"Bad Bunny returned to the Super Bowl Halftime Show stage for his second time (after appearing as a guest during Shakira and Jennifer Lopez's 2020 Halftime Show) but first as a headliner, and his performance was colorful, powerful, and eventful. It was an ode to Puerto Rico and Puerto Rican culture, with fields of sugarcane, men playing dominoes, a piragua stand, a giant coqui on screen, and more."
"Part of the show was staged as a wedding, and Bad Bunny presented one of his Grammy awards to a young boy that many people on social media are saying was a reference to Liam Ramos, the five-year-old who was detained by ICE last month. The show ended with Bad Bunny saying God Bless America and naming all the countries in America, with the only thing more powerful than hate is love on the screen behind him."
"Bad Bunny previously said he would refrain from playing concerts in the United States because ICE could be outside [my concert], and last week he spoke out against ICE during his Grammy acceptance speeches, saying, We're not savage, we're not animals, we are humans, and we are AmericansThe only thing more powerful than hate is love.

Bad Bunny headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show with a vibrant, Puerto Rico‑focused production featuring fields of sugarcane, domino games, a piragua stand, and a giant coqui on screen. The performance included surprise appearances by Lady Gaga (a salsa version of "Die With A Smile"), Ricky Martin (singing "Lo Que Le Paso a Hawaii"), Cardi B, Karol G, Young Miko, Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, and Tonita. Part of the set was staged as a wedding. Bad Bunny presented a Grammy to a young boy many viewers linked to Liam Ramos, a five‑year‑old detained by ICE. He invoked immigration concerns, closed with "God Bless America," named countries in America, displayed "the only thing more powerful than hate is love," and spiked a football labeled "together we are America."
