The show was steeped in the tradition of Latin America and especially his native Puerto Rico, as the elaborate set included a mock sugar-cane field and a Puerto Rico vecindad, with a barber shop, liquor store, and the iconic “casita,” the small house where Bad Bunny welcomed celebrity guests during his Puerto Rico concert residency last summer (previewed in Variety‘s June 2025 Bad Bunny cover story).

I recognized a lot from Puerto Rico.

On Sunday night, Karol G, Cardi B Young, Miko Jessica Alba and Pedro Pascal were spotted dancing under the casita’s roof as the performance moved through the field to the vecindad and casita to a giant dancefloor filled with exuberant dancers

I didn't have my eyes glued to the set and missed the dancing celebs.

— and an actual wedding, his rep confirms.

Saw the wedding, didn't know it was real.

The performance was so loaded with Easter eggs and subtle political references that his fans will be decoding it for weeks.

I'll have to look for analyses.

... Behind him, a billboard flashed in giant letters: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” likely a direct rebuke to the negative comments — many of them racist — that he received before he’d even set foot on stage. Many moments and elements in the show could also be perceived as a rebuke to the Trump administration and its brutal anti-immigration policies.

I didn't recognize that's Lady Gaga. I assumed a Puerto Rican star who I could look up later.

... In perhaps the performance’s most loaded political moment, Bad Bunny’s Grammy acceptance speech last weekend, during which he’d said “ICE out” and gave an impassioned speech in English about racism, was replayed on a small television as a young boy — who certainly resembled Liam, the 5-year-old who was incarcerated by ICE in Minneapolis last month — and then the singer handed him his Grammy Award....

It WAS intentional.



I didn't notice the billboard.

... While Bad Bunny’s performance was an exuberant and deeply coded celebration of Latin American culture, it was also a statement that culture is meant to be shared. Love is stronger than hate, together we are America — and everyone is welcome on the dance floor.

Didn't notice the celebs, definitely noticed the billboard.

Didn't understand a word but you really could feel the joy and good vibes.

Consider all of that style of music you've heard, did you really understand the lyrics even if they were in English?

50/50

I read the English version lyrics. It was better in Spanish. In Spanish it sounded exciting and exotic. In English it would have been pretty awful, like who wrote this claptrap. Performance was great and music was energetic. I don't see me playing him very often if ever, but I enjoyed the show.

I read the English version of 'Tití Me Preguntó and think it's misogynist and obnoxious. I'm sure he has some fine songs but I quit reading with that one.

Bad Bunny: >135 million, a new record for a SB halftime show.

The odds are in on next year’s Super Bowl halftime performer — and there’s a clear favorite
Miley Cyrus is the favorite pick to headline Super Bowl LXI

... Fueling the predictions, gambling company FanDuel released its sportsbook opening odds for the 2027 halftime show, revealing Miley Cyrus to be the most favored artist among betters to receive the headlining spot with +310 odds.

That would be fine with me. Miley is immensely talented and knows how to produce a grand show.

... Behind the former Hannah Montana star, FanDuel’s bets gave rapper Cardi B a good chance at taking the stage with +440 odds.

The Super Bowl stage would be no problem for Cardi B, who already appeared in this year’s star-studded show as one of Bad Bunny’s surprise celebrity guests. Additionally, the rapper has become a familiar presence in the NFL as she is currently dating New England Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs.

Also among the frontrunners for the next halftime performer is Taylor Swift with +490 odds. Swift’s name has been thrown into the mix for the job ever since she began dating her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, in 2023.

Gamblers also placed bets on stars including Lil Wayne, A$AP Rocky, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and Harry Styles.

The NFL typically announces the next Super Bowl halftime show act in September — meaning fans have months to go until they learn if their predictions are correct.
