Bad Bunny Super Bowl Show Makes Waves on Both Sides of Political Aisle
Bad Bunny's halftime show featured surprise celebrity cameos, a real couple marrying onstage, and cultural unity messages, marking a historic first primarily Spanish-language Super Bowl performance.
- On Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026, Bad Bunny headlined a halftime show performed primarily in Spanish at Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, with Lady Gaga joining as a guest performer.

- On the final number, Bad Bunny and dancers carried flags, with a Jumbotron reading `The only thing more powerful than hate is love` and a football labeled `Together, we are America`, praised by social media users.
- The halftime spotlight boosted Villa's Tacos, a Los Angeles taco cart, whose owner honored representing `mi raza` after more than 8 years, while viewers debated social media conversation about commercials and nostalgia including two Backstreet Boys moments and a crypto commercial that altered lyrics.
