Alba was featured on Bad Bunny’s “casita,” a stage that has been incorporated in his most recent tour, hosting all manner of celebrities who get to enjoy the show from a close perspective to Bunny.
The casita was one of the elements that Bad Bunny used in his halftime show performance, with Alba joined by stars and influencers like Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Karol G, Young Miko, David Grutman, and Alix Earle.
Alba shared an emotional video and a statement a couple of days after the much-discussed show. “What an honor to be part of such an extraordinary moment in history! La casita – let’s gooooo! Joy you could feel. Pride you could see. A beautiful love letter to Puerto Rico – and to all of America. Yesterday was bigger than a performance. It was Dignity. Inclusion. Unity. Representation. And Love,” she wrote.

“Benito ‘Bad Bunny’ tells stories rooted in his culture, his people, and his truth – and yesterday, those stories were centered on one of the biggest stages in the world. Watching him honor the diversity of our community gave me full body chills and was so emotional. Some of the most meaningful moments don’t need explanation or translation – you just feel them. For me, yesterday was about joy – fully living inside it.”
“Because when culture is honored instead of erased, when people are seen instead of sidelined, we become one. Above all, as Benito has said, ‘The only thing more powerful than hate is love.’ Love, joy, and unity – this is how we rise,” she concluded.
