Lady Gaga is expressing her gratitude to Bad Bunny for letting her be part of his record-breaking Super Bowl LX halftime show performance.
“Thank you Benito for including me in this powerful, important, and meaningful performance,” Gaga, 39, wrote via Instagram on Monday, February 9, alongside a photo of the Joker star and Bad Bunny, 31, behind the scenes of Super Bowl 60. “I am so humbled to be a part of this moment.”
The singer continued, “It’s all the more special because it was with you and your beautiful heart and music. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ All my love to Benito, Ricky and the whole cast.”
Gaga (real name Stefani Germanotta) also shared her appreciation for her stylists Chloe Delgadillo and Chenelle Delgadillo, thanking the pair for her “beautiful styling and fashion.”
“All of your talent and love made that beautiful dress come to life,” she added.
Gaga was one of Bad Bunny’s surprise guests during the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, February 8, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots faced off in the NFL championship. (The Seahawks walked away Super Bowl champs for the second time in the franchise’s history.)
The Grammy winner joined the rapper on stage to perform a solo version of her and Bruno Mars’ duet “Die With a Smile.” The arrangement was changed to give the song an appropriate salsa flair. The singer also paid homage to Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rican heritage by donning a blue pleated dress with a brooch featuring Puerto Rico’s national flower, the flor de maga.
While on stage, Gaga and Bad Bunny (real name Benito Martínez Ocasio) shared a sweet dance. In addition to Gaga, Ricky Martin sang during the halftime show. Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal, Karol G, Alix Earle, Cardi B and Jessica Alba all made cameos during the La Casita portion of the performance, a recurring symbol in Bad Bunny’s tour and Puerto Rico residency.
Days before their Super Bowl, Gaga and Bad Bunny shared a sweet interaction at the 2026 Grammys. After Bad Bunny won the award for Best Música Urbana Album, Gaga came up to the rapper to speak to him. After the ceremony, Bad Bunny shared details about the pair’s interaction.
“She said, ‘I love you!’ And that’s it,” Bad Bunny told Access Hollywood about crossing paths with Gaga at the awards show. “And I was like, ‘I love you too!’”
Bad Bunny had family on his mind when he took the field for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. The rapper, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, wore a cream-colored custom jersey for his performance, with “Ocasio” on the back and No. 64. “Bad Bunny paid homage to his uncle who played football […]
Bad Bunny and Gaga’s history dates back way before they shared the Super Bowl LX stage. In 2020, Bad Bunny revealed he was a big fan of Gaga’s music after he was spotted wearing a T-shirt featuring the pop star’s Chromatica cover art.
“That album makes me feel more happy,” Bad Bunny told E! News of his Chromatica fandom at the time. “When she dropped that album, I was in a really good moment, enjoying my life. I love that album.”
Four years later, Gaga shared that she was also a big fan of Bad Bunny and dreamed of working with him one day.
“I’m actually a very big Bad Bunny fan,” she told Despierta América in September 2024. “Yes, I love Bad Bunny. If he wants to [work together], of course. I would love to.”
