This weekend’s Super Bowl LX halftime show is now history: Bad Bunny became the first Latin artist to perform a halftime show almost entirely in Spanish, with a performance full of symbolism, Puerto Rican pride and direct political messages.

In addition to lighting up Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, the Puerto Rican artist set global streaming records: after the show, his set became the most played playlist on Apple Music and several songs entered the global Top 10.

In this post, we review the songs that were played, the surprise guests, the background to the show… and how you can sing along to the entire repertoire in karaoke version.

🎵 Halftime show setlist: the songs that rocked the stadium

According to the official Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show list, these were the songs in the set (in abbreviated versions and mixed together):

  1. “Tití Me Preguntó”

  2. “Yo Perreo Sola”

  3. “Safaera”

  4. “Party” (referenced within the medley)

  5. “Voy a Llevarte Pa’ PR”

  6. “EoO” (with nods to reggaeton classics such as “Gasolina, “Dale Don Dale,” and “Pa’ Que Retozen”)

  7. “Mónaco”

  8. “Die With a Smile” – performed by Lady Gaga in a salsa version during a royal wedding on stage

  9. “Baile Inolvidable”

  10. “Nuevayol”

  11. “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii” – alongside Ricky Martin, in a very emotional acoustic version

  12. “El Apagón”

  13. “Café con Ron” – with the plena group Los Pleneros de la Cresta

  14. “DTMF” (the show’s final climax, which then shot to No. 1 on Apple Music)

Conceptually, the set was a journey through Bad Bunny’s recent universe (Un Verano Sin Ti, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana and Debí Tirar Más Fotos), mixing classic reggaeton, Latin trap, plena, salsa and global pop.

🌟 Star guests: Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin and luxury cameos

The halftime show wasn’t just a Bad Bunny show: it was also a parade of stars and moments designed to go viral.

Lady Gaga: salsa, wedding and “Die With a Smile”

In one of the most talked-about moments, Lady Gaga appeared in a flamenco/Caribbean dress to perform a salsa version of “Die With a Smile, while a couple got legally married on centre stage.

  • Karaoke “Die With a Smile” 

  • Possible salsa/Latin pop version inspired by the halftime show, ideal for setting yourself apart from other channels.

Ricky Martin: “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii” and a tsunami of emotions

The most emotional moment came with Ricky Martin, performing “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii” alongside Bad Bunny, surrounded by Puerto Rican flags and dancers wearing traditional hats. He himself described it as “a tsunami of emotions”.

  • “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii” (ballad with a political and emotional message).

Cameos and party energy

In addition to the musical heavyweights, the stage was filled with familiar faces such as Pedro Pascal, celebrities invited to the “house party” that was staged, reinforcing the idea of community and celebration.

🇵🇷 The backdrop to the show: Puerto Rico, politics and a clear message

Beyond the songs, the halftime show was a carefully calculated political and cultural statement:

  • The show opened with a set reminiscent of sugar cane fields, connecting with Puerto Rico’s colonial history and economic exploitation.

  • During “El Apagón”, dancers climbed sparkling lampposts, an explicit reference to the energy crisis and the controversy surrounding LUMA, the island’s electricity company.

  • Bad Bunny waved a light blue Puerto Rican flag, associated with independence movements.

  • The screens displayed the message: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love, ending with “Together, we are America” as countries from across the continent were listed.

In terms of narrative, it was a show about:

  • Latino and Puerto Rican identity

  • Social criticism and neighbourhood pride

  • Continental unity in the face of hate speech

And all of it sung almost entirely in Spanish, something totally historic for an audience of more than 130 million people.
