In 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the star of the Super Bowl halftime show was 'Benito', who sang in Spanish rather than English.
According to reports from CBS Sports and Esquire on the 9th (Korean time), the king of Latin pop Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio) presented a historic stage at the Super Bowl LX (60) halftime show held on the 8th at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. He paid tribute to the roots of the genre by performing the classic hit 'Gasolina' by his idol and 'King of Reggaeton' Daddy Yankee.
◆ The Super Bowl Transformed into Puerto Rico
Bad Bunny, who appeared with his last name 'OCASIO' embroidered on the back of a pure white suit, opened with his hit song 'Titi Me Pregunto'. The stage was decorated with a piraguas (shaved ice) stand and tropical plants, perfectly creating a 'miniature Puerto Rico'. The highlight was the reggaeton medley segment. As the legendary tracks from Tego Calderón, Don Omar, and others played, Daddy Yankee's 'Gasolina' filled the stadium, transforming it into a massive club. Although Daddy Yankee himself did not take the stage due to focusing on his faith, Bad Bunny once again etched his mentor's legacy into the hearts of people worldwide.
◆ "Benito is my ally"
In an interview before the performance, Daddy Yankee revealed the reason for his absence, saying, "Right now, I have a different mission (faith)." However, he expressed his support for his junior, stating, "I respect what Benito is doing, and this is a very important moment for the Latin community."
On that day, Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin surprised the audience with performances, while Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, and Cardi B danced with the performers, adding to the festive atmosphere. At the end of the performance, Bad Bunny declared in Spanish, "The reason I stand here is that I never stopped believing in myself," creating an emotional moment as he handed a Grammy trophy to a young boy.
