Grammy Award-winning artist Bad Bunny stole the spotlight during halftime, filling Levi’s Stadium with energy and cultural resonance. His performance marked the first halftime show in Super Bowl history to be performed predominantly in Spanish, underscoring how the production connected with players and fans who grew up listening to similar styles of music.
Bad Bunny’s set blended his biggest hits with homages to Latin American identity and featured cameos from Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin and other prominent Latino figures in entertainment.

Baker was among the many athletes and celebrities who reacted positively to the performance, praising the show despite the language barrier.
That appreciation aligned with the broader national response, as the halftime show highlighted the intersection of sports and culture. Baker’s reaction reflected how football and pop culture converge at their highest moments — proving that even without understanding every word, the experience can still resonate.
As another NFL season comes to a close and conversations around the halftime show continue, it’s clear that this year’s Super Bowl left a lasting impression.
