(FOX 5/KUSI) — Benito fans everywhere have spent weeks ruminating over which songs Bad Bunny would choose to play and who, if anyone, he would bring out during his Super Bowl LX halftime show in Santa Clara.
The setlist
Some predicted he’d open the show with one of his more politically charged tracks like “El Apagon” or “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii” to make a statement, but instead the Puerto Rican superstar opened with his hit “Tití Me Preguntó” which captures the essence of being single at a family event.
The superstar then transitioned into another hit song, “Yo Perreo Sola” — which describes an independent woman who prefers to dance on her own with a deeper meaning about women’s autonomy.
Here’s a list of the other songs Bad Bunny performed at the halftime show:
- “Tití Me Preguntó”
- “Yo Perreo Sola”
- “Safaera”
- “Party”
- ‘Voy a Llevarte Pa PR”
- “EoO”
- “Monaco”
- “Baile Inolvidable”
- “Nuevayol”
- “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii”
- “El Apagón”
- “Café Con Ron”
- “DTMF”
The stage
The “stage” at the Super Bowl was comprised of elements from Bad Bunny’s recent expansive 30-show residency in Puerto Rico, like the pink casita, tall grasses and greenery and Puerto Rican pava hats, but also slight nods to Latin culture as whole.
At the beginning of the show, Bad Bunny danced and sang his way through tall shrubs of grass while stopping by a coconut stand, a dominoes table, a taco stand and a wedding that’s gone on so long the children have fallen asleep on chairs — all synonymous with growing up in Latino culture.
Bad Bunny’s pride for Puerto Rico could be felt throughout his performance, something that he has never been shy to express before. At one point he tells the camera in Spanish, “The reason I’m here is because I never stopped believing in myself.”
His most recent album, “Debí tirar más fotos” took home Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammy awards.
His performance also emphasized a theme of unity, ending his performance with a message of “God bless America” as a tribe of flags followed behind him and he read off the names of countries like Chile, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Canada, Argentina, Peru, Costa Rica and Cuba.
In the background a sign displayed, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
The football Bad Bunny had been tightly holding to his chest was then raised in the air to display the message “Together, we are America” as he said, “We’re still here.”
The guests
Other fan predictions included which artists, if any at all, the 31-year-old reggeaton singer would bring out to share the stage with him.
To the surprise of many, it was Lady Gaga who joined Benito on stage in a traditional blue Puerto Rican costume dress during the halftime show first.
She performed “Die With a Smile” ending with a dance to “Baile Inolvidable” with Benito at a faux wedding before making her way off stage.
Ricky Martin also made a susprise appearance, singing a snippet of the song “Lo Que Le Paso a Hawaii” which describes the effects of imperialism in Hawaii in comparison to the future of Puerto Rico.
