On February 8, 2026, Bad Bunny set the California Super Bowl halftime show on fire. Seen by 128.2 million viewers, his electrifying performance quickly became the fourth most-watched in history, surpassing those of Rihanna and Katy Perry.

It was a highly anticipated performance for fans of the Puerto Rican artist, but also attracted many curious spectators. On February 8, 2026, in California, Bad Bunny delivered an unforgettable show celebrating Latin culture and highlighting reggaeton and the Spanish language. Driven by infectious energy and a meticulously designed stage setup, Bad Bunny brought along several esteemed guests for the occasion, including Lady Gaga, to perform a Latin-inspired version of their duet, “Die With A Smile,” and Ricky Martin for the song “El apagón.” Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Jessica Alba, and Karol G were also spotted among the many dancers filling the stadium floor.

For 13 minutes, the Puerto Rican artist delivered an electrifying set filled with hits, from "Tití Me Preguntó" to "NUEVAYoL", with a surprise encore of "Monaco." The result? A large crowd tuned in to this halftime show at the Super Bowl. According to Nielsen and Adobe Analytics data (reported by Consequence and NME), Bad Bunny’s halftime performance drew an average of 128.2 million viewers! This achievement ranks his show as the 4th most-watched Super Bowl halftime act in history, ahead of Rihanna and Katy Perry.

However, Bad Bunny falls short of Kendrick Lamar’s record-breaking concert last year, which drew a staggering 133.5 million views. Michael Jackson's 1993 performance (133.4 million) and Usher's 2024 concert also top his current figures.

Remember that Bad Bunny is set to make a stop in the capital this summer, with two massive shows scheduled at Europe's largest indoor arena. There’s no doubt that his performance will dazzle and get the crowd dancing at Paris La Défense Arena.
