Bad Bunny Just Took Over the Super Bowl Halftime Show: All the Highlights

Bad Bunny went all out for his Super Bowl performance, as we expected.

The Puerto Rican superstar used the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show to make history, delivering a performance that blended global hits, Latin pride, surprise guests, and a clear political message about love, identity, and inclusion.

Here’s everything that went down during Bad Bunny’s headline-making halftime show.

Bad Bunny kicked things off without easing the crowd in. He launched directly into “Tití Me Preguntó,” setting the tone for a high-energy, Spanish-first performance. From there, the set moved quickly through fan favourites including “Yo Perreo Sola,” “Eoo,” “Monaco,” “Baile Inolvidable,” and “Nuevayol.”

The pacing was quite intentional, as there were no long breaks or unnecessary talking moments. This was hit after hit, built for a global audience that already knows the words.

Even before the first surprise appearance, we had a lot of stars in his house. As the show kicked off, names and faces like Jessica Alba, Karol G, Young Miko, Cardi B, and Pedro Pascal appeared, reinforcing the night’s central idea of being a celebration of Latin culture across music, film, and pop culture.

The first official guest of the night was Lady Gaga, who joined Bad Bunny on stage early in the set. The pairing was unexpected but effective, drawing one of the loudest reactions of the night. Their moment together deliberately leaned into spectacle and performance, fitting neatly into the show’s larger flow.

Lady Gaga brought the surprise, while Ricky Martin was the emotional core.

Bad Bunny invited the Puerto Rican icon on stage to perform one of the most emblematic songs from Debí Tirar Más Fotos. The moment landed hard both musically and politically, because both artists share a history beyond music, having previously stood together during protests against former Puerto Rican governor Ricardo Rosselló.

It was one of the night’s most powerful scenes, and also one of the least expected guests to see Bad Bunny bring out. Two generations of Puerto Rican artists, sharing the Super Bowl stage, singing in Spanish, with the world watching.

Midway through the performance, Bad Bunny shifted the focus from hits to symbolism. Flags from across Latin America and the wider Americas filled the stage as he delivered a simple but pointed message: hate is best answered with love and inclusion.

In a year already charged with political tension, the moment was obviously intentional and impossible to miss.

By the end of the show, Bad Bunny had run through an impressive list of songs, blending old favourites with newer material. The full halftime set included:

• Tití Me Preguntó
  
  

• Yo Perreo Sola
  
  

• Mía
  
  

• Monaco
  
  

• Safaera
  
  

• I Like It
  
  

• The Blackout
  
  

• The Move
  
  

• Nuevayol
  
  

• Baile Inolvidable
  
  

• DTMF
  

As if the music and symbolism weren’t enough, Bad Bunny also used the moment to debut his latest adidas collaboration: the BadBo 1.0 sneakers. The shoes made their first public appearance during the press conference and later at the show.

Bad Bunny came into the Super Bowl halftime show with sky-high expectations, and he met them head-on. From the first song, his energy never dipped.

The set moved quickly, the transitions made sense, and nothing dragged. Guest appearances landed without hijacking the show, and the crowd stayed with him all the way through.

Still, not everyone was pleased. Some viewers took to social media to complain that the entire performance was in Spanish, a reaction that is quickly becoming part of the post-show conversation.
