Fresh off of making history at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards®, where DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS became the first fully Spanish-language album to win Album of the Year and the first body of work to earn Album of the Year honours at both the Grammys and the Latin Grammy Awards®, global phenomenon Bad Bunny continued an unprecedented run of record-breaking milestones with a historic performance on the world’s biggest stage at the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. As the first Latin male artist to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and the first artist to win Grammy Album of the Year and take the Super Bowl stage within the same week, the moment marked not only a once-in-a-lifetime career milestone for Bad Bunny but a defining cultural moment for the Latin community and the global music industry.

The 13-minute performance unfolded as a cinematic journey that began with an intro in Spanish set among sugar cane fields, before transitioning into the live show on the football field. Designed to echo the same landscape, the field was transformed into an immersive environment inspired by Puerto Rico’s countryside. The live performance opened with Bad Bunny holding a football as he crossed the field, singing “Tití Me Preguntó” against a backdrop inspired by sugar cane fields, an homage to Latino labor, heritage and the generations who laid the groundwork before him. As he moved forward, the field came alive with scenes of everyday Latino life: small businesses and trades represented through lived environments, including a nail salon, a taco stand, a barber, a piragua vendor reminiscent of Old San Juan and boxers Xander Zayas and Emiliano Vargas training, grounding the spectacle in real experience.
