Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, was electrified on Sunday night as Lady Gaga joined Bad Bunny during the Super Bowl LX halftime show for a surprise performance. The performance, which also featured Ricky Martin, blended Latin rhythms with pop sensibilities, creating an unforgettable spectacle for the millions watching worldwide.
Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar, opened the show with his hit song "Tití Me Preguntó," immediately setting a vibrant and energetic tone. He made a statement by declaring, "You are listening to music from Puerto Rico," emphasizing the importance of his heritage and culture. Every aspect of his performance paid tribute to the island, bringing a piece of Puerto Rico to the world's biggest stage.
A key feature of the set was the "Casita," a mini house reminiscent of his Puerto Rico residency, where celebrity guests like Cardi B, Karol G, Pedro Pascal, and David Grutman cheered and danced, adding to the feeling of an exclusive party broadcast to a global audience.
The unexpected appearance of Lady Gaga was a highlight of the night. She graced the stage in a stunning blue dress and red heels, delivering a salsa-infused rendition of "Die With a Smile" alongside a troupe of dancers. The true surprise came when she and Bad Bunny danced together to "Baile Inolvidable," igniting social media with clips of their captivating chemistry and salsa moves.
Bad Bunny's performance included hits from his latest album "DeBÍ Tirar Más Fotos". The set included a proposal and on-stage wedding. Bad Bunny made history as the first halftime performer to sing entirely in Spanish. Before his performance, Bad Bunny encouraged fans to focus on enjoying the music and dance, saying, "People only have to worry about dance... They don't even have to learn Spanish. It's better if they learn to dance. There's no better dance than the one that can come from the heart... that's the only thing they need to worry about, to have fun and enjoy, and of course, choose your team at the game".
The Super Bowl LX halftime show was not just a performance; it was a cultural celebration that resonated with fans worldwide.
