Jessica Alba has revealed she experienced “full body chills” while on stage during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show.
The actress has reflected on taking part in Sunday’s performance, which celebrated Puerto Rican pride, as well as themes of unity and inclusion.
Jessica was among several celebrities, including Pedro Pascal, Karol G and Cardi B, who appeared on the stage during a portion of the show set in a casita.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, the Fantastic Four star shared that it was an “honour” to be invited on stage.
“What an honor to be part of such an extraordinary moment in history!” she wrote. “La casita – let’s gooooo!”
“Joy you could feel. Pride you could see,” the actress continued. “A beautiful love letter to Puerto Rico – and to all of America. Yesterday was bigger than a performance. It was Dignity. Inclusion. Unity. Representation. And Love.”
Jessica went on to describe how emotional she found the performance.
“Benito ‘Bad Bunny’ tells stories rooted in his culture, his people, and his truth – and yesterday, those stories were centered on one of the biggest stages in the world,” she penned. “Watching him honor the diversity of our community gave me full body chills and was so emotional. Some of the most meaningful moments don’t need explanation or translation – you just feel them.”
The Good Luck Chuck star noted that the show was “about joy”, adding, “Because when culture is honored instead of erased, when people are seen instead of sidelined, we become one.”
Jessica concluded by referencing the message that appeared at the end of the set, adding, “Above all, as Benito has said, ‘The only thing more powerful than hate is love.’ Love, joy, and unity – this is how we rise.”
Bad Bunny was also joined by surprise performers Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
