n what may go down as one of the most remarkable stretches in modern entertainment history, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny has delivered a record-breaking week of achievements that spans music’s biggest stage and America’s biggest sporting event.
It began at the 2026 Grammy Awards, where Bad Bunny made history by winning Album of the Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos — the first Spanish-language album ever to take the music world’s most prestigious honor. He also took home awards for Best Global Music Performance and Best Música Urbana Album, cementing a milestone that critics say represents a seismic shift in how the Recording Academy recognizes global music and non-English language artistry.
His Grammy success sent Debí Tirar Más Fotos rocketing up charts worldwide, with multiple songs re-entering top positions on digital platforms — a chart surge that highlights the cultural and commercial pull of his work.
Just days later, Bad Bunny took his momentum to Super Bowl LX where he headlined the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California — one of the most-watched broadcasts in the world. The performance was historic in itself: he became the first solo Latin artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show performing primarily in Spanish, reaching an unprecedented global audience and elevating Latin culture on an enormous stage.
The show featured electrifying moments and surprise guests, including Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, and blended Bad Bunny’s signature style with homages to Puerto Rican heritage and the wider Latin music community.
Critics and fans alike noted the show’s cultural significance, as it brought reggaeton and Latin rhythms into the heart of mainstream American sports entertainment — a powerful affirmation of representation for Spanish-speaking artists.
