Just hours after delivering a widely talked-about set at the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, the 31-year-old star wiped his entire Instagram page. The artist, often referred to as the King of Latin Trap, unfollowed every account, deleted all previous posts, and removed his profile photo.

At the moment, his page is completely blank except for a single link in his bio pointing to his 2025 album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

The unexpected digital cleanse comes amid mixed reactions to his halftime show. While many praised Bad Bunny for proudly honouring his Puerto Rican roots on one of the world’s biggest stages, others criticised the performance, with reports of backlash and threats circulating online after Sunday’s event.

Bad Bunny has not publicly addressed the reason behind clearing his Instagram, leaving fans and observers to speculate. As is often the case with major artists, many believe the move could be a signal that a new project or era is on the way.

For now, the silence only adds to the mystery and keeps fans watching closely for what Bad Bunny might be planning next.

While the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots went head-to-head for the Lombardi Trophy on the field at Levi’s Stadium, a quieter but equally intense showdown played out in the luxury suites, sidelines, and VIP sections.

Super Bowl LX, held on Sunday, February 8, 2026, turned Silicon Valley into what felt like the world’s most exclusive red carpet.

From surprise musical moments to A-list power couples, the night delivered star power at every turn.

Who did Bad Bunny perform with at the 2026 Super Bowl?

Fresh off a historic showing at the Grammys, Bad Bunny headlined a high-energy halftime set that proudly celebrated Puerto Rican culture. And he didn’t do it alone.

• Lady Gaga stunned fans by joining the “Tití Me Preguntó” hitmaker for a high-octane duet that instantly had the stadium on its feet.
• Ricky Martin brought pure nostalgia and emotion, bridging generations as he performed “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii” alongside Bad Bunny.
• The surprise crew took the show to another level. Appearances from Cardi B, Karol G, Young Miko, and Jessica Alba turned the 13-minute performance into a mini festival. Actor Pedro Pascal’s unexpected cameo sent social media into meltdown mode.

Offstage, the guest list looked like an awards show nominee sheet. Jay-Z continued his Super Bowl tradition, spotted on the sidelines with his daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter, who were seen posing for photos in the end zone.

Stars spotted in the stands and luxury suites

The VIP sections were stacked with A-listers:

• Adam Sandler was seen enjoying the game from a private suite.
• Justin and Hailey Bieber, a familiar Super Bowl duo, were spotted together in the stands.
• Travis Scott and Brad Pitt were caught chatting pre-game near the field.
• Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton soaked in the atmosphere from the VIP area.
• Daniel Radcliffe and Rob Lowe added a blend of Hollywood and British charm to the night.

Other celebrity sightings included Cardi B (who also appeared on stage with Bad Bunny), Pedro Pascal, 21 Savage, and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Pre-game moments packed with star power

The celebrity energy started long before kickoff. Chris Pratt represented the Seahawks, while Jon Bon Jovi stood in for the Patriots, delivering spirited team introductions that set the tone for the night.

Musical duties were handled by a lineup of heavy hitters:

• Charlie Puth delivered a soulful rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
• Brandi Carlile performed a stripped-back, emotional version of “America the Beautiful.”
• Coco Jones impressed with “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” wearing an outfit inspired by Whitney Houston.
• Green Day rocked the opening ceremony, celebrating the Super Bowl’s 60th anniversary on home turf in the Bay Area.

Honouring football royalty

As the league marked six decades of Super Bowl history, legendary San Francisco 49ers icons Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Jerry Rice took to the field, reminding fans of the Bay Area’s rich football legacy.

They were joined by other NFL greats, including Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Eli Manning, who were present to honour the game’s enduring impact.

From the field to the stands, Super Bowl LX was a perfect blend of sports, music, culture, and celebrity a night that delivered spectacle at every angle.

As expected, the Puerto Rican superstar went all in, using the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show to make history with the first-ever solo Spanish-language performance on the NFL’s biggest stage.

What followed was a bold mix of global hits, Latin pride, surprise appearances, and a clear message centred on love, identity, and inclusion.

There was no gentle warm-up. Bad Bunny burst onto the stage and immediately launched into “Tití Me Preguntó,” throwing the stadium straight into party mode. From there, it was a relentless run of fan favorites, including “Yo Perreo Sola,” “Eoo,” “Monaco,” “Baile Inolvidable,” and “Nuevayol.” The message was clear: this was a Spanish-first performance made for a global audience that already knew every word.

The pacing told its own story. No long speeches. No awkward pauses. Just hit after hit, delivered with confidence and precision.

Even before the first official guest stepped out, the show was already stacked with star power. As the performance began, familiar faces like Jessica Alba, Karol G, Young Miko, Cardi B, and Pedro Pascal appeared, subtly reinforcing the night’s theme, a full-blown celebration of Latin culture across music, film, and pop culture.

