SANTA
CLARA,
CA - Bad
Bunny
delivered
a
historic
and
culturally
significant
performance
at Super
Bowl LX
on
Sunday,
becoming
the
first
Spanish-language
Latin
solo
artist
to
headline
the
halftime
show.
The
Grammy-winning
artist
captivated
millions
of
viewers
with an
expansive
production
that
celebrated
Puerto
Rican
culture
and
reggaeton
music.
The
performance
opened
with Bad
Bunny's
hit
"Tití Me
Preguntó,"
during
which he
walked
through
an
intricately
designed
set
featuring
piragua
carts,
boxing
matches,
dominoes
players,
and
dancers
that
brought
to life
scenes
of
Puerto
Rican
street
culture.
A
striking
moment
came
when he
transported
his
signature
casita
from his
historic
Puerto
Rico
residency
to the
Levi's
Stadium
stage,
where he
performed
old
school
reggaeton
classics
including
"Yo
Perreo
Sola,"
"Safaera,"
"Party,"
"Voy A
Llevarte
Pa' PR,"
and
"EoO."
Celebrity
cameos
elevated
the
production,
with
Lady
Gaga and
Ricky
Martin
each
performing.
Gaga
delivered
a salsa
rendition
of "Die
With a
Smile"
with
Latin
flair,
while
Martin
performed
"LO QUE
LE PASÓ
A
HAWAIÍ."
NBC Bay
Area The
show
also
featured
appearances
by
actors
Pedro
Pascal
and
Jessica
Alba,
rapper
Cardi B,
and
singer
Karol G.
A
particularly
poignant
moment
came
when
dozens
of
violin
players
emerged
from
sugar
canes
while
Bad
Bunny
delivered
a
bilingual
message
of
encouragement.
"My name
is
Benito
Antonio
Martínez
Ocasio
and if
I'm here
today at
Super
Bowl 60,
it's
because
I never
stopped
believing
in
myself,"
the
singer
said.
"You
should
believe
in
yourself
too."
The
halftime
show
carried
political
significance,
taking
place as
the
Trump
administration
continues
immigration
enforcement
operations.
Bad
Bunny's
performance
represented
a
milestone
for
Latino
visibility
on one
of
America's
biggest
stages,
drawing
both
celebration
and
controversy
from
various
groups
who
gathered
outside
the
venue.
Bad
Bunny
had
previously
performed
at the
Super
Bowl in
2020 as
part of
the show
alongside
Shakira
and
Jennifer
Lopez.
NBC News
This
year's
performance
marked
his
emergence
as a
solo
headliner
and a
defining
moment
for
Spanish-language
music on
the
global
stage.
