Bad Bunny took over the Super Bowl halftime stage with a performance that felt less like a traditional pop spectacle and more like a cultural statement. Blending reggaeton, Latin rhythms and large scale choreography, the Puerto Rican artist turned one of the most watched broadcasts in the world into a celebration of Latin identity and global pop power.
The show gained another layer of impact with surprise appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. Gaga joined Bad Bunny for a genre crossing moment that fused pop and Latin influences, while Ricky Martin brought a sense of legacy and continuity, linking generations of Latin artists on the same stage.
More than a hit driven performance, the halftime show leaned heavily into symbolism, visuals and collective energy. Spanish language lyrics dominated the set, choreography referenced Caribbean culture and the overall message was clear. Latin music is not a trend. It is central to today’s global pop culture.
With this performance, Bad Bunny did not just entertain. He reshaped what a Super Bowl halftime show can represent in 2026.
