ passion was palpable in the stadium and even backstage. A few days before, during the press conference, journalists showed their love and support. Bad Bunny reminded everyone, “I know I told everyone they had four months to learn Spanish, but it’s better if you learn to dance.” Benito ended the halftime show with a powerful message of unity: “God bless America!” He also reminded us all to take more photos. What a historic moment in Latin music! I’m Jessica Roiz, and this was our recap of the Benito Bowl. As always, stay connected to Billboard. Bye!
