Bad Bunny transformed the Super Bowl LX halftime show on Sunday (Feb. 8) into a joyous celebration of identity, history and unity, stitching together his Puerto Rican roots with broader themes that resonate across the Americas.
From the opening scene of sugar cane fields — a nod to the island’s colonial past — to the portrayal of the now-iconic Casita, the Puerto Rican superstar paid homage to the resilience and struggles of his homeland. Tributes to barber shops, domino tables, piraguas vendors and Nuyorican pride brought to life the everyday traditions and essence of Caribbean culture.
Much of the symbolism ran deep: “El Apagón” spotlighted Puerto Rico’s ongoing power grid struggles and displacement (more on that below) while a shout-out to every nation in the Americas emphasized a powerful message of connectedness.
Amid heartfelt moments such as the Grammy handoff to a young boy dressed as a young Benito and an actual wedding that took place on stage, the hitmaker proved that his halftime show was about much more than entertainment but a celebration of heritage, community and perseverance.
Already ranked as one of the most watched halftime performances in Super Bowl history, Bad Bunny’s show delivered impact far beyond entertainment
More than a 13-minute medley spanning through all of his hits, his performance was a carefully curated display of cultural pride. As the night culminated with his “Together We Are America” message appropriately emblazoned on his football, El Conejo Malo showed the world that halftime shows can be more than extravagant.
Let’s dive into the references and moments you might have missed.

}Bad Bunny kicked off his groundbreaking Super Bowl halftime show with an Afro-Latino guitarist wearing a pava (straw) hat, declarating: “Qué rico es ser latino” (or “How wonderful it is to be Latino”). Played by Alexander Mercedes, a young Dominican singer from La Romana, he performed a tribute to legend Anthony Santos’ “Hoy Se Bebe” atop a bachata melody, filmed in a cane field in the Dominican Republic. It’s also the song that introduces “Tití Me Preguntó” — produced by MAG, who’s of Dominican and Puerto Rican descent.

}As “Tití Me Preguntó” plays, the audience is introduced to a scene of sugar cane fields, with farmers chopping stalks — a nod to Puerto Rico’s colonial history. Sugar production has shaped the island’s past since the 1500s, when Taínos — the island’s indigenous people — were forced into labor by Spanish colonizers. After their near extinction due to exploitation, enslaved Africans were brought in to continue cultivating crops for trade abroad. Even after slavery ended, sugar remained central to Puerto Rico’s economy, accounting for nearly half of its agricultural production as late as 1964.
The symbolic imagery reminded viewers of the island’s painful legacy, but the moment wasn’t all serious. Fans chuckled when they realized some of the greenery wasn’t props — it was 380 performers dressed as blades of grass. A clever workaround, this gave jobs to people while adhering to NFL rules limiting field carts to protect the playing surface.

}Beyond what songs he’d perform, one of the most talked about things was what he would wear. While many expected to see him sporting his pava (straw) hat, Bad Bunny instead took the stage in a cream-white jersey with “Ocasio” across the back and the number 64. Fans instantly wondered what the jersey symbolized and what it meant to him — and the answer was far more personal than anyone anticipated.
“1964 is the year my uncle Cutito was born, my mother’s brother,” he said in a statement shared with Rolling Stone. “The little I know about the NFL is thanks to him. He left for the United States at 17 to work and never returned to live in Puerto Rico, although he always visited us in late January or early February and stayed at our house. That was right in the middle of the NFL postseason, so I always watched the games with him. He was a huge fan of the San Francisco 49ers, the team whose home stadium is where this Super Bowl 60 took place, the one in which I performed. My uncle passed away two years ago, shortly after the 49ers lost to Kansas City in the 2024 Super Bowl. I always dreamed of taking my uncle to a Super Bowl and I couldn’t. He left unexpectedly, without warning. So during my Super Bowl Halftime Show, I decided to have him on my shirt: OCASIO, his last name, the same as my mother’s, and his birth year, 64. I dedicated my performance to him before it began. I’m sure he saw it, he was present and he felt proud of his nephew. Now all that’s left is the day the 49ers win another Super Bowl.”

As the superstar collects a gold ring, he passes it to a man who proposes to a woman.

}As the melody shifted, the electrifying rhythm of “El Apagón” (meaning The Blackout) took center stage, highlighting Puerto Rico’s ongoing struggles with its power grid. In a striking visual, backup dancers climbed sparking electricity poles — and Bad Bunny later joined them as the lights flickered intermittently — amplifying the song’s deeply political message.
The song critiques the privatization of Puerto Rico’s energy grid under LUMA Energy, which has led to widespread instability and frequent blackouts, and underscores the lingering impact of Hurricane Maria. Beyond unreliable electricity, the song also highlights the displacement of Puerto Rican residents, many of whom have been pushed out due to rising costs driven by predatory corporate interests.
With sparks flying and lighting effects mimicking the island’s blackouts, Bad Bunny used the highly watched halftime show to bring awareness to Puerto Rico’s socioeconomic issues.
