Bad Bunny Makes History with First All-Spanish Super Bowl Halftime Show
A groundbreaking performance by Bad Bunny at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show captivated audiences, marking the first time the coveted slot was filled by an artist performing entirely in Spanish. The Puerto Rican superstar delivered a 13-minute set at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday night, fulfilling his promise of a “fun and easy” experience focused on music and dance.
A Celebration of Music and Culture
Bad Bunny opened his performance with the hit song “Tití Me Preguntó,” immediately transforming the stadium into a vibrant celebration. The setlist continued with popular tracks including “Yo Perreo Sola,” “Safaera,” “Baile Inolvidable,” and “Nuevayol,” showcasing the breadth of his musical catalog.
The performance wasn’t solely a showcase of Bad Bunny’s talent; it was a cultural moment. The inclusion of notable Latino and Latina figures, such as Toñita, the owner of Caribbean Social Club in New York, underscored the significance of the event.
Surprise Guests Elevate the Show
Adding to the excitement, Bad Bunny welcomed special guests Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga to the stage. Lady Gaga performed a solo rendition of her Grammy-winning duet with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile,” adding another layer of star power to the already electrifying show.
Fashion Statement: Zara and Adidas Collaboration
Bad Bunny’s fashion choices were as noteworthy as his musical performance. Eschewing his typically bold style, the artist opted for a pared-back, yet elevated, look designed by Zara. Styled by Storm Pablo and Marvin Douglas Linares, his outfit consisted of a collared shirt, tie, a sport-inspired jersey bearing his family name, Ocasio, and the number 64, chinos, and sneakers, all in a cream hue. He later added a double-breasted blazer in the same shade.
The number 64 held personal significance, representing the birth year of his late uncle, Cutito, who instilled in Bad Bunny a love for the NFL and the San Francisco 49ers. This detail added a poignant layer to the seemingly minimalist aesthetic.
The collaboration with Zara, a Spain-based retailer, was described as “amazing” by the brand in a statement, marking the first time Zara has outfitted a performer on such a large scale, extending to his backup dancers, band, and orchestra.
Bad Bunny completed his look with matching cream gloves and a Royal Oak timepiece from Audemars Piguet, featuring an 18-karat yellow gold case and a malachite stone dial. He also sported his own “BadBo 1.0” sneakers, a collaboration with Adidas, which were released today.
A Historic Performance
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show represents a pivotal moment in music and cultural representation. His performance not only entertained millions but also broke barriers, demonstrating the global appeal of Latin music and solidifying his status as a true superstar.
