Bad Bunny: 56 iconic and hot moments that broke the internet

Bad Bunny is making history once again as the first Latino to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show by himself — a huge step forward for Latine representation that follows his guest appearance in the 2020 set coheadlined by Shakira and Jennifer Lopez.

Born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio in Puerto Rico, this global superstar is 31 years old and has already solidified himself not only as a legend in the music industry, but also as a groundbreaking artist who has established a new blueprint for Spanish-language music to be successful in the U.S.

Between numerous achievements throughout 2025, snatching quite a few trophies at the 68th Grammy Awards, and headlining the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show sponsored by Apple Music, the future is looking bright for Bad Bunny.

Bad Bunny's sixth album Debí Tirar Más Fotos won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. As a result, it became the first Spanish-language album of all time to win in that category.

The reggaetonero also won Best Música Urbana Album for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, whereas "EoO" won the award for Best Global Musical Performance.

Going into his Halftime Show performance, Bad Bunny has won a total of six Grammys now.

Looking past his various achievements over the years, it's easy to feel excited about the Bad Bunny's growth in 2026 and beyond.

The best part? Bad Bunny shows how grateful he feels for this critical and commercial success by being of service to Puerto Ricans, and to all Latinos, and to all immigrants — despite him not being an immigrant himself. While conservatives struggle to understand the differences between those identifiers and attack Bad Bunny for headlining this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show, the pop star embraces even his haters with open arms.

"Bad Bunny pulling that big bear energy face."

Are we getting a Big Bear alter-ego from Bad Bunny? Stay tuned.

For months now, the gays have been obsessed with this hip-thrusting moment from Bad Bunny during his residency in Puerto Rico.

He's got plenty of moves, and we're eagerly anticipating his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, to say the least.

This is too important of a Bad Bunny moment for us to just show through one angle. That wouldn't be fair, and it wouldn't feel right.

So, here is another angle from this very important moment in pop culture.

As seen in this older concert video from 2021, Bad Bunny isn't new to grinding and "dwerking" on stage.

The man loves to dance, and fans love to see it.

Ah, the photos of Bad Bunny sunbathing in the backyard while obeying social-distancing protocol in the 2020 lockdown! You just had to be there…

…not literally, because that year was rough. But metaphorically, as the girls, gays, and theys lost their damn minds over these pictures shared on X/Twitter.

The sunbathing photos were posted around the time when Bad Bunny graced the cover of Rolling Stone and discussed his experiences during lockdown.

"How does a Latin-pop superstar spend lockdown? Hanging out with his girlfriend, watching Toy Story, and surprising the world," the cover story's official description read.

Remember when Bad Bunny kiki'd with a male fan on stage and the fan clearly got very excited about the moment?

We would've gotten even more disoriented. Nothing to blame here.

Four Bad Bunnies… Can you imagine?

Anyway, moving on!

The Glambot has a new king:

Bad Bunny.

In this X post, Bad Bunny is quoted discussing the fact that he's not a professional dancer, but was still passionate about dancing anyway, and even enrolled in dancing classes during the lockdown.

Not that many people read the caption due to the distracting picture, which is why we're making sure to mention it.

Even though he always has good intentions and commits to his craft, Bad Bunny is not Violet Chachki — let's just say that!

In an Instagram Story, Bad Bunny shared a vulnerable moment of him trying to wear a corset. "I can't breathe…" he wrote over the picture.

When Bad Bunny suggests that the two of you should dance, you absolutely get rid of whatever question cards you were holding. They don't matter anymore.

We are all Scott Evans in this moment.

Bad Bunny got in full drag for the "Yo Perreo Sola" music video, and the fantasy was mighty real.

In all seriousness, "Yo Perreo Sola" (which translates to "I twerk by myself") was a call-to-action for Bad Bunny's peers — other high-profile reggaetoneros and Latino artists within música urbana — to evolve and move past having so many lyrics and themes that still just reflect misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia.

In case you didn't know, Bad Bunny's Album of the Year win at the 2026 Grammys sent his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, straight up to the No. 1 spot in China on Apple Music.

The entire world loves Benito. Being a Bad Bunny hater must be really sad.

A close-up selfie worth appreciating.

Bonus point for all the necklaces, piercings, and earrings.

Two of the biggest winners at the 2026 Grammy Awards were Bad Bunny (Album of the Year) and Olivia Dean (Best New Artist). Both of them delivered personal and emotional speeches advocating for immigrants, too.

Even a week after the Grammys, Dean is still getting those streaming boosts just like Bad Bunny. We stan these icons!

Bad Bunny took this mirror selfie around the time he filmed the Calvin Klein campaign that broke the internet.

It's wild to grasp the concept of a mirror selfie going just as viral as the CK campaign itself, but here we are.

It's a lot for a mirror selfie to go that viral, particularly given that this man already looked that good in the actual Calvin Klein campaign.

But, hey, that's the power of Bad Bunny.

