Bad Bunny just turned the Super Bowl halftime show into the party of the year. From the first beat of ‘Tití Me Preguntó’ to an unforgettable dance with Lady Gaga, Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium was full of surprises, star power, and nonstop energy.
The Puerto Rican superstar opened the show with one of his biggest hits and made it clear what the night was all about. “You are listening to music from Puerto Rico,” he told the crowd. Every song, every move, every detail paid tribute to his heritage and brought a piece of the island to the biggest stage in sports.
A central part of the show was the Casita, the mini house that fans know from his Puerto Rico residency. Inside, celebrity friends including Cardi B, Karol G, Pedro Pascal, and David Grutman cheered, danced, and celebrated alongside him. The energy was electric, like a private party broadcast to millions.
