Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show honors Hispanic and Puerto Rican culture

Lily Hiebert, Staff Writer February 11, 2026
Bad Bunny’s halftime show performance during Super Bowl LX featured countless symbols and stories of Latin American culture. From the beginning of his set, it was clear his show would be interesting. It started with Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, walking through a sugarcane field, which symbolized the economies of many Caribbean countries and the colonization and exploitation of migrant workers in the United States and beyond. His all-white outfit represented the workers in these conditions. While walking through the fields, Bad Bunny walked past and ordered from various street vendors, all of which are real businesses that serve authentic Latin American food.

Somehow, during the nail-biting game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, fans were able to forget their worries when Shakira got up and started shaking her hips.

The iconic Justin Timberlake: To some, a former proponent of “denim on denim” who infamously alleged that he brought “SexyBack,” and to others, a past member of the popular mid-90s boy band ‘N Sync.Yet to another portion of the population, he will forever be remembered as giving a Super Bowl performance that afflicted viewers with acute narcolepsy.