The first major surprise came early. Lady Gaga joined Bad Bunny on stage, an unexpected pairing that instantly sent the crowd into a frenzy.

Their moment together leaned heavily into spectacle and theatrical flair, fitting seamlessly into the flow of the performance and earning one of the loudest reactions of the night.

If Gaga brought the shock factor, Ricky Martin delivered the emotional punch.

Bad Bunny welcomed the Puerto Rican legend to the stage for a performance of one of the most defining songs from Debí Tirar Más Fotos. The moment carried weight beyond the music.

Both artists share a history of activism, having previously stood side by side during protests against former Puerto Rican governor Ricardo Rosselló. Seeing them together again, this time on the Super Bowl stage, felt both powerful and symbolic.

Two generations of Puerto Rican stars. One stage. Singing in Spanish. With the world watching.

Midway through the set, the tone shifted. The stage was filled with flags from across Latin America and the wider Americas as Bad Bunny moved from pure entertainment to symbolism.

His message was simple but unmistakable: hate is best answered with love and inclusion. In a year already thick with political tension, the statement felt deliberate and impossible to ignore.

By the time the final note rang out, Bad Bunny had delivered one of the most packed halftime performances in Super Bowl history, blending old favourites with newer material.

His full halftime set included:

• Tití Me Preguntó
• Yo Perreo Sola
• Mía
• Monaco
• Safaera
• I Like It
• The Blackout
• The Move
• Nuevayol
• Baile Inolvidable
• DTMF

History was made, culture was amplified, and a message was sent loud and clear. Bad Bunny didn’t just headline Super Bowl LX. He owned it.

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”

The milestone came during a night where several artists aimed at the Trump administration’s immigration policies, blending music and advocacy on a global stage.

Bad Bunny also claimed the Best Global Music Performance award for his track EoO, prevailing over a diverse group of nominees including Ciro Hurtado, Angélique Kidjo, Yeisy Rojas, Shakti, and Anoushka Shankar. The accolade highlighted the song’s international appeal and Bad Bunny’s ever-evolving musical style.

The 31-year-old musician’s sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Mas Fotos, earned the night’s top honour, besting heavyweight competitors Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar.

The album, a deeply personal reflection on Puerto Rico’s musical heritage, showcased Bad Bunny’s ability to merge storytelling with cultural commentary.

In his acceptance speech, Bad Bunny dedicated the award to immigrants, paying tribute to those who “leave their home, land, their country, to follow their dreams.” His message resonated with the night’s broader themes of resilience and global solidarity.

As the global music industry closed out 2025 on December 31, Forbes released its highly anticipated year-end ranking of the highest-paid musicians in the world, revealing a combined pre-tax income of nearly $1.9 billion USD among the top earners.

The staggering figure underscored a year of robust growth for the industry, powered largely by blockbuster concert tours, sustained streaming dominance, and increasingly sophisticated catalogue investments.

Live performances emerged as the biggest revenue driver, with artists capitalising on expansive stadium tours, high-demand residencies, and innovative touring models, while streaming and record sales continued to provide steady income for musicians with evergreen catalogues.

The list also reflected growing diversity across the industry, featuring eight female artists among the highest earners and spanning genres from pop, hip-hop, and R&B to country, Latin, and rock. Strategic business moves—particularly partial catalogue sales that preserved creative control—played a major role in boosting artist wealth, highlighting a shift toward sharper, more business-savvy career management.

• The Weeknd Tops the List as World’s Highest-Paid Musician

At the summit of the 2025 rankings sits The Weeknd, who emerged as the highest-paid musician in the world, earning $298 million USD pre-tax. His earnings were anchored by the monumental After Hours Til Dawn Tour, which surpassed $1 billion USD in gross revenue, alongside strong global sales and streaming performance from his hit record Hurry Up Tomorrow.

The Canadian superstar also saw a major boost to his net worth following a landmark $200 million USD catalogue deal with Lyric Capital, a move that allowed him to retain creative control while unlocking immense financial value.

• Taylor Swift and Beyoncé Claim the Top Three

Pop powerhouse Taylor Swift followed closely in second place with $202 million USD, driven by chart-topping album sales from The Life of a Showgirl, a lucrative Disney+ documentary deal, and continued strength from her streaming catalogue.

In third place, Beyoncé earned $148 million USD, largely fueled by her record-breaking Cowboy Carter Tour, which grossed $407.6 million USD across a unique 32-show mini-residency format. The tour became the highest-grossing country tour in Billboard Boxscore history and the fastest to surpass $400 million USD.

• Competitive Middle and Strong Finish

The middle of the top 10 proved fiercely competitive. Kendrick Lamar ranked fourth with $109 million USD, boosted by his headline appearance at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, watched by 133.5 million viewers, and the success of his 2025 album GNX. His joint Grand National Tour with SZA also contributed significantly, grossing $358.7 million USD.
