Anticipation for the Puerto Rican star's performance was sky high

Anticipation for the Puerto Rican superstar’s performance on Sunday night (February 8) was sky high, to the point where fans were joking that his set, not the football, was the real main event.

The sentiment was even echoed on the red carpet, where actress Madelyn Cline joked: “I think it’s so nice of them to play during his Bad Bunny concert.”

Before we forget, we should mention the Seattle Seahawks claimed the Super Bowl LX title with a 29 to 13 win over the New England Patriots.

Still, it was Bad Bunny who truly stole the spotlight at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The global star did not do it alone, bringing out an unforgettable lineup of A listers that kept viewers glued to their screens.

He invited none other than Lady Gaga for an unexpected duet that no one saw coming. The pair performed a high energy Latin version of Die With a Smile, instantly sending social media into a frenzy.

However, the special guests didn't end there as viewers could spot Pedro Pascal, Alix Earle, Carol G and Cardi B dancing on stage while Ricky Martin later joined the show to sing Lo que le pasó a Hawaii.

One of the most talked about moments has got to be the opening wedding ceremony that introduced Lady Gaga’s entrance.

And yes, it was real. The ceremony was later confirmed to be authentic, adding an emotional layer to an already unforgettable and moving performance.

It is an understatement to say viewers absolutely loved the halftime show, as praise for the Puerto Rican star poured in across social media.

This is a FANTASTIC halftime show.

Is this a legit wedding celebration??
