Super Bowl LX, held on February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, delivered one of the most talked-about halftime performances in history — a vibrant cultural celebration led by Bad Bunny, the global superstar known for his deep Puerto Rican roots, genre-blending music, and bold artistic statements.
A Halftime Show With Heart and Culture
Bad Bunny’s Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show wasn’t just another performance — it was a cultural milestone. He became the first Latino solo artist to headline the halftime show and delivered almost the entire set in Spanish, showcasing his heritage and spotlighting reggaetón and Puerto Rican culture on one of the world’s biggest entertainment stages.
Fans and critics alike saw the show as a historic cultural moment, celebrating diversity and unity through music, dance, and storytelling. Puerto Ricans across the island even paused their viewing to honor the performance, which resonated emotionally with millions watching at home and abroad.
A Real Wedding on the Super Bowl Stage
One of the most unforgettable and heart-warming moments of the show was a real wedding ceremony that took place onstage during Bad Bunny’s performance. A couple dressed in wedding attire exchanged vows and were married in front of tens of thousands of fans. A Sacramento pastor officiated the ceremony, and Bad Bunny even served as a witness, signing the couple’s marriage certificate before returning to his stage performance.
The wedding was seamlessly integrated into the halftime show’s choreography and musical flow, featuring Bad Bunny performing hits like “Baile Inolvidable” with guest appearances including Lady Gaga. This unique blend of personal storytelling and entertainment helped make the show feel intimate and inclusive despite its massive scale.
Style With Meaning: The Ocasio 64 Look
Bad Bunny’s halftime style also made headlines. Ditching traditional high-fashion designers, he chose a custom Zara ensemble — a cream monochromatic outfit featuring an “Ocasio 64” jersey that paid tribute to his mother’s last name and birth year, blending personal history with cultural symbolism.
Styled by his longtime collaborators, the look included signature adidas BadBo 1.0 sneakers and transitioned mid-show into a tailored blazer for a salsa-inspired performance segment. The fashion choice emphasized accessibility, identity, and pride — making a statement that resonated well beyond the performance itself.
Broad Reactions and Cultural Impact
Bad Bunny’s halftime show ignited conversation across the cultural landscape:
Praise and celebration poured in from fans and cultural commentators who saw the performance as a powerful representation of Latino pride and musical innovation.
Political commentary and backlash also surfaced, including criticism from former political figures who found the Spanish-language performance controversial.
Alternative halftime performances hosted by outside groups gained minimal traction compared to Bad Bunny’s show, underscoring the global impact of his set. Across social media and news cycles, the halftime show sparked discussions about representation, language, and the evolving role of music in global cultural events — all while millions watched the Seattle Seahawks defeat the New England Patriots 29-13 in the game itself.
