In Bad Bunny's world, everyone is invited to the party.
As expected, Bad Bunny delivered a high-energy, colorful, and all-around inclusive performance at the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show that underscored the real dynamics of the American Dream: People of different backgrounds and life experiences coming together for progress, unity, freedom, and respect, all in pursuit of happiness and having a chance to succeed in life if they work hard enough.
Within the context of 2026, however, Bad Bunny's dreamy and all-inclusive vision of what America could be feels like a nightmare for anti-DEI bigots. They're absolutely spiraling right now, and we love to see it.

Bad Bunny opened the Halftime Show performance with "Tití Me Preguntó" — a fan-favorite track among queer Bad Bunny stans who have to constantly dodge questions about their dating lives — and served some spicy moves when singing "Yo Perreo Sola" — the club banger that, upon release, was accompanied by a music video featuring Bad Bunny in drag.
After entering a field and emerging on the other side, a crowd of people opened up to reveal none other than Lady Gaga singing "Die With a Smile" with an all-new arrangement.
The halfway point of Bad Bunny's Halftime Show included an explosive performance of "NUEVAYoL" that had everyone dancing and kiki-ing.
It was then revealed that a second special guest had joined Bad Bunny for this historic performance: Ricky Martin, who looks better and better with each passing year, and graced us with his amazing vocals while singing Bad Bunny's fan-favorite track "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii."
For the record, Gaga and Martin were the two special guests who joined Bad Bunny as featured singers. However, there were actually other celebrities hiding in plain sight during the performance.
As seen in the Rolling Stone post below, celebrities like Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Karol G, Jessica Alba, and Alix Earle were also present for the performance.
From the moment Bad Bunny was chosen to headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, the Puerto Rican superstar became an immediate target of conservatives who criticized his Spanish-language discography, doubted his success as a musician, and questioned his sexuality — nicknaming the Halftime Show as "Woke Bowl."
As Bad Bunny is known to do, he created art as a response to those bigoted views, and it was incredible to see Gaga and Martin joining him in support.
The final song in this Halftime Show was the title track of his Grammy Award-winning sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and it all felt like the ultimate victory lap for Bad Bunny.
As the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show reached its conclusion, Bad Bunny and his team of performers held up flags from numerous different countries.
Bad Bunny also shouted out various countries in Latin America — yet again making the point that, standing together as a Latine community, we can be much stronger in the fight against bigotry.
"Lo único más poderoso que el odio, es el amor," the caption of the official NFL post about the Halftime Show performance reads. That translates to: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love."
More information about the performance and different visuals from this Halftime Show are coming soon, so make sure to stay tuned on Out.
