Bad Bunny delivered a historic Super Bowl halftime performance Sunday night (February 8)at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco.
The 31-year-old reggaeton king took the stage between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. His 13-minute set celebrated Latin culture on America’s biggest stage. Cardi B and Karol G made brief appearances in a swarm of dancers, but Lady Gaga grabbed the spotlight with her part on “Die With a Smile,” and Ricky Martin was a special guest for “LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii.” Others who appeared in the swarm of dancers include Jessica Alba, Young Miko, Pedro Pascal and Alix Earle. This year’s halftime show represented a cultural milestone for Latino representation in American sports. And the majority of viewers embraced Bad Bunny’s historic performance tonight. Social media is filled with praise for his energy and cultural celebration.
The support comes as Bad Bunny faces mounting political pressure. His Grammy Awards speech calling out ICE sparked nationwide controversy. Conservative groups launched petition drives demanding his removal from the halftime show. Bad Bunny made history as the first solo Latino headliner in Super Bowl halftime show history. His performance at Levi’s Stadium represents a cultural milestone for Hispanic and Latino communities nationwide.
