Bad Bunny Makes History with Defiant Super Bowl Show

Bad Bunny made history at Super Bowl LX, transforming California’s Levi’s Stadium into a vibrant celebration of Puerto Rican culture on Sunday, 8 February.

Performing entirely in Spanish, the global star navigated a stage featuring sugarcane fields and power lines, symbolising his island’s infrastructure struggles. His performance reached a record-breaking 135.4 million fans.

The spectacle featured A-list cameos from Pedro Pascal and Cardi B, alongside a salsa-infused collaboration with Lady Gaga. While the show faced some social media criticism from Donald Trump, the entertainment industry’s response was overwhelmingly positive.

NFL legend Tom Brady summed up the night on Instagram, simply writing: “Amazing!!!!!!!!!”

The 13-minute set was a masterclass in production, featuring a real-life wedding and a heartfelt moment where the singer handed his Grammy trophy to a young child. Bad Bunny closed the night by listing every nation in the Western Hemisphere while holding a football bearing the slogan “Together, We Are America.”

With an estimated 135.4 million viewers, the broadcast set a new all-time record for a halftime show. This massive audience eclipsed the 5.2 million viewers who tuned into a rival “All-American” alternative featuring Kid Rock, proving the Puerto Rican star’s immense global pulling power.
