Bad Bunny performed on a platform designed to resemble his iconic pink "La Casita." Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Cardi B, Alix Earle, Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, and others joined him on stage for the extended performances.

What did Bad Bunny say in Spanish?

The Puerto Rican rapper spoke directly in Spanish from the Levi's Stadium stage, conveying themes of unity, culture and joy through his set.

Bad Bunny started his end-of-performance by saying “God Bless America” in English and then continued, "be it Chile, Argentina" and other Spanish-speaking countries around the world.

He added “United States, Canada” in English and then proceeded to close his performance in both English and Spanish with “my motherland, Puerto Rico.”

A huge television screen behind him said, "The Only Thing More Powerful Than Hate is Love." He held up a football embalzoned with the phrase “Together We Are America" and said the same in Spanish, “Juntos somos América.”

He also showcased flags of Spanish-speaking countries during the finale.

Expectations of political performance

Bad Bunny's political stance and his vocal nature of speaking out about his dissatisfaction with the Trump administration's immigration policies gave the impression to his fans that his Super Bowl halftime performance would be more politicized than any previous ones.

Much of the pre-game narrative around Bad Bunny’s appearance revolved around language, identity and politics, especially after conservative backlash over a Spanish-language headliner.

However, during the performance, Bad Bunny steered clear of any pointed commentary about politics.
