Hathaway, known for her thoughtful takes on art and culture, joined the chorus of stars celebrating Bad Bunny’s halftime show. On Monday, she described the performance as “amazing.”
Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, returned to the Super Bowl stage on February 8, assuming headline duties after previously appearing as a guest artist during Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s halftime show in 2020.
His 2026 headline set was widely dubbed the “Benito Bowl” and featured a mix of high-profile appearances and cultural moments.

The halftime performance drew attention for its star-studded lineup and surprising moments. Grammy winner Lady Gaga appeared onstage for a salsa-infused version of her song 'Die With a Smile,' blending her style with Bad Bunny’s vision.
Another iconic Puerto Rican artist, Ricky Martin, joined him to perform 'LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAII,' another standout moment of the show.
Other familiar faces also appeared during the performance, adding to the spectacle. Jessica Alba, Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Karol G, Alix Earle, and Young Miko were among the celebrities spotted enjoying and participating in the powerful visual celebration.
More than just star power, the performance included elements celebrating Bad Bunny’s culture and heritage, transforming the halftime show into a tribute that many said pushed the boundaries of what a Super Bowl performance can be.

Bad Bunny’s set didn’t just rely on surprise guests and visuals; it carried a message. After briefly speaking in English during his performance, he declared, “God bless America,” before naming several countries across the Americas, including Chile, Argentina, Mexico, and the United States.
The moment, along with a spiked football reading “Together, we are America,” sparked discussion by broadening the traditional phrase’s meaning beyond the United States.
The show also wove in imagery and elements from Puerto Rican culture, from traditional games to nods to history and identity.
This halftime performance followed another landmark achievement for Bad Bunny: a Grammy win for his album 'Debi Tirar Mas Fotos', the first fully Spanish-language album to win Album of the Year. That recent accolade added momentum to an already historic night and kept the spotlight on the artist’s influence.
Reactions poured in from both fans and fellow performers. Lady Gaga took to social media, calling the experience “powerful” and expressing gratitude for being part of the show, saying she was “so humbled to be a part of this moment.”
