Bad Bunny Dances in Super Bowl Halftime Show Teaser

Bad Bunny’s official Super Bowl trailer highlights his role as the first solo male Latino headliner and features diverse dance scenes to build excitement.

  • On January 16, 2026, Bad Bunny and Apple Music released a social-media trailer for the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, promising `On February 8, the world will dance` at Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, California.
  • Bad Bunny said on X he would do just one U.S. date, making his only U.S. appearance at the Super Bowl after avoiding U.S. tour stops due to concerns about ICE and following a record-setting Puerto Rico residency and world tour.
  • Filmed in Puerto Rico, the teaser starts with a Flamboyant tree and an iPhone cue as Benito dances with dancers of varied ages, races and styles, matching their moves including a cowboy dip.
  • This booking marks the Super Bowl's first solo male Latino headliner, sparking backlash from President Donald Trump who called it `ridiculous` and Turning Point's English-only plans, while Leila Cobo argued it isn't inherently political.
  • Commercial numbers from the tour underscore why the Super Bowl spot matters, with $107 million gross from 697,000 tickets in the first 12 shows, bolstering his global profile.
