Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show quickly became one of the most discussed performances in recent years. From the opening moments, viewers sensed the show was more than a music set, filled with visual storytelling and symbolic scenes that invited interpretation.
Midway through the performance, a couple seen throughout the choreography was revealed to be getting married live on the field. The surprise ceremony, arranged by Bad Bunny after the couple originally invited him to their wedding, stunned viewers and added an emotional center to the show.
Other brief appearances added to the buzz. Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin appeared briefly, while familiar faces were woven into the set. These moments reinforced the feeling that every detail was carefully planned.

The biggest debate followed a quiet gesture near the end of the show, when Bad Bunny handed his Grammy Award to a young boy onstage. Social media quickly speculated about its meaning. Some believed it was political, while others said it symbolized childhood dreams and Bad Bunny’s own journey. Later reports clarified the child was an actor, but discussion had already taken off.
The show closed with a clear message on screen: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” Soon after, Donald Trump publicly criticized the performance, adding fuel to the debate. Whether praised or criticized, Bad Bunny’s halftime show left a lasting impression and sparked conversation well beyond the game.
