Bad Bunny brought Puerto Rico to Super Bowl LX!
On Sunday night, the 31-year-old debuted his “La Casita” on the world’s biggest stage.
Fans will know this is his famous stage setup from his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour, and he brought it along to share with the world. The entire field was covered in plants and props — like a sugar cane field and more to pay homage to his homeland. And that was only the beginning!

The first song he played is Tití Me Preguntó while his friends danced in the little house and in the yard out front. Notable guests in his house included his pals Cardi B, Karol G, Jessica Alba, Young Miko, David Grutman, Alix Earle, and Pedro Pascal!
See his intro (below):
Pulling a play from his world tour, he jumped on the roof of the house-stage and switched into his hit song — and then fell through the roof of his little house! We got a teaser of Daddy Yankee‘s Gasolina before the medley switched to a medley of the rapper’s songs Yo Perreo Sola, EoO, VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR, and MONACO.
He jumped up on a little white truck to do part of his performance! Look at these dancers, y’all!
Fans got the surprise of a lifetime when Lady GaGa showed up, singing a salsa remix of Die With A Smile — which she sang for a REAL wedding happening live onstage! Yes, REAL!
The two of them even danced to BAILE INoLVIDABLE. So cute after their recent interaction at the Grammys!
The singer, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio went to another part of the set where a family was shown watching a small TV that was playing his recent Grammys acceptance speech. In an adorable moment, he walked over and gave his Grammy award to the little boy in the family. Benito has always been outspoken about wanting to protect and support the next generation, and this scene really showed his passion.
But what made this SO special? The boy was Liam Ramos. The little boy detained by ICE and only released a few days ago. What. A. Statement!
Aww…

He also played fan favorites NUYEVAYoL, El Apagón, and CAFÉ CON RON. He and his dancers did some incredible choreography while he stood on top of a truck. Then he gave a BIG shout-out to the working class and the immigrants who continue making this country as beautiful as it is by having an entire set showcase electricians. He even climbed up on one of the poles himself to perform at the very top!
Lady GaGa wasn’t his only guest, though. Benito welcomed the legendary Ricky Martin — someone who he’s always been a HUGE fan of — to sing LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii with him!
A notable part of his performance was also his stint of songs in front of a small corner store, which had a big flashing sign that said “We accept EBT” on it.
In a small intermission of his song performances, he notably shouted “God Bless America!” and put his recent quote on the big screen:
“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
Speak on it!
He even held up a football that said “together, we are America”. The singer delivered a very powerful statement in Spanish, saying “be it Chile, Argentina,” and continued naming Latin American countries, making it clear we ALL are American. He ended his list with “my motherland Puerto Rico” before spiking a football and declaring:
“We’re still here!”
The end of the show was a pivotal moment, where he walked through the crowd with his crew, who were all holding flags of different Latin American countries as he called for love and no hate. He exited the stage singing DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS — arguably the most emotional song from his album — while dancing with his group. How touching!
Wow. Just wow. What a show!
See some reactions from social media (below):
“BEST HALFTIME SHOW OF ALL TIME. BEST SETLIST OF ALL TIME.”

“I AM NOT OKAY”
