During a halftime performance filled with energy and cultural celebration, one moment stood out. A wedding ceremony took place on the 50-yard line.
As Bad Bunny performed at Levi’s Stadium, a bride and groom exchanged vows in the midst of the dancers. This quickly caught people's attention on social media and sparked widespread debate about whether it was a legal marriage or a staged act.
Fact Check: The wedding ceremony was real
Yes, while the Super Bowl stage is typically reserved for tightly choreographed spectacle, Bad Bunny used his halftime platform to host what was reported to be a real wedding ceremony.
The moment unfolded during his performance of 'Tití Me Preguntó,' a song that playfully mocks societal pressure to get married.
As the performance continued, an officiant appeared onstage and formally wed two individuals, a moment that left viewers questioning whether the ceremony was authentic or simply part of the show.
The wedding was legitimate, according to multiple news reports.
The couple had originally invited Bad Bunny to officiate their ceremony, but as he was unable to attend due to his Super Bowl halftime commitments, the artist instead brought their wedding to the Super Bowl stage at Levi’s Stadium, just moments before Lady Gaga’s surprise guest appearance.
During the performance, the newlyweds shared a kiss before parting to reveal surprise guest Lady Gaga, who joined Bad Bunny onstage to perform 'Die With a Smile' backed by a live band.
The couple later sat at the corner of the stage beside a three-tier wedding cake, eventually cutting and sharing a large slice as the celebration continued.
