Bad Bunny anchored the Super Bowl LX halftime show with a performance steeped in cultural pride and dramatic storytelling, becoming the first solo Latino artist to carry the halftime stage almost entirely in Spanish. He opened with high-energy favorites like “Tití Me Preguntó” and wove through a medley of his biggest hits while the set transformed around him into vivid scenes reminiscent of Puerto Rican life — from sugar cane fields to the iconic “La Casita” setup — celebrating heritage, resilience, and unity. Throughout the performance, his energetic presence, symbolic gestures like waving flags from across the Americas, and heartfelt closing message emphasized not just music, but the connection between his roots and audiences around the world.

Her presence alongside Bad Bunny and other stars highlighted how Latin music’s current wave includes both established legends and rising icons, creating a sense of shared space in a genre that continues to shape global pop.
