Bad Bunny Closes Super Bowl LX Halftime Show With Pan-American Message: “Together, We Are America”

Bad Bunny delivered a historic and symbolic finale at the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, closing his performance with a message that redefined the meaning of “America” on one of the world’s most watched stages.

The Puerto Rican global star, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, headlined the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show and became the first artist to perform a predominantly Spanish-language set at the event. His 13-minute performance blended music, choreography and cultural symbolism, drawing heavily from Latin and Caribbean identity while maintaining a universal theme of unity.

As the performance reached its closing moments, Bad Bunny spoke his only extended English words of the night, saying “God bless America,” before expanding the phrase beyond a single nation. He proceeded to name dozens of countries across the Americas, moving from South America through Central America and the Caribbean, and up to North America. Countries mentioned included Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Cuba, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, the United States and Canada, ending with a direct reference to his homeland, Puerto Rico. As he named each country, dancers entered the field carrying corresponding national flags, visually reinforcing the continental roll call.

Immediately after the sequence, Bad Bunny held up an American football clearly marked with the phrase “Together, We Are America,” which was shown prominently on the stadium screens and broadcast feed. The gesture served as the final image of the halftime show, underscoring a pan-American message that framed “America” as an entire hemisphere rather than a single country.

The closing message was supported by additional visual elements throughout the performance. Stadium screens displayed the phrase “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” echoing themes Bad Bunny has emphasized in recent public appearances, including his Grammy Awards acceptance speech earlier in the year. The halftime show also featured Puerto Rican musical elements, large-scale choreography, and guest appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.

The performance followed Bad Bunny’s recent Grammy success, where his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos made history as the first primarily Spanish-language project to win Album of the Year. At the Super Bowl, he translated that momentum into a global broadcast moment that combined music, identity and symbolism without direct political speech.

By closing the halftime show with a continental roll call and the phrase “Together, We Are America,” Bad Bunny turned the Super Bowl stage into a statement of shared identity across North, Central and South America, marking one of the most culturally expansive finales in the event’s history.
