“Sea Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador, Brasil, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Panamá, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, México, Cuba, República Dominicana, Jamaica, Haití, Antillas, United States, Canada, and my motherland, mi patria, Puerto Rico… seguimos aquí!” – Bad Bunny
In Super Bowl LX, 8 February 2026, Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny made history at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. His 13-minute performance was praised not only for the spectacle but also for the cultural meaning behind it. Additionally, Bad Bunny was the 1st Latin solo Artist to sing (almost) entirely in Spanish, blending Reggaeton, salsa, and Latin pop in his performance among other styles.
What made the show even more memorable was the appearance of world-renowned stars such as Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, who embraced a powerful message: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
Bad Bunny’s halftime show was more than just a regular halftime show; it was a colourful embodiment of the Latin Culture and identity that many of his fans relate to around the world. Starting with the 2022 hit “Tití Me Preguntó”, he completely transformed the reggaeton song into the living essence of Puerto Rican Culture and Caribbean vibes, constantly referencing childhood neighborhoodand its commerces, stores, and parties.
During his performance, flags from various American territories were displayed…
No, not Florida, NY, California, or any U.S. state flag; instead of this, there were Venezuelan, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Mexican flags to name some.
And no, it’s not because of Mr. Trump’s recent actions… but to share instead the concept that America (North and South) is 2 continents, not just the one country. Not only that, but completely changing the meaning of “God Bless America” from a patriotic chant to 3 words that advocate for equality and inclusion.
The performance included lots of songs, among which the more iconic are NUEVAYoL, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, Yo Perreo Sola, as well as the already mentioned Titi me Preguntó and Bruno Mars’ Die With a Smile.
Overall, this Super Bowl had more in it than just American Football; it was full of Latin pride and culture. Some praise it for raising awareness, others, like Trump, criticize it for being “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst, EVER”. All that is certain is that this will go down in time as one of the best and most significant halftime shows in the history of the Super Bowl!