Bad Bunny had a landmark year following the release of Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and certain milestones were only reached very recently, which is insane.

It wasn't until 2026 that Bad Bunny won Album of the Year at the Grammys and was named the Greatest Pop Star of 2025 by Billboard.

Is that an angel coming down from the sky?

Maybe so.

"Bad Bunny looks handsome in his Tuesday selfies on Instagram."

Period!!!

This is one of the most iconic (thirsty) mirror selfies of all time.

It's mostly just a silhouette, but the thirst for Bad Bunny is powerful.

Wake up, babes.

That's the man sleeping right next to you. You've gotta wake up. C'mon, now.

The Bad Bunny effect.

Wild, isn't it?

One of our favorite things about Bad Bunny is that his "muggy" face looks like he's just kind of bored.

Reinventing modeling. Truly remarkable.

Category is: Cover star realness.

Bad Bunny was still in the early days of his career. Nonetheless, in 2018, The Fader could already see the vision.

Most fans don't remember the context surrounding this picture that Bad Bunny shared on X (formerly Twitter).

But does that even matter? Honestly, we don't think so, honey.

Bad Bunny featured on Playboy magazine was pretty wild, too.

And we loved to see it.

Planking found dead.

This is so much better for so many reasons. Which reasons, you ask? Just look at it. You'll figure it out.

Bad Bunny has released six studio albums in 10 years.

In those same 10 years, he's won six Grammy Awards. That's a certified legendary legend.

Bad Bunny was giving Fast and Furious energy in that Interview magazine feature, wasn't he?

We'd watch that any day!

One thing about Bad Bunny?

The man loves to manspread.

The arms, the tats, the face.

We've never seen a bunny look that good.

It's worth noting that Bad Bunny's social media output isn't just an endless flood of thirst traps. In fact, he shares silly photos like this more often than anything else.

He still looks adorable, anyway.

In 2023 — three years after that sunbathing during lockdown story — Bad Bunny was once again featured as a Rolling Stone cover star, this time to discuss his historic Coachella performance.

Three years later, he's making history yet again as the headliner of the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Benito looks great in a cropped top.

Just in case you were wondering.

A few months ago, Bad Bunny was named one of Vogue's Best Dressed People of 2025 and was featured in a digital cover.

Would you give this man a ride if you saw him looking for a ride?

Not exactly sure what Bad Bunny is looking at.

However, if the aliens are coming, please let them know that we're ready to volunteer as tributes.

The close-up to outdo all other close-ups.

10/10 skin, no notes.

He may be on the cover of magazines, starring in huge Hollywood films, appearing on late-night comedy shows on TV, and headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show…

…but nothing will ever stop Bad Bunny from just waking up one day and deciding to post a mirror selfie for whatever reason. We thank him for that.

Those sillier and more casual selfies aren't all thirst traps, either.

This one, which comes across as geeky, is also beloved by fans.

Bad Bunny's cover story on The Cut centered on how the global superstar lives his day to day life in Puerto Rico.

One thing is clear: Contrasting the Hollywood spectacle of it all with a low-key routine in PR certainly helps him.

Looking like he's mad — very mad — at someone.

But also looking way too good for anyone to run away from that handsome face.

Numerous celebrities shared Bad Bunny's quotes in support of immigrants while accepting his awards at the 2026 Grammys.

One of those celebrities was Pedro Pascal. God-tier bromance.

"Blue jeans, white shirt…"

Lana Del Rey had Bad Bunny's number when she wrote that song. People assume it was about James Dean, but it was actually about Bad Bunny. We don't have sources to back up that argument, but we have visuals to show what we're talking about, and that's gotta count for something.

Bad Bunny has a lot of pictures eating cereal. Sometimes in photo shoots, sometimes just casual pictures from home.

Also, do you ever open your fridge just to think? (That's actually a thing! We swear.)

We won't name any names, but plenty of gays would go full Saltburn on that bathwater.

Sorry to expose this huge secret, but it's true, and someone had to say it.

An X post comparing how Bad Bunny looked during his first album (X 100pre) and his most recent album (Debí Tirar Más Fotos) went viral.

A video of Bad Bunny living his best life dancing in front of a mirror — not looking that young, nor that muscular/lean — was shared in response, and it settled the debate: Yes, he looks good in any era.

This Bad Bunny face card edit is further evidence of how good he looked in every era.

It's not up for debate.

Hands in his pants? For what?

Then again, why not?

One of Bad Bunny's latest cover stories is on Newsweek, and it is tied to his headlining performance at the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Benito also looks great dressed like a football player. (He's not great in sports, though, and he's the first one to admit it.)

Swimming in a pool with Bad Bunny sounds lovely for people experiencing this brutal winter season in the U.S.

Count us in.

Bad Bunny's entrance in this WWE event in Puerto Rico was huge for wrestling fans.

The gays do love wrestling, sometimes, for some reasons.

Legs for days.

We will never get over that Calvin Klein campaign. In fact, we'd love to see another one.
