Bad Bunny’s Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show performance was jam-packed with celebrity features.
The “Mónaco” crooner literally crashed X after Cardi B, Lady Gaga and more stars appeared during his show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday.
He opened with his hit “Tití Me Preguntó” before transitioning into “Yo Perreo Sola,” where Cardi B was seen dancing alongside Jessica Alba, Alix Earle, Karol G and Pedro Pascal.
While Cardi didn’t sing, the audience went crazy when Lady Gaga appeared on the field to sing a salsa-style version of “Die With A Smile,” which featured bongos, maracas and horns.
Gaga dazzled in a blue dress, referencing the Puerto Rican flag, which was adorned with the territory’s official national flower, the Flor de Maga.
Next to join the performance was Ricky Martin, who sang a rendition of Bad Bunny’s song, “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaiʻi.”
The reggaeton superstar celebrated his Puerto Rican heratige throughout the performance.
Bad Bunny — born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — announced he would be headlining the annual halftime show back in September.
At the time, the “Baile Inolvidable” singer, 31, shared a video of himself sitting on a football field goal post, paired with his 2022 song “Callaita,” via Instagram.
“Super Bowl LX. Bay Area. February 2026. #AppleMusicHalftime,” the post was captioned.
Bad Bunny expressed his excitement to perform in a press release obtained by Page Six that read, “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself.
“It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history.”
The “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” singer, who has spoken out against the Trump administration and the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), received criticism from conservatives, including Danica Patrick, who claimed the hitmaker “shouldn’t be allowed” to headline the Super Bowl.
The former professional racing driver tweeted in October that Bad Bunny was a “massive [President Donald] Trump hater” and an “anti-ICE activist.”
“Oh fun. No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America’s highest rated television events of the year… not just for sports,” she said.
Additionally, Trump condemned the Grammy winner and Green Day’s forthcoming performances during an interview with the Post, saying, “I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible.”
Bad Bunny, however, has shrugged off the complaints and clapped back at critics during his “Saturday Night Live” monologue in October.
“You might not know this, but I’m doing the Super Bowl Halftime Show. And I’m very happy and I think everybody’s happy about it,” he joked. “Even Fox News!”
The comedy sketch then showed a clip of a Fox News reporter saying, “Bad Bunny is my favorite musician and he should be the next president.”
The “Nuevayol” singer shared he was excited to perform, describing it as a “win” for all the Latinos in America.
