Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show is officially one for the history books.
The Puerto Rican global superstar delivered a powerful, high-energy performance at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026, blending music, culture, dance, and unity at a moment when the country needed it most. And while fans expected surprises, few could have predicted the A-list celebrity takeover that unfolded on the field.
Surprise Guest Performances Lit Up the Stage
As widely speculated ahead of kickoff, Bad Bunny (born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) welcomed major musical guests during his set.
- Lady Gaga stunned the crowd with a surprise salsa-style rendition of her Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Die With a Smile,” performing solo without Bruno Mars.
- Ricky Martin followed with a show-stopping moment of his own, delivering a passionate performance of “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii.”
But the biggest buzz didn’t come from the microphones — it came from the sidelines.
Cardi B, Karol G, Pedro Pascal & Jessica Alba Steal the Spotlight
In a move no one saw coming, Bad Bunny filled the stage with celebrities who weren’t there to perform — just to vibe, dance, and celebrate.
Among the stars spotted dancing on the Puerto Rico-inspired set:
- Cardi B
- Karol G
- Pedro Pascal
- Jessica Alba
- Young Miko
The celebrities blended seamlessly with dancers and performers, turning the halftime show into a massive cultural celebration rather than a traditional pop spectacle.
A Message of Unity Amid Political Backlash
As the performance neared its end, Bad Bunny made his message unmistakably clear, holding up a football emblazoned with the words:
“Together, we are America.”
The moment resonated deeply, especially after criticism from conservative groups who objected to a predominantly Spanish-language performer headlining the 2026 halftime show — backlash that even led Turning Point USA to host an alternative mid-game event.
Bad Bunny’s response was simple: community over controversy.
And the presence of high-profile stars standing beside him — without speeches or statements — reinforced that message louder than words ever could.
