Super Bowl 2026: Bad Bunny performs joyful, controversy-free halftime show

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show was a resounding celebration of Latin culture, joy, and unity. The 13-minute set, which kicked off at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026, featured an eclectic mix of the Puerto Rican artist's biggest hits and special guest performances that left fans beaming with delight.

In a notable departure from the controversy that had swirled around some of his past performances, Bad Bunny brought his signature high-energy stage presence to the table, effortlessly weaving in physical comedy and charisma. The show also marked an opportunity for him to pay homage to his Puerto Rican heritage and the rich musical traditions of Latin America.

The halftime show kicked off with a medley of hits like "Tití Me Preguntó," "Yo Perreo Sola," "Safaera," and "Party." Later, Bad Bunny was joined on stage by fellow Puerto Rican Ricky Martin for a duet on Daddy Yankee's 2004 reggaeton smash “Gasolina.” The setlist also featured Lady Gaga, who arrived to perform alongside Bad Bunny during the show's halftime moment.

The set also showcased other notable guest performers including actor Pedro Pascal and rapper Cardi B.

Throughout the performance, the focus remained firmly on spreading love and unity – a message that stood in stark contrast to some of the divisiveness that had preceded it. Even in the wake of criticism from President Donald Trump calling Bad Bunny’s performance “absolutely terrible,” “disgusting,” and “the worst ever,” a message on the Jumbotron at Levi's Stadium reading “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” left fans grinning with joy.

Ultimately, Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show will be remembered as an unapologetic celebration of Latin culture – one that defied expectations and filled the stadium with smiles, laughter and a renewed sense of unity.

It's like, we're living in times where the noise is getting so loud that sometimes it feels like we've lost sight of what truly matters. But shows like this remind us that even in the darkest moments, there's always a way to rise above and spread some love. And I gotta say, seeing Bad Bunny, Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga, Pedro Pascal and Cardi B all come together on that stage was just...wow. It was like the whole stadium was united in that moment, you know? 💖🎶

Even though some people were hating on him beforehand (ugh, Trump 🙄), I think he totally turned the tables with this show. Can't wait to see what's next for him 💃🕺
 
I dunno man, I was expecting something way more low-key from the Super Bowl, but I gotta give it to Bad Bunny, he totally brought the house down 🤩! The fact that he made everyone forget about all the drama and just let loose and celebrate Latin culture is what really matters. And can we talk about how cool it was to see Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga rock out on stage together? It was like a musical dream come true 🎶!

And let's be real, it was such a great message – spreading love and unity is exactly what we need more of in this world 🌎. I loved how he got to share that with his Latin culture and heritage – it's not every day you get to see someone do that on that big stage 📺.

I'm so glad Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin came out to support him too – they totally added to the magic ✨. And Cardi B? Yeah, she brought the heat 🔥!

Ugh, can't believe they made it so short 🤦‍♂️, I mean, 13 minutes is nothing! I've seen longer concerts at local bars on a Friday night 😒. And what's up with the setlist? It was all over the place, one minute reggaeton, next minute pop... like, can't they just stick to one genre for once? 🎶. And don't even get me started on the guest performers, I mean, Pedro Pascal joining in for a song or two is cool and all, but what about the actual headliner, Bad Bunny? 😒. It felt like they were trying too hard to appeal to everyone instead of just being themselves. 🤷‍♂️ Overall, it was a solid effort, but I'm still underwhelmed 🤔.
 
aww i'm still buzzing from that halftime show 🤩🎉 what a beautiful message to spread love and unity!!! it's amazing how bad bunny was able to bring everyone together despite some ppl being super negative about it 😔 like, honestly can u think of anyone more awesome than bringing a little more joy and positivity to the world right now? 🌎💖
 
idk why ppl were so down about bad bunny's performance 🤷‍♂️ he brought a whole new level of energy to the super bowl halftime show. I loved how he incorporated physical comedy into his act, it added this extra layer of fun to the whole thing 😂. also, having ricky martin and lady gaga on stage was amazing 💖. but you know what really stood out to me? the message of love and unity that ran throughout the whole performance ❤️. it's weird how some ppl can't see the bigger picture 🤯. like, who gets to decide what art is "good" or "bad"? 🤷‍♂️ ultimately, bad bunny brought joy and happiness to a lot of people, and that's what matters 💕.
 
😒 I mean, what was up with the guest list? Like, I get it, Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin are cool and all, but Cardi B and Pedro Pascal? It felt like they just threw a bunch of random people on there to fill out the setlist. And don't even get me started on that weird medley at the start - "Tití Me Preguntó", "Yo Perreo Sola"... what's with all those songs back-to-back? Can't they just pick one or two and go with it? 🤷‍♂️
