Bad Bunny delivered a star-studded spectacle at the Super Bowl 2026 halftime show, enlisting a roll-call of celebrity guests for his headline performance at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Lady Gaga, Jessica Alba, Pedro Pascal, Karol G, Young Miko, David Grutman, Cardi B, Alix Earle and Ricky Martin were among those who joined the 31-year-old Puerto Rican star on stage on Sunday night, as the Seattle Seahawks went on to beat the New England Patriots 29–13.
The set opened with Tití Me Preguntó, performed as Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, walked through a sugar-cane field constructed across the pitch, dressed in a cropped white shirt and drawstring trousers, football in hand.
He moved swiftly into Yo Perreo Sola, Safaera, Party, Voy a Llevarte Pa’ PR, EoO and Monaco, with a parade of dancers and guests weaving through the performance.
During Yo Perreo Sola, Cardi B danced alongside Alba, Earle, Karol G and Pascal.
While Cardi did not sing, the stadium erupted when Lady Gaga made her surprise entrance, delivering a salsa-inflected rendition of Die With A Smile complete with bongos, maracas and horns.
Gaga wore a striking blue gown inspired by the Puerto Rican flag and adorned with the island’s national flower, the Flor de Maga, as she salsa danced with the singer.
Pascal also appeared on stage, alongside Chilean rapper Young Miko and nightlife mogul David Grutman, while Ricky Martin performed a version of Bad Bunny’s Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawai’i.
The show’s visual ambition extended beyond the main stage.
Bad Bunny sang beside fruit vendors, a group of elderly men playing games and a beautician mid-manicure, before emerging atop a building as celebrities danced below.
In a pre-recorded segment, he appeared to crash through the roof into a family’s living room, brushing off the dust before bursting back outside to rejoin the show.
After regaining the spotlight solo, Bad Bunny performed BAILE INoLVIDABLE and NUEVAYoL, before welcoming Martin for LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii, taken from his 2025 album Debí Tirar Más Fotos.
Another surreal moment saw dancers dressed as utility workers suspended from wires around him as if repairing electrical poles.
The set closed with El Apagón, Café Con Ron and the album’s title track DeBÍ TIRAR MÁS FOTOS.
For the finale, Bad Bunny unfurled the Puerto Rican flag, passed it on and declared “God bless America!” before listing the countries of the Americas, including his “motherland”, Puerto Rico.
Behind him, an electronic billboard lit up with the message: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
Reaction online was rapturous.
“As a Lady Gaga fan and a Bad Bunny fan this halftime show was straight up crack in my veins,” one viewer wrote on X.
Another added: “Bad Bunny was fantastic! I loved the vibes and the whole look/feel. Plus Gaga and Ricky? A+ Benito!!”
