·      Bad Bunny brought a full Super Bowl-level production to the halftime show, and it didn’t feel like a typical quick medley. It felt like a full cultural moment from start to finish.

·      He opened with “Tití Me Preguntó,” and right away the field turned into scenes celebrating Puerto Rican culture, with visuals that looked like everyday island life and neighborhood energy.

·      The setlist kept the momentum going with hits like “Yo Perreo Sola” and the crowd got even more hyped when samples of Don Omar’s “Dale Don Dale” and Daddy Yankee’s “Gasolina” hit.

·      Then the entire performance shifted tone. Violinists introduced “Monaco,” and suddenly the show went from party to emotional in seconds.

·      Bad Bunny gave a speech in Spanish telling viewers, “Tú también nunca dejes de creer en ti,” which translates to “You should also never stop believing in yourself.”

·      The cameos were stacked. Karol G, Jessica Alba, Pedro Pascal, and Cardi B all appeared, keeping people guessing the whole time.

·      One of the wildest details was that a real wedding ceremony took place during the halftime show, which is one of those sentences you have to read twice.

·      The biggest surprise was Lady Gaga showing up to sing a salsa version of “Die With A Smile,” followed later by Ricky Martin performing “Lo Que Pasó en Hawaii.”

·   Near the end, Bad Bunny leaned into a unity message, holding a football that read “Together We Are America,” while a billboard in the stadium read, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
